Real Madrid vs Liverpool FC LIVE! Champions League game stream, latest team news, lineups, TV, predictions
Jurgen Klopp takes his Liverpool side to Real Madrid and the Santiago Bernabeu tonight for a Champions League miracle. A 5-2 defeat at Anfield last month has given the Reds a mountain to climb as their inconsistent season continues to frustrate fans. While Klopp’s side have made big comebacks in this particular competition in the past, they rarely deal with newcomers.
Indeed, Madrid may lag behind Barcelona in LaLiga but are champions of the Champions League. Even when a tie seems to be going against them, something seems to bring them back to life. With his long Champions League experience, playing them at home has to be the toughest task for any team looking to advance.
Still, these are the two clubs most often involved in the most dramatic games possible on this stage. For this reason, you can hardly write anything. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog!
