Tactics Barcelona Applied to Sink Stubborn Liverpool

Barcelona had a difficult time dealing with their semi final Champions League opponents Liverpool.

Unlike many other teams which the Blaugranas usually control from beginning to end, Liverpool was a bit different with some magical strength and tactics.

The Reds fortified their defenses during the first half and some part of the second half. By the 14th minute, both teams had end to end attack and no team seemed calm down.

At that juncture, the Spain giants had to change tactics to sneak through Liverpool’s defense. And this happened at the 26th minute when Luis Suarez sneaked passed the Red’s defence and simply tapped the ball to challenge the Keeper.
