The first half led me to believe there were many goals to follow in the second half. Sadly, there was no such thing.

A rugged first half plagued with defence problems and goalkeeper errors that kindly led into nothing on the night. After the defence found their bearings in the dressing rooms, the two totally nullified each other.

A clean sheet for both teams gives Liverpool the perfect platform that suits their game plan to the T – E – A – M’s personnel. A game on the counter with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, and Roberto Firmino? The Allianz will have a worrisome night when they meet in Germany.
