Then we look at the tactics....Liverpool have faltered in the league because mist teams have played them with a defensive set up, capitalising on Liverpool fragility at the back. The difference is that every team in the Champions league is a top team and plays expansive football, playing into Liverpool's hands as we saw in the Leipzig game. Klopp has lost only one two-legged European tie with liverpool since 2017 and that was against a very defensive Atletico Madrid team. So, if you a betting man, best to not put your money against Liverpool
Being a Liverpool fan myself, I wouldn't say it's a wise option to place a bet on Liverpool to win either. The last couple of weeks have been kinda tough despite our back to back wins in the round of 16 against an unfortunate Leipzig team. But on the plus side, Real Madrid isn't the kind of team you'd pick as team of the year because their results too have not been so good. I want to believe in my team but I won't want to be sentimental with my bias. To be honest, any of the two teams have a shot at winning the tie. No underdogs, just two top teams trying to get back to winning ways.
