3 reasons why Liverpool will not win this year's Champions League

#2 Rome yet to be conquered

<p>
Roma stunned Barcelona with a remarkable comeback in the quarter-finals.

Having comfortably beaten AS Roma in the first leg, Liverpool appeared to be in the driving seat until they provided the visitors room to pull two straight away goals late on.

The 5-2 scoreline can be quashed, if the Italians manage to repeat their heroics from the quarter-final stage - having beaten Barcelona 3-0 after a 4-1 first leg deficit.

Klopp needs to ensure that his side score, at the very least, against Allison Becker when they travel to Rome next week. Liverpool's trip to the Ethiad would not have been so joyous if Sané's strike had not been wrongly disallowed at the cusp of half-time.

Roma would not be naively throwing players forward like City did at the quarter-final stage, as their approach is likely to be much more tactical and precise. Ultimately, Liverpool's place in next month's final is not yet guaranteed and never will be, until the final whistle.
