Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann believes the Reds have better attacking players than Barcelona.
The two teams meet in Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg at the Camp Nou and there will be an array of talent on the pitch from both sides, with Mohamed Salah, Lionel Messi and Sadio Mane all capable of determining the outcome of this match.

Liverpool have Salah and Mane in attack
Hamann, who spent seven years at Liverpool, was widely credited as the catalyst for their victory in the 2005 Champions League final win over AC Milan, helping them to recover from three goals down and converting the first penalty in the shoot-out with a broken foot.
And, the German is predicting a tight encounter, as Liverpool bid to progress and win a first European trophy since that night.

“I see it being really tight, maybe 1-0 to Barcelona, or perhaps a low scoring draw. Put it this way, I don’t expect the tie to be over by the time both sets of players walk off the pitch at Camp Nou, he told the Racing Post.
“Barcelona will dominate possession, we can be sure of that, but they don’t boss games these days quite the way they used to.
“At home to Lyon, the possession stats were 51-49 in their favour so Liverpool will definitely have more of the ball than they might have envisaged a few seasons back.
Liverpool reached the semi-final with a comfortable 6-1 aggregate win over Porto, while Barcelona put four past Manchester United over two-legs.
However, Hamann is not expecting this encounter to be as free-flowing, despite the calibre of players in attack.

“And Barcelona will inevitably be wary of the threat posed by Liverpool’s front three, who are all match-winners and in the richest form.
“In fact, I would suggest that Liverpool’s attacking unit is probably a better collective than Barca’s at the moment with Reds’ old boy Luis Suarez not at his very best. And Suarez and Lionel Messi need to find a way past one of the best central defenders in the world in Virgil van Dijk, who will receive excellent protection from Fabinho, who’s looking more and more like a top holding midfielder.
Don’t get duped into thinking there will be goals galore in this. This tie should still be very much in the balance when they return to Anfield.â€
