Jürgen Klopp has picked four attackers to his starting Eleven against Real Madrid in the Champions League
Liverpool face Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, hoping for a miracle in Spain’s capital.
Jurgen Klopp’s team was trounced 5-2 in the first leg of the Champions League match at Anfield three weeks ago, despite being two goals ahead early in the first half.
While Real Madrid is in the lead in La Liga, Los Blancos have struggled at home.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side is nine points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona, having failed to win any of the three domestic matches since the Anfield victory.
While Klopp’s team has a history of staging tremendous comebacks, advancing to the quarter-finals would necessitate a massive Real Madrid capitulation.
