Liverpool shouldn't underestimate the capabilities of Roma and their experienced players

#3 Federico Fazio (Defender)

Federico Fazio will have the tough task of handling former Roma star Mohamed Salah

Remember him? The former Tottenham centre-back is having a fine campaign in the heart of the Giallorossi’s defence this season.

The 31-year-old Argentine has rediscovered his form in the Italian capital and will sit alongside the highly talented Greek international Kostas Manolas, whose goal knocked out Barcelona.

They have both played more games than any other defender in Serie A and the Champions League this season but will have the tough task of trying to stop the Reds formidable trio of Salah, Roberto Firmino, and Sadio Mane. At 6’5” and having won 77% of his aerial duels in the Champions League, the Reds will have to go around Fazio rather than over him.
