[Darwin Nunez](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/darwin-nunez/) opened the scoring with a ruthless strike and [Cody Gakpo](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/cody-gakpo/) doubled the advantage to round off a lovely team move. [Newcastle](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/newcastle/), with two Reds writers assessing the victory and looking ahead to Real Madrid. It is a huge boost that we are hitting a little run of form at just the right time, but Madrid is going to be a big step up for us and Anfield needs to be at its best if we are to give ourselves a decent result to take to Spain. [Alisson](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/alisson/), there would be a hell of a lot more focus on the defence today. [Brentford](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/brentford/), he has comfortably been our outstanding performer this season and I dread to think what the [Premier League](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/premier-league) table would look like without him. It was, however, a breath of fresh air just to see Van Dijk back on the football pitch again, and hopefully, that will give us the solid base that we will need to kick on from defensively. [Luis Diaz](https://www.thisisanfield.com/liverpool-fc/luis-diaz/) coming back is going to really accentuate that – our best attacking player prior to the injury. For the first time all season, we really seem to be building some proper momentum, and with some huge games around the corner and a couple coming back from injuries, there is absolutely no reason why we can’t start to believe that it’s all still on the table for us. I thought it was gone a couple of weeks ago and it feels like some sort of disturbance in the force that we’re now only six points away with a game in hand.

The Spanish midfielder is set to be missing for a 'while' with a hip injury and will not be playing against Real Madrid. He would almost certainly not have played a minute against Real Madrid anyway, but could have been useful, for sure, across the rest of the season — after his surgery, though, he will not be in action again until the summer.

Liverpool and Real Madrid meet in a repeat of last year's final and the standout match of the round of 16.

It faces Eintracht Frankfurt away on Tuesday on the back of a five-game winning run. So much so that, up until the past week, winning the Champions League looked like its best chance of qualifying for next season’s competition. But City has looked strong in the Champions League, cruising through the group stages and is the overwhelming favorite to win when it travels to RB Leipzig on Wednesday.

Darwin Nunez is doubtful for Liverpool's Champions League clash with Real Madrid on Tuesday after picking up a shoulder injury.

Darwin Nunez found the back of the net against Newcastle United but he had to be taken off in the 59th minute with a shoulder injury. Jurgen Klopp will have to be really careful with his team selection because the La Liga side won’t care if they are playing at home or at Anfield. Liverpool are unbeaten in their previous five home games but the Los Blancos haven’t lost to Liverpool in their last 6 meetings.

Real Madrid also have the better strikeforce with Karim Benzema flanked by Valverde and Vinicius. In terms of defense, it’s clear that Real Madrid are better. They scored just Under three goals per game in the group stage, and For that reason, I’d lean towards backing Over 2.5 goals here, but at those odds, it isn’t a wager that I’ll be taking personally. The battle to control the tempo of this game is where the match will be won, and Real Madrid should come out on top. Alisson and Courtois are two brilliant goalkeepers, and in truth, the Liverpool keeper might just have a slight edge. In midfield, we’ll see the duo of Kroos and Modric partner Camavinga. Real Madrid You can’t discount Liverpool, but Real Madrid with their incredible pedigree look like the smarter play — especially at odds of +210. Meanwhile, Real Madrid won Group F by fewer points than Liverpool finished second in their group. This is the perfect chance for revenge for Liverpool in front of a packed Anfield crowd, but when it comes to betting our hard-earned money, it’s very difficult to put it behind Klopp’s team when they’ve been so wildly inconsistent. Liverpool have only won three of their last nine in all competitions, losing four of those and drawing another two. Liverpool finished second in Group A with their inferior goal difference handing Napoli the top spot.

Liverpool host Spanish giants Real Madrid at Anfield in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night. We look at the Opta supercomputer's prediction and ...

The total goals scored by Liverpool in the 2022-23 competition (17) is below that of only Benfica (18) Bayern Munich (19) and Napoli (20). No player has been involved in more for the club in 2022-23, with his total four more than Karim Benzema (20 – 16 goals, four assists). The Belgian made nine saves against Liverpool in this game, the most on record by a goalkeeper in a single UEFA Champions League final (since 2003-04). The Opta supercomputer predicts that Liverpool will defeat Real Madrid at Anfield on Tuesday night, giving them a 42.8% chance of doing so. Salah’s seven goals in six UCL appearances are only one fewer than he’s managed in 22 Premier League games this season (eight), but he’ll have to improve his scoring record against Spanish clubs in the competition. After losing their opening match of the 2022-23 UEFA Champions League campaign (4-1 vs Napoli), Liverpool have won each of their last five European matches. Vinícius Júnior was Real Madrid’s hero in the 1-0 UCL final win over Liverpool last May. This was Klopp’s third UCL final loss – the most of any manager, while only Juventus (five) have lost more Champions League finals than Liverpool (three). The Reds haven’t won any of their last six meetings with Real Madrid, drawing one and losing five of these games – this is their longest ever run of winless games against a single opponent in the history of the European Cup/Champions League. Real will be making their fourth trip to Anfield to face Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League. This is a big shift from the early European meetings between these two clubs, with Liverpool winning each of their first three matches versus Real Madrid between 1981 and 2009. Liverpool host Spanish giants Real Madrid at Anfield in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.

If any team can rival Madrid's ability to produce the unexpected in European club soccer's most prized competition, it is Liverpool.

The young players coming through are going to be better and the older players are still doing it.” Madrid also beat Liverpool in the final of 2018 and won when the sides met in the quarterfinals two years ago. “In the ground they turn up for their team. “This Real Madrid team is actually better than the team that won it last year, I believe. There was the famous comeback from 3-0 down against AC Milan in the 2005 final before going on to win on penalties. “It’s a huge club. “I covered every one of those games and I still don’t know how they won it.

"We played a good game and could have won the game. However, Karim Benzema is set to return after his absence at the weekend. That he's doing something on the pitch which could cause what kind of things are happening to him? I have no problem with that because if you don't play your best you don't have a chance - Real Madrid don't have to play their best and still have a chance!

Fulham finished (Brighton 0-1 Fulham): Fulham were out-shot 21-5 (seven on target), out-xG’d 2.20-0.31 and out-possessed 65-35, and not one bit of it mattered. On the flip side, Thomas Frank accounted for two of the celebratory limbs as Brentford extended their unbeaten run to 11 PL games (5W-6D) amid an unlikely European push. Nick Pope loses plot but Liverpool still needs help from Alisson (Newcastle 0-2 Liverpool): This may sounds like a silly takeaway from a 2-0 away win for a Liverpool team craving positive praise, but the Reds shouldn’t feel back to their best after looking anything but comfortable up a man and two goals for more than an hour. Man City grounded at the City Ground (Nottingham Forest 1-1 Man City): A let down looked possible if not likely for Man City following their huge midweek defeat of Arsenal, but Bernardo Silva’s goal seemed to send forth better vibes that the side’s return to the top of the table would be accompanied by title-winning performances. Gunners snap out of skid (late), aren’t going away (Villa 2-4 Arsenal): Arsenal looked like they would cough up points in this game but they never stopped believing and found a way to win it. Fantastic Five hold keys to Man Utd’s glory chase (Man Utd 3-0 Leicester): They are still going for four trophies this season and Manchester United’s unlikely bid to win all four is fueled by the excellent form of David De Gea in goal, Lisandro Martinez in defense, Casemiro in midfield, and Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes combining in attack. The Dyche difference (Everton 1-0 Leeds): Leeds came to Goodison Park ready to fight, literally and figuratively, but that wasn’t a problem for the previously moribund Toffees. If the Chelsea owners are truly going to stick with Potter for the long run, they are now very close to the stage where they will have to write this season off. Okay, he wasn’t singing but when asked about Chelsea’s fans calling for him to be fired following their defeat to Southampton (they have now won just two of their last 14 Premier League games) here was his response: “I am sure there will be people out there who think that I’m the problem. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is happy his team are facing Real now as back-to-back victories against Everton and Newcastle have given them renewed confidence they can finish in the top four of the Premier League.

The Brazil star is devastatingly quick and has added goals to his game, netting 38 times since the start of last season after never previously passing 10 in a season for Real.

Rafa Benitez, who led Liverpool to two Champions League finals, winning one, casts his eye over both sides and picks out where he feels the tie will be won ...

Real’s advantage in the past was having more experience in important European games but Liverpool have a lot of players like that now. In March 2009, when we played at Anfield after winning in the Bernabeu, we destroyed them in the first 20 minutes. They will start with real intensity, pushing and pushing to regain the ball high. They will offer balance to the midfield and that will be difficult for Liverpool to deal with. In their absence, Dani Ceballos and Fede Valverde will be even more key for Real.

"We have these two results and hopefully we can build on that but we need to play a super game, we need to play two super games, to be honest, to get through. However, Karim Benzema is set to return after his absence at the weekend. Vinicius has scored three goals in his last three meetings with Liverpool, and ahead of their latest meeting, Klopp was asked whether the player's actions on the pitch were antagonistic. "We played a good game and could have won the game. That he's doing something on the pitch which could cause what kind of things are happening to him? "This is that team, the competition and you can learn from them, definitely. I have no problem with that because if you don't play your best you don't have a chance - Real Madrid don't have to play their best and still have a chance! Here, it was a really good 0-0, we let them work hard and that was good. There's a history in the last few years. "But this is now, same clubs, different teams, different times. Before that, we played there on the training ground and here in an empty stadium. "I'm really happy we can play now, four weeks ago it would have been different, but life is all about timing.
