Former Reds striker Luis Suarez set the ball rolling before Lionel Messi’s brace ensured Mohamed Salah and his teammates left Spain empty-handed.
As expected, football fans took to social media to share their thoughts on where Liverpool got things wrong.

Liverpool were naive. Played really well. Somehow managed not to score.

Have no idea how Liverpool didn’t score. They were brilliant but the greatest athlete of all time didn’t care.#BARLIV pic.twitter.com/YKxOVhIHWC

Things that went wrong for Liverpool tonight vs Barcelona:
— Sam - PrimeVardy (@Icfcsam) May 1, 2019
- Joe Gomez playing right-back.
- Naby Keïta coming off injured.
- Gini Wijnaldum in the CF role.
- Firmino coming on so late.
- Lionel Messi being alive.
Difficult to say more things about the game, @LFC had the chances but couldn't score one to keep it a bit more open. In the end, Messi made the difference as he normally does.

Anfield will have to do it again !!@FCBarcelona 3 vs @LFC 0
Liverpool really rode into Camp Nou like the Dothraki with their fire swords and met the same fate. Tough.

So the best Liverpool team in 30 years get beat in the Nou Camp by the same score as the worst United team in 30 years 👍
