Manchester City have a mental and physical mountain to climb in their Champions League quarter-final second leg against Liverpool.

Pep Guardiola’s must overturn a 3-0 deficit from their first leg at Anfield a week ago.

Jurgen Klopp’s swashbuckling side blew City away in a supreme first half salvo.

Mohamed Salah put Liverpool ahead in the blink of an eye.

The prolific Egyptian dovetailed with Roberto Firmino before sweeping in from six yards in front of the Kop.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain then took control in the centre and fizzed his shot inside the left-hand post to beat Ederson.

And Sadio Mane made it three when he headed in Salah’s teasing cross.

Barcelona go to Roma boasting a 4-1 aggregate lead after the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.

The Catalan giants bossed their Italian counterparts at the Camp Nou last week.

Daniele de Rossi put through his own net for the first on 38 minutes as Andres Iniesta tried to pick out Lionel Messi.

The own goal count doubled when Samuel Umtiti’s shot came back off the post and in off the hapless Kostas Manolas.

Barca managed one for themselves when a Luis Suarez effort was well saved by Alisson Becker, who nevertheless couldn’t prevent Gerard Pique tapping in the rebound from close range.

Edin Dzeko pulled one back for the visitors but Suarez restored the three goal gap on 87 minutes with a rasping finish.
