Liverpool come into the game after a hard fought 2-1 victory over Aston Villa in the Premier League, with Trent Alexander-Arnold scoring the winner in the 90th minute. Liverpool need to show character and strength as soon as the game begins, as Real Madrid are lethal in attacking and controlling the dynamics of the game.
Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1 in the El Clasico ahead of the second leg against Liverpool, with Karim Benzema and Toni Kroos scoring brilliant goals to give the Los Blancos much needed momentum ahead of facing Liverpool. The first leg was headlined by the brilliance of Vinicius Jr., who scored a brace along with a Marco Asensio goal. However, Zinedine Zidane should be wary of the away goal, scored by Mohammed Salah in the first leg.
