Champions League 2017/18: Ranking the attacking strength of the Semifinalists

#1 - Liverpool

Liverpool are on a mission to regain their dominant status in England and Europe.

After quite a long time, Liverpool have managed to enter the final 4 of the Champions League and they're firmly in contention to get their sixth title, a number which is way too far for other English clubs to eclipse.

Jurgen Klopp deserves a lot of credit for the way his side defeated Manchester City, who've been breathtaking this season. Klopp got the better of Pep Guardiola home and away, a feat achieved by very few managers in the contemporary world.

Liverpool have registered a whopping 33 goals in the Champions League this season, which is simply outstanding. The Roman defense will be difficult to breach, but nothing is impossible for a side with Klopp at the helm.

Coming to their frontline, Mohamed Salah's rendition this season has been beyond description. He's second only to Cristiano Ronaldo in the Champions League this season, having amassed 8 goals already.

Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are resigned to a fact that Salah is their main man and are trying to ensure he's on the ball when it matters the most.

Having said that, Firmino has as many goals as Salah in the Champions League, having netted 8 times for the Reds. Mane, on the other hand, has 7 goals to his credit.

So clearly, this trio is working brilliantly together and the versatility of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlin came in handy when Salah was substituted early in the second half in the first leg against Manchester City.

Going by how they've reciprocated to some obnoxious situations this season, Liverpool should get the better of Roma and book themselves a ticket to Kiev.

They certainly have the best attacking trio in Europe going by the stats, but their defense is equally vulnerable. But the way they held the 3-goal cushion in the first leg against City for over 50 minutes was an encouraging sight.

They're slowly regaining their status as one of the best in England and winning Europe's most elite competition is probably the best way to do so. The task is not easy, but certainly not impossible.
