Barcelona vs Liverpool: Dietmar Hamann suggests the Reds attack is better than Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez
Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann believes the Reds have better attacking players than Barcelona.The two teams meet in Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg at the Camp Nou and there will be an array of talent on the pitch from both sides, with Mohamed Salah, Lionel Messi and Sadio Mane all capable of determining the outcome of this match.2

Liverpool have Salah and Mane in attack

Hamann, who spent seven years at Liverpool, was widely credited as the catalyst for their victory in the 2005 Champions League final win over AC Milan, helping them to recover from three goals down and converting the first penalty in the shoot-out with a broken foot.And, the German is predicting a tight encounter, as Liverpool bid to progress and win a first European trophy since that night. I see it being really tight, maybe 1-0 to Barcelona, or perhaps a low scoring draw. Put it this way, I dont expect the tie to be over by the time both sets of players walk off the pitch at Camp Nou, he told the Racing Post.“Barcelona will dominate possession, we can be sure of that, but they dont boss games these days quite the way they used to.“At home to Lyon, the possession stats were 51-49 in their favour so Liverpool will definitely have more of the ball than they might have envisaged a few seasons back.Liverpool reached the semi-final with a comfortable 6-1 aggregate win over Porto, while Barcelona put four past Manchester United over two-legs.However, Hamann is not expecting this encounter to be as free-flowing, despite the calibre of players in attack.2

Hamann helped Liverpool win the Champions League in 2005

“And Barcelona will inevitably be wary of the threat posed by Liverpools front three, who are all match-winners and in the richest form.“In fact, I would suggest that Liverpools attacking unit is probably a better collective than Barcas at the moment with Reds old boy Luis Suarez not at his very best. And Suarez and Lionel Messi need to find a way past one of the best central defenders in the world in Virgil van Dijk, who will receive excellent protection from Fabinho, whos looking more and more like a top holding midfielder.Dont get duped into thinking there will be goals galore in this. This tie should still be very much in the balance when they return to Anfield.

Former Manchester United star Dimitar Berbatov has likened Romelu Lukaku to Barcelona legends Xavi and Andres Iniesta. The striker has started United's last three games due to injuries to Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard, and the Belgium striker has taken his chance, scoring twice in a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace on Wednesday.
