In order to prepare for their Champions League second-leg match against Real Madrid, Liverpool players were put to the test on Tuesday afternoon
As Liverpool got ready for their Champions League round of 16 second-leg match against Real Madrid on Tuesday, there were three noteworthy absences.
The Reds are hoping to reverse the 5-2 result from the first meeting between the two teams, which the reigning European champions won thanks to braces from Vinicius Jr. and Karim Benzema.
Los Blancos recovered from behind to win after two quick goals from Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah, who was in the ideal spot to capitalize on Thibaut Courtois’ error. Eder Militao also scored for Los Blancos.

The Liverpool captain started the match on the bench but was brought on in the second half after the Spaniard was sacrificed.
Since being benched against Real Madrid in the first leg, Liverpool defender Joe Gomez has resumed first-team practice. He will compete for a starting spot with Joel Matip and Ibrahima Konate, but he offers a much-needed defensive boost if the Reds’ injury woes recur. This afternoon, Nat Phillips also made a comeback.

As the Liverpool weather left its mark on the January arrival, Cody Gakpo was seen cowering. It looks that the attacker wasn’t really pleased with the weather in mid-March after settling in during the past few weeks.
