Barcelona hold a major advantage heading into the second leg following the 3-0 victory at the Nou Camp last week. Lionel Messi was the star of the show, scoring a brace for the Blaugrana including a superb free kick.
Ernesto Valverde’s men have already won the Spanish La Liga title and have their attentions on the Champions League title.

Messi was among a number of key players rested in a 2-0 defeat at Celta Vigo on Saturday.
The Argentine forward is expected to return to the team on Tuesday alongside Arturo Vidal and Luis Suarez, both of whom impressed in the first leg. Barcelona are unbeaten in their last nine Champions League matches and are paying 3.25 to win at Anfield while a draw is priced at 3.75.
