Liverpool must catch up to a 3-goal deficit from Madrid, it is quite a difficult job for the Reds. But Liverpool has good experience, Liverpool made a pretty great comeback in the 2005 champions league final where at that time Steven Gerrard was able to defeat AC Milan. Next, when they turned things around against Barcelona in the 2019 Champions League semifinals. Liverpool, who lost 0-3 at Camp Nou then turned around to win 4-0 at Anfield. But can the historical record be repeated? I don't think so, this season the Liverpool squad is very much different from the two editions mentioned above. This season, Klopp's team have absolutely no fighting power in every competition they have participated in. I think it's better for Klopp to save his energy to focus on the Premier League instead of having to fight in vain in the Champions League.

Frankfurt have squad problems and Napoli don't have any problems in the national league (18 points over second place lol) but have a lot of motivation to show themselves in Europe. I think a draw is out of the question - Napoli will win. They have a 2 goal advantage and on paper (and as we have seen in fact) they are stronger than Frankfurt so why would they defend bleak zeros when they can win the game?

You don't have to doubt Real Madrid in the Champions League, I hope you have the best reasons when you say Liverpool can narrowly beat us today.
I can't imagine losing, it's a game we have to win no matter what. No one will underestimate Liverpool, but Real Madrid just need to realize that winning will make the team better mentally and form.

I was expecting a 3-1 win for Real Madrid, so no defeat I was expecting even if Liverpool had chances to score.

Lol, but please - this is football, mate. Every team can lose and win, but I'm sorry because actually I really wanted my team to win this big match and defend the title.

Opportunities for Liverpool are very slim. in fact they have been behind by many goals in the first leg. so it's natural for anyone to doubt Liverpool in the second leg match. I initially wanted to skip this match and would focus on watching the Napoli vs Frankfurt match. but I'll probably change because somehow I've become even more curious to watch it.

Real Madrid - Liverpool

well, this will undoubtedly be a great game, despite real madrid having won in the first leg by a big difference in points, in this game real madrid needs to focus on winning too, because a victory brings more tranquility in the team, since we have seen situations where a team won in the first leg and even though they managed to score a lot of goals in the first leg they lost in the second leg and conceded a lot of goals, real madrid has already been through this type of situation where in the first leg they lost and reversed all in the second leg they won, so today they shouldn't underestimate the opponent. liverpool comes into this game with a defeat in the premier league and their performance was bad, meanwhile real madrid comes into this game with a victory in la liga, i think real madrid has a good chance of winning in this game

Napoli - Eintracht Frankfurt

this is also a very interesting game to watch, it's a pity that the two champions league games will be at the same time, if they were at different times I could watch both games, well napoli comes to this game to defend the result and knowing that napoli is at the top of serie A and will have a very important game in serie A against torino, i think they will choose to stay more in defense than in attack, looking at Eintracht's unstable performance in the bundesliga but in european competitions surprise, I think this game will be a draw

I’m not going to watch Real vs LFC tonight. Anybody who knows me will know how big of an LFC fan I am. I’ve been all over Europe watching the Reds. I just can’t watch tonight, we got really humiliated in the 1st leg. I just don’t see us laying a glove on Real tonight. Going to save myself from being upset and sit this one out. Put your house on Real to advance to the 1/4 final. This version of LFC aren’t going to cause Real any problems.

Napoli have won six of their last seven games, conceding just one goal in the process. The Italian club have shown excellent defensive and offensive play. They are confidently heading for the long-awaited Scudetto. Eintracht have been unstable of late. They have not won four games in a row.

In my opinion, there will be no surprises in this game. "Napoli are in great form and have an advantage over their opponents in every respect. I don't think the Germans will be able to score in this game.

Jurgen Klopp will definitely play more pressing in this match, an attacking strategy is the most likely scheme to apply because playing defense is also not profitable for Liverpool in this match. Real Madrid's advantage in the first leg will make it very difficult for Liverpool to get up, let alone having a 5-2 aggregate and another advantage for Real Madrid who are playing at home with full support.

Real Madrid has a complete squad in this match while Liverpool have lost many main players due to injury, so Real Madrid's chances will be bigger and very favorite to win and in my opinion the game will not end in a draw.

It will take a miracle for Liverpool to qualify because they might not be able to overturn the goal deficit. I feel the goal difference is too much and the game will be played in Madrid which means the fans will be supportive. Liverpool's performance in the EPL is not also encouraging making me doubt their ability to win today's game. Both teams have good coaches so we might also see a technical battle.

Napoli's current form might make them very hard to be defeated except their are some blunders or red cards. Frankfurt might not have the tenancy to penetrate the Napoli defense and the Napoli attack is unstoppable.

I think this is exactly the situation we are in.  For Liverpool and Frankfurt, they may have probably come to the end of the road.  They still played very well in this tournament.  While teams such as Barcelona and Juventus could not even get out of the groups, even Frankfurt's success is very good.  If they don't make a big surprise, they will play their last game in the champions league today.

I have filled in the multibet for the last 2 matches of today's second leg and I think there really is no chance at all for Liverpool to beat Real Madrid at home. If later Liverpool scores the first goal then the same thing will be repeated, namely Real Madrid will comeback until the final minute, so the opportunity to dominate at home to Real Madrid feels like a passing wind. Even so, an aggregate difference of 3 points is indeed very impossible for any team, especially if the opponent that must be faced is Real Madrid, which is the winner of the most UCL titles.

Most people would say no to Liverpool and no to Frankfurt either. I think they know what the reason is for doubting Liverpool and Frankfurt to qualify for the quarter-finals, but about Liverpool and Frankfurt winning it is still possible.

Liverpool can win the second leg by pressing from the start, the same goes for Frankfurt. But in reality Real Madrid and Napoli are teams that are really difficult to beat and they are really able to get out of the pressure to develop their game. I think it is true and it will be real that Napoli and Madrid will qualify for the quarter-finals.

Anybody expect a surprise today seriously? After first leg results I think it's clear. Real Madrid and Napoli will advance to quarter final. Both teams play at home and it would be a miracle for away teams to score 3+ and advance. Unless something extraordinary happen like early red card and penalty etc. I think Real and Napoli are good to go. They might even start thinking about the draw for quarter final in their heads.

Anyway, Real Madrid is a team that always targets the title every season but in reality, sometimes the results don't turn out as expected and that has happened this season for La Liga and also for the Copa del Rey. But even so, of course Real Madrid will continue to strive to be able to win a title this season from one of the existing titles.
One of them is in the Champions League and indeed, to win it is not easy because to win a title from the most prestigious tournament certainly has a difficult obstacle.

Therefore, Real Madrid will also remain focused on the domestic league, so that in this second leg Real Madrid will not be forced to win. After all, even though Real Madrid lost 2-0, in fact Real Madrid will still qualify for the quarter-finals.

The last minutes of the Porto - Inter game was very exciting by the way. Porto attacked their opponent with everything they had but it wasn't still enough to carry the game to extra time.

Porto's two goal attempts in the last moments hit the goal post as far as I can remember. Inter had a really hard time defending them in those minutes but they made it anyway. I was expecting to see a 1-1 draw at the end of this game honestly. At least I predicted the draw.    Porto increased their attempts a lot and they started to control the game in the second half. But I was still believing in Inter to keep them away from capturing an advantage. Maybe Porto were a challenging team to beat but Inter were still one step ahead of them.

There are times when Ancelotti is not satisfied with the team from time to time. but a 5-2 win was a pretty good result for the first match. Ancelotti knows how critical this match is for the next round, so he will not leave anything to chance. Liverpool should take a lot of risks, I think for this qualifying match, as teams can solve each other and score a goal. Over 2.5 replays could happen because Liverpool have no choice but to score.

In this case, maybe the bookmakers see something else, such as the possibility that Madrid will play safer and aim for a draw in this match with only a focus on defending to keep Liverpool from scoring goals.
However, the current aggregate is comfortable enough for them and they don't need to bother to win this match.
The most important thing is that they don't concede more than 3 goals, that's enough for Madrid at the moment.

Liverpool will take a lot of risk and play offense in this match.  As a natural consequence of this, I think they will leave a lot of empty space behind.  Real Madrid, on the other hand, is built with players who will result in such openings with goals and will not forgive the slightest mistakes.  I expect Real Madrid to score many goals in this match again.

Everyone always has assumptions about the team they have seen so far including the Real Madrid team and until now Real Madrid is still very concerned about La Liga, the Copa Del Rey and also the Champions League so that Real Madrid will continue to try their best to win trophies in end of this season.

Even though currently in La Liga Real Madrid have lagged behind Barcelona and also in the Copa Del Rey Real Madrid are left with a thin aggregate over Barcelona. But for the Champions League I'm sure Real Madrid will qualify for the next round if Real Madrid only narrowly lose today to Liverpool.

In fact, this is a random game with three outcomes. Moreover, Real are satisfied with all three results, but on the condition that the defeat will be no more than with a difference of two goals. So you can expect anything. A lot will depend on who scores first - if it is Real Madrid, it seems to me that Liverpool will fall apart completely and it is unlikely that they will even spend all their strength to recoup.
