Liverpool’s Champions League defeat to Barcelona was ‘even more embarrassing’ than Manchester United’s 3-0 loss at the Nou Camp earlier this season.
That’s according to talkSPORT host – and Red Devils fan – Andy Goldstein, who says Jurgen Klopp’s side were ‘outclassed in every department’ against the Spanish giants.

Liverpool have been left with a lot to do in the second leg at Anfield
Liverpool have got a mountain to climb to reach their second successive Champions League final, after they were beaten by a Lionel Messi-inspired Barca in the first leg of their semi-final clash.
The Reds were in the ascendancy for most of the game, dominating possession on large periods at the stadium where the home side’s ball retention usually reigns supreme.
Masterful Messi was ultimately the difference.
Trailing by former No.7 Luis Suarez’s first-half goal, Liverpool looked the more likely to score for the majority of the match until the 75th minute, when Messi pounced on a rebound and then scored a sublime free-kick – his 600th Barcelona goal – to make it 3-0.

Messi proved once again why he is one of the best ever – he was unstoppable against Liverpool
It was the same scoreline which saw arch rivals Manchester United dumped out of the competition in the previous round, and Red Devils supporter Goldstein wasted little time in rubbing the salt in the wounds of Liverpool fans after the final whistle.
Speaking on Wednesday night’s Sports Bar, the host said: “A lot of Liverpool fans phoned me up after the United game, when United went to Barcelona and lost by the same scoreline, and rightly so because it was one-way traffic.
“But they all told me that when Liverpool go there it would be totally different, but let me tell you, I thought tonight was worse, I think tonight was more embarrassing.

“Liverpool are a better team than United and Liverpool have got better players than United.
“On the night I saw two totally different performances. I saw a United performance where they had chances early on, Rashford should have scored and it could have been so different.
“But you didn’t see that with Liverpool. Mo Salah missed an open goal and James Milner hit one straight down the barrel at Ter Stegen.
“They were outclassed in every department. I said Barcelona were head and shoulders above Liverpool and tonight they utterly proved it, I thought they were brilliant.â€
