Here AFP Sport looks at three things we learned from the Camp Nou clash:After three successive quarter-final defeats, Lionel Messi is on a mission to lead Barcelona to their first Champions League final appearance since they last won the tournament in 2015.

Messi was just getting warmed up and in the 82nd minute he left Liverpool stunned when he curled a superb 25-yard free-kick into the top corner. Klopp's side fell behind in the 26th minute when former Liverpool forward Luis Suarez produced a predatory finish to convert Jordi Alba's cross. So it was easy to see why Klopp was concerned in his pre-match briefing about the damage that could be done by Messi and company.His assessment was correct and now Liverpool go into Tuesday's second leg at Anfield needing to emulate their greatest Champions League night - when they came from 3-0 down at half-time to beat AC Milan in the 2005 final.
