Real Madrid v Liverpool prediction and team news: Who will win Champions League game?
Our predictions for Real Madrid v Liverpool in the Champions League, including who we think will win and predicted line-ups.
Liverpool know they need to pull off another Istanbul-style Champions League miracle against Real Madrid if they are to book their place in the quarter-finals.
Jurgen Klopp's men are 5-2 down from the first leg at Anfield, which saw Liverpool blow a 2-0 lead and capitulate against last year's Champions League winners.
However, if any side can turn the deficit around, it's Liverpool. The Reds came from 3-0 down in the 2005 final in Istanbul against AC Milan to win on penalties and they also turned around Barcelona's three-goal lead in the semi-finals at Anfield in 2019.
While Liverpool will have slight hope of pulling off the unexpected, they face the savvy Real Madrid, who have seen it all in the Champions League.
They beat the Reds 1-0 in the final last season to secure their 14th European Cup/Champions League success and their fifth triumph since 2014.

Real Madrid v Liverpool prediction
Liverpool need to attack on Wednesday night and that could lead to them netting a couple of times – however, they will also be open at the back against Real Madrid's free-flowing attack.
We should be in for goals in Madrid but we're siding with another narrow Real win to book their place in the Champions League quarter-finals.
