Liverpool have it all to do on Wednesday after the La Liga side’s emphatic 3-1 victory in the first leg last week. Vinicius Junior stole the show in the first leg after scoring a brace to open and close the scoring. Mohamed Salah’s second-half goal will offer the Reds a glimmer of hope but a small one at that.
Zinedine Zidane’s side will bounce into the game on Wednesday after El Classico victory against Barcelona on Saturday to help them close the gap on Atletico Madrid at the top of the table to just one point. Karim Benzema found himself back on the scoresheet after drawing a blank in the first-leg clash against the reds.

Although their previous Champions League home clash in the last 16 against RB Leipzig was held at a neutral venue Liverpool were able to cruise to a 2-0 victory.
Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane both missed the game against Liverpool last week and the El Classico on the weekend. Although there is no update on their pairs fitness yet, the duo’s absence did not affect the Madridistas in either of their two games over the last week.
