Liverpool have started their journey to Rome ahead of a potentially historic semi-final against Roma on Wednesday.
Mohamed Salah and Co rolled into Melwood on Tuesday morning as they squad gathered ahead of their flight to Italy.
The Reds blew away their opposition at Anfield in the first leg, racing to a 5-0 lead before two late goals from the visitors left the door ever-so-slightly ajar for what would be an incredible comeback at the Stadio Olimpico.

Jurgen Klopp will hope his men have enough firepower to see off the plucky Italians, but will have to do so without his trusted lieutenant.
Klopp gathered his players on Sunday morning to inform them that Zeljko Buvac, his long-term confidant dubbed ‘The Brain’, would be absent for the rest of the season, owing to a ‘private matter’.
The club will be desperately hoping to make their first Champions League showpiece since 2007, with either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich set to be their opponent.
The Reds gave themselves every chance to do that last week with the emphatic win during a magical night on Merseyside.
Fan trouble, however, potentially marred what was otherwise a perfect night for Klopp and his men.
