Liverpool fans are just one game away from a prospective reunion with Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho following Barcelona’s comprehensive win over Manchester United in the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday night.
The Red Devils, trailing 1-0 from the first leg, were undone thanks to a superb performance from Lionel Messi, who bagged a quickfire brace within the first 20 minutes at Camp Nou, while Coutinho added a ferocious long-range third just after the hour.
