Real Madrid is gearing up to defend their three-goal advantage against Liverpool as they host the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
Three weeks after their 5-2 loss at Anfield, Liverpool will be looking to turn the tables and secure their place in the quarter-finals.
Despite Liverpool taking an early two-goal lead in the first leg, Real Madrid showed their resilience and fought back to secure an impressive victory. As a result, they are now favorites to clinch qualification to the next round of the competition.
In their domestic fixtures over the weekend, Liverpool were unable to build on their 7-0 win over Manchester United as they suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth. Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid secured another comeback victory against Espanyol on Saturday. After conceding an early goal, Vinicius Junior, Eder Militao, and Marco Asensio all scored to turn the game around.
The stage is set for an exciting encounter as Liverpool look to mount a comeback and Real Madrid aim to protect their lead and progress to the quarter-finals.
