Match preview
A carbon copy of last year’s Champions League final takes place in the round of 16 at Anfield this Tuesday evening as Liverpool welcomes the European champions to Merseyside once again.
These two giants of European football have met each other plenty of times down the years, but it was Real who reigned supreme last season at the Stade de France thanks to a winner from Vinicius Junior. Thibaut Courtois also stole the show with a stunning display.
This time around, the two are in completely contrasting areas. Liverpool are out of the FA Cup and EFL Cup they had already secured just before last season’s Champions League final, while they are also in eighth in the Premier League.
Jurgen Klopp’s men did, however, get their biggest away win of the season over the past weekend, as Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo silenced the critics for now with a goal each in a 2-0 win over Newcastle.
Real are second in La Liga and trail Xavi’s record-breaking Barcelona by eight points after a 2-0 win over Girona.
Marco Asensio scored in the 92nd minute that day, as Federico Valverde also netted. The win has also extended Real’s unbeaten run to four since losing to Mallorca in La Liga.
