Let's not forget that Liverpool wants to beat Real Madrid since last season, especially player Mo Salah is very anxious, in these times they have all the possible opportunities, it depends on them if they can materialize it, but Real Madrid is Real Madrid, Beating them is not just anything, everyone wants to beat them but few succeed
Liverpool failed many matches against Real Madrid especially two Champions League final matches. Therefore they actually want to beat Real Madrid than any club in Europe. Unfortunately, they failed to do it in the first leg even they got two early goals. At the end of that match, they got a big loss against Real Madrid and worse it happened at their home stadium. This loss at home makes their chance in the second leg it mostly zero.
What happens is that everything points to Potter being the culprit, the team's owners can claim that they have the best players, even the ones he himself asked to form a better team, he was the team that bought the most players in this transfer window They have spent many millions of Eur and the results have not yet been seen, they have allowed themselves to be won and in shameful ways
Things with Chelsea and Potter are like this, the club picked an inappropriate coach for them and the coach made a bad decision to take that job which is out of his experience and capability to handle it well.
Good players need good coach who can unite those players in good tactics to maximize ability of each player and reduce or cover weakness as much as possible. Potter did not complete this important task in Chelsea and the winter transfer could not help him to improve the club performance and save his coach position.
Real Madrid is not under any pressure now. If they can play their usual game then they will win against Liverpool. Although it is not easy to predict whether Liverpool will win or lose this season, the chances of Liverpool winning at home to Real Madrid are very low. Unless something unimaginable happens, it is very natural to say that Real Madrid will play the next round.
maybe it would be different if the team Liverpool played against was not Madrid. surely Liverpool will have the opportunity to catch up with the goal. but facing Madrid at home, it's definitely not going to be easy for Liverpool. chasing a 3 goal difference, with his best performance it will also be difficult to win at home to Madrid without conceding.
unless the drama against United gets repeated.
In the last few seasons Liverpool has continued to have bad luck against Madrid, Liverpool failures in the Champions League have often been in Madrid hands, just like this season even though Liverpool still have a chance to qualify but to score 3 goals at the Bernabeu is not easy, big wins against Manchester United considered a revival of liverpool but in fact liverpool performance slumped again when facing the relegation team in the league, I think liverpool might win at the bernabeu but not to qualify for the next round of the champions league.
Well, I don't know how Liverpool have to do it, but they have to knock back 3 goals against Real Madrid, and the truth is that Real Madrid plays very well when it comes to the UCL, their fútbol is much more aggressive and quite effective, I don't know but It seems that all the players grow more in the competition because in the League, even though they have a good score, I don't see the same heart in them, especially against Barcelona, who can't beat them, I don't understand it, but against Liverpool it's not that have the game safe because anything can happen, Mo Salah can surprise, we have to wait with what fútbol Liverpool comes up with.
