Up coming second leg match UEFA Champion League between Real Madrid vs Liverpool, both team difference result on domestic league this week and Real Madrid seems advantage after winning and Liverpool have bad capital losing last match in domestic league. Liverpool have difficult mission away there because losing 2-5 on first leg need to win above three goals if want qualify to quarter final.
Head to head both team Real Madrid always dominance on several matches, not only winning on first leg but also last twice Champion League final Liverpool always loss from Real Madrid.
My issue with Liverpool is that they are sometimes out of the conversation; they might perform well today and then play poorly the following day. They came back with a good clean sheet as they did with Manchester United after the 7 to nil match they played, only to lose to Bournemouth and Salah missing a penalty, this is a small team they could have used to bring more confidence in the team, but after that, I don't expect them to reach the quarter finals in this league.
Real Madrid won the first leg 5-2. And so they will not try to win today's match. They will try to qualify for the quarter-finals. Real Madrid is an experienced team. And coach Ancelotti is very tactical. His aim is to keep performance stable. and qualify for the quarter-finals. So my guess is that Real Madrid will play a defensive strategy in today's match. They will draw this match. Their aim will be to counter Liverpool's players. And Madrid's defense is very strong. If Real Madrid plays a defensive strategy today, Liverpool's chances of victory are very low.
So because they had 3 goals ahead of Liverpool, Real Madrid will relent on that? Didn't you see the aggregate of the Real Madrid match last season from PSG, Chelsea, and Manchester City, that was what they relied on until Real Madrid win all the stages till the final. They are experienced as you said, but they wouldn't sleep on that first initial goals, I expect more in the second leg.
