Liverpool have been playing great explosive and attacking football this season. Currently sitting in 3rd 10 points ahead of Chelsea who are 5th . With six games left it looking more and more likely that they will seal a champions league spot next season. Before the season Liverpool’s main goal was to finish top four and the cups where a bonus. However they have managed to reach the quarterfinals in the champions league where they got drawn against Manchester City. City are the obvious favourites in this tie but you can never underestimate Anfield on a champions league night. Liverpool incredibly won the first game in the tie 3-0 at home and have one foot in the champions league semi finals. They still have to play at the Etihad and last time City absolutely battered them 5-0 there. That was an unusual game where mane got sent off before half time and Liverpool’s game plan was ruined.

After the first leg in the quarterfinals people are already saying Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Liverpool are through to the semi’s. It´s no secrete that Liverpool are the worst on paper but they have gotten used to that. In 2005 they did not have the best players in the competition but we all know what happened. They beat a loaded A.C. Milan team in the final and won there fifth champions league trophy. History has shown us that it´s not always the best team on paper that wins major competitions. Leicester in 2016, Greece in 2004 and Porto in 2004. Liverpool are obviously not the favourites but all I’m saying is that every team that gets tis far has a chance.
