Jurgen Klopp's team were battered in the first leg by Los Blancos and they have a three-goal deficit to overturn in one of the most feared venues across Europe.
However, if they can repeat their heroics of the first fifteen minutes at Anfield and continue in the same vein they will stand a chance of making a comeback.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid progressed 26 times out of 27 when they won the first leg of a Champions League tie away from home. However, they will not be complacent as Liverpool, on their day, can cause a ruckus against any team in the world.
Their arch-rivals Barcelona are well aware of that as it was a night to forget for them at Anfield in 2019 when they squandered a 3-0 lead in the 2019 semifinals.
