Much better in the second half. We worked our socks off and stopped Barca. Kuyt could have scored a brace but his second chance fell to Bellars, who fed Riise for a right-footed shot to give us an edge in the tie. So much for leg breaking huh?
Although Barca really helped us with their shambolic defending, our game plan worked and forced Rijkaard to bring on more attacking substitutes. If we had been more clinical we could have scored one or two more.
But a great result to take us back to Anfield. Barca 1 Pool 2.
