'Win and I'll go home'published at 18:57 British Summer Time 7 May 2019
This is a bit odd.
If Tottenham win the Champions League would Mauricio Pochettino go back to Argentina?
It appears so.

Ben Woodburn is on the Liverpool bench tonight - he spent the first half of the season with Super Chrissy Wilder's Blades.
You say that Liverpool team as it if it's full of bad/average players. The side who started the final win in 2005:
Dudek: Finnan, Carragher, Hyypia, Traore; Alonso; Garcia, Gerrard, Riise; Kewell; Baros

Matt Harding: If that Liverpool team reach the CL final, past that Barcelona team, it will be the greatest turn around in footballing history.

Liverpool are looking to become only the third team in the history of the European Cup/Champions League to come from three goals down after the first leg of a semi-final and progress to the final, after Panathinaikos in 1970-71 and Barcelona in 1985-86.
Divock Origi to win the Premier League and Champions League for Liverpool? You heard it here first.
And probably last.

Liverpool make four changes from the Newcastle game.
In: Matip, Milner, Shaqiri, Origi
Out: Lovren, Wijnaldum, Salah, Sturridge.
Rhian Brewster is on the bench.
Would anyone GENUINELY be annoyed if Luis Suarez scored and celebrated? Seriously?

You're having your say on who should start...
Neil Anthony James: I’ll be following the game tonight from Barcelona! I’m a huge LFC fan living in Barcelona. I was at the stadium last week for what was an amazing match no matter what! Tonight I would go with Mane up front, Ox on the right, Shaqiri on the left!
Park The Bus: Big Shaq as a false 9 between Mané and Brewster please old Kloppo. Hope Liverpool are wise to the play acting about to come their way. I'm sure LFC fans would prefer if Suarez said he wouldn't roll around like a baby rather than muting his celebrations
Hello!
Liverpool have mounted a salvage job or two of their own down the years of course.
But what's the best comeback? You can have your say here.

On the way to Anfield. It's cold, wet and grey. Starting to believe that bit more.

As simple as team news gets - Barcelona name the same side as the first leg. They rested all XI at the weekend too...

Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson was hoping for a "murky and mucky night" at Anfield to help build the kind of atmosphere Liverpool will need for a famous comeback... but he hasn't got it.
It is a bit chilly on Merseyside this evening and it has been spitting a bit in the last half-hour too, but no rain is forecast. If Liverpool are going to do this, they will have to do it without the help of the weather.
That referee by the way was Tom 'Tiny' Wharton, who died in 2005.
Check out this brilliant quote from Celtic legend Billy McNeil:
"He refereed games the way he wanted to referee games.
"He did not bother whether the rules were strictly applied. He had his own rules."
Maverick.

In all European competition, Liverpool have only lost one of their 18 home semi-finals at Anfield (W14 D3 L1), losing 0-1 to a Billy Bremner goal against Leeds United in the 1970-71 Fairs Cup.

Video footage of fireworks being let off near the Hilton hotel in Liverpool city centre, where Barcelona players were staying, has prompted a statement from Merseyside police.
A statement from Merseyside Police read: "We can confirm a report was received of fireworks being set off at Chavasse Park in Liverpool city centre shortly after 4am today (Tuesday 7 May 2019).
"It is against the law to carry or use adult fireworks if you are under 18, and illegal for people of any age to let off or throw a firework in a public place."
Indeed Tim. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will (excuse the cliche again) be like a new signing next season won't he?

Tim Mayhew: Would be nice to see the Ox making a dynamic comeback tonight in his best position (Salah's)
Josh Hammond: Calling it now: Liverpool go 3-0 up, then Suarez scores in the 89th minute to send them out of the competition.

Ex-Liverpool defender
If Liverpool make the Champions League final, it would be the Reds' greatest result ever.
They have obviously had some big ones before and I have been there to play in or watch most of them, but because of the way Barcelona are, and particularly because of the genius of Lionel Messi, if Jurgen Klopp's side get through this tie then this would be a recovery like nothing else I have seen before.
Of course people will read that and ask "what about Istanbul?" - when Liverpool famously fought back from being 3-0 down at half-time against AC Milan to win the 2005 Champions League final, but that was slightly different.
That performance was absolutely brilliant, but it basically was just down to them gambling everything to get back in the game and throwing everyone forward.
Do that again this time, and the tie will probably be over within a matter of minutes.
