Roommates need a miracle in BL, Messians can say goodbye as well

The German team may have some hope that Pool, which has been forced to deprive a number of players, mainly defenders, due to injury, has only been able to win two of eight bets in the past month. Leipzig, on the other hand, have only lost a BL match against Liverpool in nine of their clashes since January 30, leaving the defending champion and list leader Bayern Munich with only a two-point disadvantage in the German league.

Liverpool head coach Jürgen Klopp could once again have a headache to put together the starting line-up, as five footballers are missing from the defense due to injury. The English band doesn’t have to rush ahead, having a two-goal advantage should rather strive to keep it up, but it’s a question of whether it can do so with toothless defense.

Of course, the Leipzig players are also missing, the biggest of which is the Austrian Marcel Sabitzer, who is the defining individual of the midfield on the team. Szoboszlai has not been able to present himself in Leipzig since his transfer in the winter, and Orbán suffered a handbone fracture, he underwent surgery, and it is still a question of when he can play again.

The German band marched to the semi-finals in the previous call, but now they would have to bring down Wednesday’s match without a goal to fight to advance, while having to score three times for the Liverpool goal.

In the case of the other clash on Wednesday, fans may think of the 2017 eight-final duel the most: then Paris Saint-Germain beat Barcelona 4-0 at home, which then won 6-1, showing a resurrection rarely seen in the rematch, and advanced. At the time, Brazilian Neymar had even strengthened the Catalan star team, but now he is a dominant player in Paris, although due to his injury, it is still questionable whether he can play on Wednesday.

The current duel between the two teams also promises serious excitement, as in the first match - mainly thanks to the masterpiece of the trio Kylian Mbappé - the PSG won 4-1 in Barcelona, so he was in a very favorable position in the rematch. Barca, however, drifted into a financial and moral crisis, is past one of the darkest periods of its existence, and Sunday’s elected old-new president, Joan Laporta, has promised to travel to Paris to fight for progress.

Barca and PSG have competed against each other several times since 1995, but the Catalans have only won once in the 2015 quarterfinals in the French capital.

Paris head coach Mauricio Pochettino can almost stand up in the rematch with his best, with Juan Bernat and Tilo Kehrer missing at most. Ronald Koeman, on the other hand, may be most concerned that Gerard Piqué, Ansu Fati and Sergi Roberto will not be available to him.
