In the early hours of this Tuesday, the 21st, fans of Liverpool got together at two in the morning to make a firework in front of the hotel where the players of the Real Madrid. The idea would be to keep the athletes of the Spanish club awake at night before one way game among the teams in round of 16 from the Champions Leaguein Anfield.
Recurrent practice in South America, this time it was the Europeans who got into the decision mood and wanted to disrupt the opponent before the most important match of the season for both teams, so far. In addition, English fans are worried, as Real’s favoritism is much greater.
The fireworks were made to try to distract the Real Madrid players and thus arrive more tired in the match that takes place at 17:00 (Brasília time). In addition, Liverpool’s season does not instill confidence in its fans, even if they have won the last two games and arrive at the duel with less pressure.

Despite the opposing moment of the two teams, a great match is expected and that promises a lot of emotion for all who watch, being one of the great confrontations of this phase of the competition.
