OPINION
Liverpool midfielder Fabinho had a bit of a mixed time of it during the first half of his side’s Champions League semi final first leg against Barcelona on Wednesday night. The Brazilian started off the game brilliantly, patrolling the centre of midfield and providing a sold wall in front of the Reds back four. There was one memorable moment early on when the former Monaco man managed to make a tremendous tackle on Barca superstar Lionel Messi. However, as the opening period rolled on, the 25-year-old gradually began to struggle with the relentless nature of this Barcelona team. Messi, in particular, having been dealt with well early on, was soon terrorising Fabinho and the rest of the Liverpool midfield. The Argentine often drops deep in order to create for his teammates, and he began twisting and turning around Fabinho. Let’s hope that the Brazilian gets back to top form after the break.
