    End of 2nd Half
    90+5'
    FT: Barcelona 3-0 Liverpool. Messi's late double and Suarez's first-half strike leave Liverpool with a mountain to climb in the second leg of this CL semi final tie at Anfield.
    It could have been worse for Liverpool as Dembele fired straight at Alisson with the last kick of the game when sent clean through by Messi.

    Liverpool pay the price for allowing Messi to drop into a pocket of space and run at the them. His intended pass deflected to Saurez, and when his shot came off the woodwork, the little Argentine was on hand to do the rest in front of an empty net.

    GOAL! Messi doubles Barca's lead as he follows up to tuck home after Suarez's shot came back off the crossbar.
