Jurgen Klopp has elected to stick with his recent habit of forgoing the opportunity to train at the opposition’s home ground during Champions League away trips.
Liverpool’s first-team squad visited Camp Nou on Tuesday evening prior to facing Barcelona in the first leg of the sides’ semi-final tie tomorrow.
However, they did not take part in a session at the world-famous venue - choosing instead to continue with a routine that began in late November.
Having suffered defeats in their first two away games in this competition this season, the Reds trained at Melwood prior to facing Paris Saint-Germain at Parc des Princes.
While that fixture yielded yet another loss, Klopp’s team produced arguably their best performance on the road in Europe in 2018-19 up to that point.
And so, the German has since put his players through their paces on Merseyside before flying out to the continent for games.
That has worked to good effect in the knockout stages, with Liverpool having beaten Bayern Munich and Porto 3-1 and 4-1 in the last 16 and quarter-finals respectively.
And, having done the same ahead of tomorrow’s game, Klopp will hope for a similar outcome at Camp Nou.
