When Liverpool were full of wounded soldiers, their ability to retreat in the Juventus Arena was indeed generally appreciated by the European media.
If Juventus want to advance to the Champions League final, they must win a victory at Anfield today, or at least a 3:3 or above draw to eliminate Liverpool!
Liverpool's goal is relatively simple. Winning at home will definitely qualify for the Champions League final!
Both teams are still leaders in the Premier League and Serie A in the league. Liverpool's lead is only 2 points, but there are only 2 rounds left in the league.
Juventus leads Roma by 7 points, but in the coming weekend, they will have a direct dialogue with Roma, but now Juventus will definitely not think so much, they will concentrate on this Champions League semi-final!

Juventus's starting lineup has not changed from a week ago.
It can be seen that both teams put their strongest line-ups to play in the Champions League semi-finals of these two rounds!
Let us wait and see who is the winner! "
Situ Yunbing and Allegri stood on the sidelines in the coaching command area. The two were fully focused on waiting for the start of the game. This confrontation was a confrontation between the two as coaches on the highest-level stage, which could be called a peak duel.
Liverpool took the lead in teeing off in the loud cheers at Anfield Stadium.
After kick-off, Liverpool immediately launched an offensive. Robertson on the left quickly moved to the front left. After receiving the pass from Casemiro, he immediately hit the wall with Gareth Bale to penetrate Alves’ defense zone. Then a pass was sent out.
Vardy outflanked the response in the penalty area, and Bonucci was in place to clear the siege.
After the football cleared, Pjanic was seized by Eriksson and took the lead in stealing the ball. Eriksson took the ball and knocked it back to Henderson. The latter sent a diagonal pass and the football rolled to the ground. Right in front of the penalty area, Mbappé took the ball and turned around to make Sandro take the ball, but when he turned around to break through Chiellini, the ball was too big, which caused him to catch up with the football again. The shooting angle was narrow, and the football he barely shot went straight to the near corner of the goal. Buffon smoothly blocked the near corner and hugged the ball.
The Red Army fans applauded.
"Liverpool played a very strong offensive after the opening!
Compared to the Juventus Arena a week ago, Liverpool's attack on the left is significantly more active. Robertson's active participation in the front attack can well help Liverpool make more changes on the front line. "
When it was Juventus’s turn to attack, they did not sluggish, even if it was an away game, Juventus showed almost the same positive posture and strength as a week ago.
Situ Yunbing looked solemn on the sidelines when Marchisio made a diagonal pass from the backcourt to the left.
Because he saw Dybala coming to the left to meet, while Sandro quickly moved forward, and Pjanic approached this side, Juventus showed a tactical suppression of attacking the left from the beginning!
Allegri does not want Juventus to lose the final tickets in the away game, so no matter what Liverpool is playing today, Juventus is going all the way to the black today, trying to break Liverpool's right defense!
Even though Henderson helped defend the area in front of Arnold, with Dybala, Pjanic, and Sandro's quick triangle pass, Arnold still failed to block Sandro.
It can be seen that Juventus has clearly invested a lot of troops in the attack on the left.
Higuain and Mandzukic reached the penalty area to receive Sandro's cross.
This makes Van Dijk and Benatia have to win in defense!
Otherwise, Liverpool's goal is basically unable to block the opponent's attack!
Fortunately, Sandro's pass was not high enough, and he was successfully cleared by Van Dijk directly in front of the penalty area!
Juventus all retreat to defense!
When Situ Yunbing saw this scene, a smile rose from the corner of his mouth, and it disappeared in a flash.
It seems that Allegri is not considering the top battle with Rome on the weekend!
That's right!
Only then has the consciousness of the decisive battle!
Let go of all worries, just for a fierce battle in front of you!
Van Dijk’s football was controlled by Mbappe on the right side of the midfield. Marchisio quickly rushed towards him. Mbappe calmly knocked the ball back diagonally to Henderson, who made no adjustments. Go straight to the left of the front field!
Gareth Bale quickly rushed to the left side of the frontcourt and stopped the ball at his feet when the football went out of the sideline. Alves rushed up to force the ball, and Gareth Bale immediately knocked the ball back.
Robertson was about to kill halftime almost at the same time!
Juventus heavily bombarded Liverpool's right side today, and Liverpool also persistently attacked Juventus's right defense!
Situ Yunbing and Allegri thought of going together!
Now it's up to see who of the two teams can tear open the opponent's defense first!
Robertson stopped and changed to go inside and disrupted Juventus's defensive deployment. Marchisio quickly returned to the center and Mbappe quickly followed up from the right.
Alves's income in the middle intends to intercept Robertson as soon as possible!
Because Pjanic did not return to defense so quickly, and Marchisio seemed to be beyond his reach, Alves naturally wanted to buy time for Marchisio to retreat to the back line.
Robertson then sent the ball diagonally to the sidewalk outside the penalty area when Alves hit two meters ahead.
Gareth Bale cuts inside at average speed, and Balzali is also preparing to intercept him.
But what was unexpected was the sudden acceleration when Gareth Bale touched the ball!
Even with the ball from the front of Barzagli forcibly overtaking breakthrough!
Barzali is too late to turn around, and there is no chance for a foul!
Just when Gareth Bale came to the bottom line of the penalty area, Bonucci ran to block the line he continued to cross, and Chiellini came to the center of the door to guard Vardi.
Gareth Bale made an inverted triangle pass without any hesitation!
Mbappe swiftly rushed into the middle of the penalty area, swayed the ball in one step, and then kicked and hit the inverted line!
The football flew to the far corner of the goal, and when everyone thought that the goal would definitely be scored, Buffon flew like a to save the ball with a single palm to the bottom line!
Upon seeing this, Mbappe looked up to the sky and exhaled a deep breath.
After all, it is Buffon who is facing, he still needs more tricky shots!
"Buffon! Buffon shut out Mbappé's shot!
Liverpool has played a wonderful team, the fast attack is very fast, Robertson is also very resolute in assists, when Gareth Bale breaks through Barzagli, we can see that Gareth Bale is lightning fast at his peak. The explosive ability to eat!
Then Gareth Bale's pass was just right. Mbappe took the opportunity to lap the ball and adjusted his shot after a step. It was also very threatening, but Buffon saved Juventus at the critical moment!
But next time?
Can you still rely on Buffon? "
Liverpool took a tactical corner kick, Henderson tried a long shot from the periphery, but it was too far!
After Juventus opened the goal, he quickly pushed the offensive forward.
Pjanic suddenly took a long pass just past the middle court.
The football flew to the left outside Liverpool's penalty area.
Mandzukic pulled to the wing and used his physical advantage to block Arnold behind. Then the header was passed to Dybala, who took the initiative to catch it. The Argentine star changed the ball to Henderson after stopping the ball. Intercepted, and then sent a straight kick to the left rib outside the penalty area.
Mandzukic turned around and cut in after the header was ferryed. Due to the physical advantage, Arnold had nothing to do with him.
Situ Yunbing looked solemn. Although Juventus was attacking the left flank, it was not rigidly attacking this point. In terms of cooperation, there were more changes than in the first round of confrontation.
In addition to Sandro's assist threat, Mandzukic's active side-drawing can definitely play a local advantage!
It's just that when Mandzukic slid into the ball, his defense against Van Dijk lacked sufficient flexibility and breakthrough skills to allow him to continue the offensive.
Finally, Van Dijk stabbed the ball when he wanted to adjust the ball!
Dybala was the first to touch the ball from outside the penalty area and then cut the ball and blasted a long shot!
The football flew straight to the far corner of the goal. This ball definitely made the Red Army fans nervous. Ter Stegen moved quickly and flew to the rescue. All the Red Army players and fans only watched the football wipe the outside of the far post and fly out of the baseline. Relieved!
Dybala grinned with a regretful expression.
"Dybala's sudden long shot almost scored for Juventus!
That's not a big difference!
If you can close a little more towards the goal, this ball will be there!
Juventus's offensive threat is not bad, the two teams played inextricably, it depends on who can score first! "
