Confirmed: Salah ruled out of Barca clash

Salah will not be the only big absence as Roberto Firmino, who participated at 15 minutes at the first leg, will also miss the game.

Klopp added “Two of the world's best strikers are not available tomorrow night and we have to score four goals, i t doesn't make life easier but we will try for 90 minutes to celebrate the Champions League campaign to give it a proper finish."

Liverpool players are searching for a miracle to reach the final after losing the first leg in Spain 3-0 thanks to a goal from former Liverpool player, Luis Suarez and two goals from Barca captain, Lionel Messi.
