Liverpool have confirmed they will subsidise ticket prices for fans travelling to Barcelona for their Champions League semi-final first leg.

The Premier League leaders travel to the Nou Camp on May 1 after eliminating Porto on Wednesday, while Barcelona booked their place in the last four by beating Manchester United on Tuesday.

Barcelona are set to charge Liverpool fans £103 for away tickets, so the Reds have decided to charge Barca supporters the same amount for the second leg on May 7 and subsidise the price for their own fans by £27.

Paul Merson believes Virgil van Dijk and the pace of Liverpool's front three will be too much for Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals

That means that the cost of tickets for Liverpool fans - who have been handed an away allocation of 4,620 - will be £76 for the first-leg tie.

Man United also cut the cost of tickets for their fans travelling to the quarter-final second leg against Barcelona, claiming the Spanish club charged "excessive" prices.
