Liverpool faces a daunting task as they prepare to take on Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16. The Reds were defeated 5-2 at Anfield in the first leg, leaving them with a mountain to climb if they hope to secure a place in the quarter-finals. Despite the odds being stacked against them, Jurgen Klopp’s side will still believe that they can pull off an iconic comeback.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, will be looking to avoid any potential embarrassment and will likely be content with securing just one more goal to secure their place in the next round. The match is set to kick off at 8 pm, with both teams fielding strong lineups.
Liverpool’s starting XI includes Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, van Dijk, Konate, Robertson, Fabinho, Milner, Gakpo, Salah, Nunez, and Jota. Real Madrid’s lineup features Courtois, Carvajal, Militão, Rudiger, Nacho, Kroos, Modric, Camavinga, Valverde, Vinicius Jr, and Benzema.
