Official Real Madrid’s XI Vs Liverpool In Champions League Clash Tonight Revealed

Champions League’s most successful sides go head-to-head tonight when Liverpool hosts the title holder Real Madrid at Anfield.

The two giants of European soccer meet in a repeat of last year’s final and the standout match of the round of 16.

While Liverpool and Real Madrid share 20 Champions League titles between them, Manchester City continues its quest to win the trophy for the first time and Napoli has emerged as a surprise contender after an outstanding start to the season.

Liverpool has the chance to avenge the 1-0 loss to Real in the final in Paris last May and goes into the first leg in much-improved form after back-to-back wins against Everton and Newcastle in the Premier League.

It has been a season of struggle for a team that was competing for an unprecedented quadruple of trophies last year. So much so that, up until the past week, winning the Champions League looked like its best chance of qualifying for next season’s competition.

But there have been encouraging signs in those morale-boosting wins that leave Jürgen Klopp’s team just six points off the top four and a Champions League qualifying spot.

Real Madrid is aiming to be crowned champion of Europe for a record extending 15th time and is fresh from winning the Club World Cup earlier this month. But it faces a fight to hold onto its Spanish league title, with Barcelona leading the way at the top of the standings.
