Liverpool take on the visitors Real Madrid in the first leg of UEFA Champions League 1/8-finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, February 21st at Anfield (Liverpool).
Liverpool messed up the final part of last season, ending the Champions League with a defeat in the final and failing to catch up with Manchester City in the Premier League. Nevertheless, they managed to have a bright 2021/2022, taking a couple of cups and demonstrating clear progress compared to previous setbacks. However, currently Klopp and his team are falling apart more than ever before at Anfield. Yes, there is a victory in the English Super Cup, but there have been mainly failures after that. They have been eliminated from both cups and, most importantly, have had terrible statistics in the Premier League, where the grand club is stuck in the middle of the table. There is definitely no talk of the title - they would simply have to fight for fourth place. However, it seems that the only chance to stay in the Champions League is to win the current one. But in the group stage, in the fall, there was a big defeat to Napoli, and only then a series of victories followed.

Real Madrid are in a rather difficult situation. No, they also took a couple of trophies, but the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup are not what the Whites can be proud of, it is already a classic mandatory program. Rather, what is remembered is that a month ago it was 1-3 against Barcelona in the decisive match for the Spanish Super Cup. Let another dispute continue, in the Copa del Rey, where another dispute with Blaugrana is not excluded in the end. The main thing is that Xavi's wards have pulled away in La Liga. Yes, the Catalans themselves are good, but it was the Anceletti's players who won the El Clasico in the winter. After that the Whites managed to lose a lot of points, and the only hope is that now Barca will suddenly lose shape. Well, and to save the season through the Champions League. In the last draw, Carlo and his players took another Champions League title. But then, whether it was with PSG, Chelsea, or especially Manchester City, the Spaniards could have been eliminated every time. Well, and in the fall, they had too weak opponents. And it did not pass without problems, especially away. With Shakhtar, they managed to get a draw in the 95th minute, in the last attack, and in Germany it all ended 3-2 in favor of RB Leipzig.
Before last year's final, Real Madrid was also successful in head-to-head matches. In the last six personal meetings, the Royal club had five victories with only one draw. Still, a small advantage, but still given to the English, who play at home. But for now, it is difficult to understand how this unstable pair will perform. We recommend limiting the option to total over 3.0 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
