Barcelona vs Liverpool in UEFA Champions League Prediction

Barcelona have reclaimed their La Liga title with time to spear and a triple-winning season still remains on the cards.

Barcelona is now winning their last four matches across all competitions, including a 3-0 win over Manchester United in the quarter-finals a fortnight ago, the mood in Ernesto Valverde’s camp will be on a high.

Looking to end their four-year wait to lift a European crown, one man who has continued to spearhead Barcelona’s stellar campaign both domestically and in Europe is five-time Ballon d’Or winner, Lionel Messi.

Once again set reclaim his La Liga Golden Boot and sat 13 goals clear of his closest contender, the Argentinian superstar has 10 Champions League strikes to his name and is averaging a goal every 66 minutes.

Now winning their last three European outings on the bounce, Barcelona also hold a very commanding record at the Nou Camp. Barcelona are unbeaten in their last 31 Champions League outings the Catalan giants have conceded just 15 goals in those 31 games, and never more than once in a match.

Liverpool may have seen Manchester City leapfrog them into pole position in the Premier League title race, Jurgen Klopp’s side are enjoying a very bright end to the season.

Sat two points adrift of the Sky Blues, the Reds have won their last 10 matches across all competitions and have scored two or more goals in each of those victories.

Picking up a morale-boosting 5-0 win over an already relegated Huddersfield last weekend, the former Borussia Dortmund boss will be looking for his side to carry on their recent European performances outside of Merseyside.

Despite enduring a run that saw them lose five consecutive Champions League matches away from Anfield, Liverpool have picked up back-to-back victories over Bayern Munich and Porto.

Despite Mohamed Salah refinding his form, Senegal international Sadio Mane has now bagged four in his last four and has three in his last three Champions League matchups.

The Blaugrana have no major injury concerns and Valverde is likely to have to chose between fielding former Liverpool man Philippe Coutinho or Ousmane Dembele, both of whom are available.

Liverpool have concerns over Roberto Firmino, who missed the Friday night win over Huddersfield, although the club hope to have him back for Wednesday. Fabinho also missed Friday’s game, but could return as well at the Camp Nou.

Our Prediction: The game will end with over 2 goals with more advantage goes toward Barcelona

BREAKING NEWS: Van Dijk crowned PFA Players´ Player of the Year

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has won the PFA Players’ Player of the Year award after a sterling Premier League campaign.

Netherlands international Van Dijk has played a pivotal role in the Reds’ thrilling title challenge with Manchester City this season, a battle that looks set to go to the wire.

And his performances have not gone unnoticed, with the 27-year-old’s peers anointing him the competition’s best at a ceremony in London on Sunday.

Raheem Sterling, scorer of 17 goals in a superb season for Manchester City, was considered by many as Van Dijk’s closest rival, but the England star had to settle for being named the Young Player of the Year.

City team-mates Bernardo Silva and Sergio Aguero were also up for the main gong, as were Liverpool forward Sadio Mane and Chelsea star Eden Hazard.

Van Dijk joined Liverpool from Southampton in January 2018 for a widely reported fee of £75million, a world record for his position, and was part of the side that reached the Champions League final last term.

The towering defender, who is the first centre-back since John Terry in the 2004-05 season to win the prize, has played all 36 league matches for Jurgen Klopp’s side this term.

Last season, Liverpool conceded 38 goals in as many matches, but they look set to massively improve on that this season, having seen their defence breached on just 20 occasions – giving them the best record in the division.

It marks the second season straight that a Liverpool player has won the prestigious individual award, with Mohamed Salah having done so 12 months ago.

Fabio Cannavaro stepped down as China head coach to focus on his role with Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao, the Italy World Cup winner announced.

Cannavaro decided to quit after just two matches in charge of the national team – both home losses to Thailand and Uzbekistan in the China Cup last month.

The 45-year-old was juggling his commitments as coach of Chinese Super League giants Evergrande after China turned to him to replace Marcello Lippi in March.

After Evergrande edged Chongqing Dangdai Lifan 1-0 on Sunday, Cannavaro confirmed his international exit.

“Out of respect for the country that has been hosting me for some years, I feel the duty to communicate that I have renounced my position as head coach of the Chinese National Football Team,” Cannavaro wrote via Instagram.

“I wish to sincerely thank Guangzhou Evergrande Football Club and the Chinese Football Association for having offered me the position of the head coach of the two most important football teams in the country, however this double assignment would take me away from my family for too long.

“More than one month ago I informed my club about my intention to dedicate myself exclusively to my squad and my players. By maintaining only the position as head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande, I hope to contribute to the growth of young Chinese football players, working every day with passion and professionalism.

“I wish the Chinese National Team all the best for the qualifications to the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup. Thanks again to everybody.”

Cannavaro, who returned to Evergrande in 2017 having been sacked in 2015, has overseen six wins from seven matches as the CSL powerhouses sit second and three points adrift of leaders Beijing Guoan.

Evergrande are also on track to qualify for the AFC Champions League last 16, with Cannavaro’s men second heading into the final two matchdays in Group F.

Burnley 0 Manchester City 1: Aguero keeps title defence on track

Sergio Aguero scored another crucial goal for Manchester City as his strike in a 1-0 win at Burnley moved the defending champions back above Liverpool to the top of the Premier League table.

City were frustrated for long periods at Turf Moor on Sunday but they found the breakthrough in the 63rd minute, Aguero scoring his 20th Premier League goal of the season.

Aguero’s strike evaded the desperate efforts of Burnley defender Matt Lowton to clear off the line, with City’s 12th straight league victory moving Pep Guardiola’s side a point above Liverpool with two games remaining.

Previous Prediction: Inter vs Juventus under 2.5 goals

Nainggolan, Ronaldo On Target During Intense Stalemate

Inter Milan faced Juventus knowing they needed the three points to get closer to the Champions League next season. And while they couldn’t accomplish that goal, at the very least they managed to escape with a point against the newly-crowned Serie A champions, Juventus. An early goal from Radja Nainggolan gave Inter an early lead, but The Old Lady equalised thanks to a second-half strike from Cristiano Ronaldo.

Prediction: Inter Milan vs Juventus

Inter Milan are fighting for a UEFA Champions League berth ahead of the upcoming season. With only five matches left in the campaign, Inter know every single point counts. And unfortunately for them, they will endure a tough home match against Juventus, the reigning Serie A champions

Inter Milan might sit in third place of the Serie A standings with a decent chance of securing a UEFA Champions League berth for the upcoming season. However, they don’t enter this game in a particularly positive run of form.

Inter Milan won’t have Sime Vrsaljko. The Croatia international has been ruled out of this game due to a knee injury.

Another Croatian player, Marcelo Brozovic, will be a game-time decision. He’s been dealing with a thigh problem.

Juventus might not have anything to play for in this match since they already secured the league title. However, The Old Lady have their pride at stake here. Their rivalry with Inter Milan has always been a huge one, and this match won’t be the exception.

Martin Caceres and Paulo Dybala are out due to muscular injuries, while Sami Khedira is out due to a knee problem.

The fact that the past meetings between these two sides haven’t had many goals could be crucial here. I expect this match to end with under 2.5 goals in total.

Verdict: Under 2.5 goals scored – yes
