Liverpool’s pedigree in the UEFA Champions League shone through Wednesday night when they overpowered Manchester City in the quarterfinal first leg game at Anfield.
City’s lacklustre performance against Jurgen Klopp’s side ensured Mohamed Salah, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain and Sadio Mane each grabbed a goal each by the 31=.
With the victory, Liverpool close in on a semi-final appearance for the first time in years, with the return leg set to be played on Tuesday at the Etihad Stadium.
However, Liverpool’s celebrations were marred when their star player Salah was taken off over what appeared a muscle injury.
Meanwhile, Barcelona secured a resounding 4-1 victory over AS Roma at the Camp Nou with two own goals from Manolas and Daniele De Rossi and a goal each from Gerard Pique and Luis Suarez.
