Liverpool vs Real Madrid: Storylines
Liverpool have struggled throughout the Premier League 2020/21, but they started to recover in the last rounds. Still, they were left far away from the top spots, fighting only for a UCL berth. The Reds aren’t safe at the current Champions League either, as the defeat suffered at Madrid left them on the verge ofelimination. There are 90 minutes remaining, though, which seem to be Liverpool’s last opportunity to bounce back this season.
On the other hand, Real Madrid head to this match full of confidence, despite they are dealing with the absences of Sergio Ramos – with injury – and Raphael Varane – who tested positive to Covid. The Merengues claimed a significant advantage at home and even defeated archrivals Barcelona to keep on fighting for the domestic trophy. Zidane’s squad is only steps away from progressing to the semi-finals, but they have to be careful at Anfield, where the hosts have already recorded unforgettable comebacks, like the highly-remembered one over Barcelona in 2019.
In knockout stages, Real Madrid advanced in 15 of their last 16 series in which they won the first leg by at least two goals. Meanwhile, the Spaniards have beaten the Reds in the last four games in which they faced, including the 2018 Champions League final.
