Barcelona v Liverpool live - Champions League semi-final first-leg

Postpublished at 17:14 British Summer Time 1 May 2019
Barcelona are chasing their first final since 2015 but appear revitalised by the form of Lionel Messi.
Can anyone stop him? Plenty seem to think Virgil van Dijk is the best man for it and it makes for a scintillating battle.
Liverpool want to reach back-to-back finals. The Premier League title race may be out of their hands but if they win three more games, they could pick up a different trophy.
Not bad, eh?

Casillas in hospitalpublished at 17:07 British Summer Time 1 May 2019
Sadly, I've got some bad news to bring you, coming out of Porto this afternoon.
Former Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas has been taken to hospital after suffering heart problems at Porto's training ground.
The club stated that the 37-year-old is "stable" in hospital and remains under observation.
Casillas won three Champions League titles, and La Liga five times, at Real Madrid.
Everyone at BBC Sport wishes Iker well and hopes he recovers soon.

It's games like these that you dream about.
A Champions League semi-final under the lights at the Nou Camp. Two great teams going head-to-head in the world's biggest competition.
From Lionel Messi to Virgil van Dijk - we've got some serious talent on show tonight.
There's also the added spice of some former player rivalries in Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho.
I. Can't. Wait.
