Athletistic will broadcast a live online text broadcast: Soccer. Champions League. 1/8 final. Liverpool – Real. Direct
Jurgen Klopp’s side finished second in Group A behind Italy’s Napoli, while the Madrid side edged out Celtic, Shakhtar and RB Leipzig to take top spot in Group F.
While Vinicius Junior’s game-winning goal and Thibaut Courtois’ sensational save streak dominated last year’s Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid, the Stade de France battle will forever be overshadowed by heartbreaking scenes with Reds supporters outside the stadium when they weren’t allowed to play. and the police used tear gas.
There have been baseless allegations from authorities that fans arriving with fake tickets caused a stampede which even caused the game to start late, but an independent report has since exonerated Liverpool supporters, insisting that “primary responsibility” lies with UEFA. And now we are waiting for a new confrontation between the teams.
Very few clubs can claim to have beaten Napoli this season, but only goal difference separated the two sides in the Group A standings: Liverpool scored 15 points from a possible 18, winning five in a row after a humiliating defeat by 1:4 in Naples in the first round.
Premier League wins over Everton and Newcastle mean a top-four finish is within the realm of possibility for Liverpool, who appear to be resurrecting after a disastrous start to the season.
Klopp’s side have only been knocked out of the Champions League Round of 16 for the past five years, losing to Real Madrid’s closest neighbours, Atlético Madrid, in the season 2019-20. Liverpool’s unbeaten streak at Anfield is now seven games, but at the same time one cannot fail to note the pitiful statistics of the Merseysiders in the clash with the Royal Club. They can’t win in their last 6 games, Real Madrid are Liverpool’s most uncomfortable opponents in European competition.
