Ranking Liverpool's performances against every Champions League opponent

#1 vs Manchester City (Quarter-final)

Manchester City v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League - Quarter Final - Second Leg - Etihad Stadium

Undoubtedly the best performance, over two games, by Liverpool in Europe this season. The blistering pace of Liverpool's attack took Manchester City by storm, as the Reds took a 3-0 lead inside half an hour at Anfield. This season's runaway Premier League champions were taken apart by Salah, Mane, Firmino and Oxlade-Chamberlain.

They won the tie but that happened only because of the fight showed by every single player. 45 minutes of trying to stop the mighty Manchester City from scoring one goal is a very envious task, but the Reds managed to pull it off.

Trent Alexander-Arnold had the game of his life as he won his hard-fought battle against Leroy Sane, while Virgil van Dijk and Dejan Lovren helped to maintain the all-important clean sheet at home.

City came out of the blocks early in the second leg and threatened to run away with the game and the tie, but could only manage one goal in the first half. The second half saw Liverpool play on the counter, and it worked perfectly.

As soon as Mo Salah scored the decisive away goal, the tie was in the bag. Liverpool, however, managed to win at the Etihad as well, with Firmino scoring the game-winning goal.

These results were compounded by spectacular showings all across the field, from defence till attack, in both legs. This is exactly what would be required in Kiev if the Reds are to bring home European Cup number six, as Liverpool take on Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League Final.
