Liverpool’s James Milner is confident his side can beat Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final but admits moving to the next round will be very difficult because the Spanish giants are known to be a ‘strong team’.
Comfortably knocking Porto out of the semi-final, Milner believes Liverpool’s style of play can cause the Spanish champions problems.
“We can beat Barca but we know it will be very tough..
“They’re a strong team and it is a tough place to go, but I don’t think they will have played too many teams with the style we play either.
Liverpool will travel to the Nou Camp for the first leg on May 1 with the second leg at Anfield a week later on May 7.
Also, he is counting on Liverpool’s European experience over the last two seasons.
“I’ve been there a couple of times in the knockout stages with (Manchester) City and not got the right result, so hopefully it is third time lucky for me. They’re a team full of great individual talent and a great side too.
“Over the last couple of seasons, with the teams we’ve beaten in the Champions League, we should go there with confidence no matter how tough it is going to be,” Milner added.
