Missing Men: Barcelona 2001 Gary McAllister's penalty gave Liverpool a 1-0 win over Barcelona and booked a place in the UEFA Cup final when the two sides met at Anfield in 2001, but can you remember the rest of the starting XI from that April evening? Gerard Houllier's Reds had drawn 0-0 in the semi-final first leg at Camp Nou and headed into the return match having beaten Everton 3-2 with a last-gasp winner in the Merseyside derby a few days earlier. McAllister stunned Goodison Park with a 40-yard stoppage-time free-kick that day and it was the veteran Scot who stepped up to slot home from the spot on the stroke of half-time against Barcelona after Patrick Kluivert had handled the ball. please log in to view this image Vladimir Smicer had a good chance to open the scoring a little earlier but directed his header straight at 18-year-old goalkeeper Pepe Reina, who would be signed by Liverpool a few years down the line. Luis Enrique had a goal chalked off for offside as Barcelona pushed for an equaliser after the break, but a rear-guard superbly marshalled by Sami Hyypia held firm through a thrilling second half as the Reds advanced to their first European final for 16 years and remained on course for the treble. McAllister's cool penalty made the difference on the night, but who else made up the first XI?

I'd expect Brewster on the bench, but would be very surprised if he started! (Rather that than Sturridge start though) I think it's just one of those games where we've got to just say, "**** it", and go all out. If it's 3-0 still at half time because we've been safe, there's no chance. If we can claw it back to 3-1 or even 3-2, it's all to play for. Sadly, our attacking options apart from Mane are limited. If we go out, and it's likely, it would be nice to end with a win.
Get an early goal and could well be a very interesting game. Knowing we have to go for it though, could easily see barca scoring 2 or 3 on the counter.
yea I am. I have a feeling.... I believe we will hurt these tonight. result... whatever.. I believe we will hurt them
