Anyone who had seen the chances of them winning will lose such hope at seeing their result today against Bournemouth.
A club that just succeeded in humiliating a well-known Epl team with a. silencing winning could not at least score a single goal in a match against a team in the relegation arena.
But that notwithstanding, I don't lose hope on them in their champion league returning leg as I believe the same miracle that happened against Liverpool may still happen against real Madrid

Of course Real Madrid are favorites to qualify after winning with a three goal margin at Anfield in the first leg. However, I'm still maintaining my thought that if Liverpool can score first at the Santiago Bernabeu by mid-week they might go on to shock Real Madrid in their own turf and I'm saying this inspite of Liverpool's loss to relegation-battling Bournemouth. If they can play the same way they played against Manchester United last weekend in the Spanish capital, then we all might experience another historic champions league night .

The change in performance that has occurred at Liverpool is very clear. the previous week they beat a strong team, namely Manchester United with a very large score. and this week they have to lose to an ordinary team that should be much weaker than Manchester United. I don't know what went wrong with Liverpool. which made them lose their form very clearly in just one week. Liverpool's inconsistency really really disappointed me. and everyone who bets for Liverpool must feel the same way. so that Real Madrid should indeed win easily in the second leg later and ensure that Real Madrid passes to the next stage.

They have a fairly high aggregate, the difference of 3 goals is indeed quite difficult for Liverpool to pass, especially when they will play at home to Real Madrid. But I'm not saying if it is impossible. Maybe they have a chance and anything can happen in the world of football. looking from several sides, on paper, this will be very difficult for Liverpool to turn things around. Here I have doubts, especially with their condition and performance this season, which is really bad and has greatly decreased compared to last season.

They may have disappointed many of us today because we expected more from them in today's game. If they can lose to Bournemouth, they have no chance against Real Madrid in the Santiago Bernabeau stadium. Since they appeared to switch forms, let's see if they take on Real Madrid and make it difficult for them to pass through them in their second leg match.

I also can't imagine Liverpool defeat today in Premier League, because also on paper they should have won but they really disappointing. I think no reason to lose against from a weak team, because previously they could also win by a big score. I'll agree with you Real Madrid at home this team very strong and can beat Liverpool once again, also statistically Liverpool have a bad record they haven't been able to win against Real Madrid so far after their last win in 2009.

Problems may be in the top 8 now because we know Bayern always have big problems in this phase and last season it was also a bit unlucky for them to be knocked out in this phase when they faced a club that was not really a favorite and only a dark horse.
Now it is clear that the conditions for the remaining clubs are getting tougher, and this could also be a real obstacle for Bayern in the future.

Anything is possible, but the volatility in the case of Manchester City is rather a rare phenomenon compared to other teams in the English Premier League. So there may be more improvement than the fans expect, including us, but I am more than confident that they will win this match and go to the quarterfinals.

Their winning conditions against Manchester United in the end could not make their condition fully improve and this week they lost to Bournemouth which was quite surprising, and with this result it is proof that Liverpool still has not fully improved despite an increase in performance for the domestic league.
I personally will still be in Madrid in this match, but that doesn't mean the match won't be interesting, it's just that I think the winner has been determined since the first leg ended.

I would argue against that it was a "form", Liverpool had a finals years ago, had finals last year, and won one UCL in between as well.

It is just the fact that they are having a bad season and sometimes that happens, not every team needs to have a great season at all times, I agree that Real has been great at UCL most of the time but even we saw them play and games, hell last years team that won it was also the team that lost to Sheriff as well, so let's not act as if every team plays great just because they are a good team, sometimes they have bad days and Liverpool had one of those days. I hope second game is a bit more close and looks to be equal powers at least.

In fact, after their first leg, Real Madrid were already the favorites to qualify for the quarter-finals. It doesn't matter if they lose or not as long as their loss is not more than 2 goals then they will really be in the quarter-finals. Liverpool are still showing the same thing, last week they won by a landslide and this week they lost to a team that was no better than the team they beat before. I can't stop thinking about them now.

I don't see any chance of Liverpool winning the second leg at all. Because Liverpool were badly beaten in the first leg. As a result, Real Madrid will have a great advantage and will apply tactics. Rather, Liverpool may be defeated because of being under pressure.

If you are talking about the final game of the champions league in 2005, I remember the game between Liverpool and Milan when Milan had a star like Kaka and they scored three goals in the first half while Liverpool make a sweet comeback and they scored three goals in the second half and then in the penalty kicks Liverpool won the game while Milan much better players, I think Liverpool can do another comeback this time against Real Madrid.

Real madrid vs Liverpool will be meeting again in the second leg of the UEFA champions league game but this game between this 2 teams seems to be in favour of the host team which is Real madrid after they defeated Liverpool 5:2 in their visit to arm field which means as it stands now they are in advantage and with their perfect performance today against Espanyol in the Spanish laliga that see them defeating Espanyol 3:1 makes them more prepared for the upcoming game, while the visiting team being Liverpool under performed today when the visited Bournemouth and was defeated 1:0, that's means Real madrid is the favourite in this encounter.

I'm sure many are disappointed with Liverpool at this time, because Liverpool lost by a team that was far below Liverpool in quality. But with these results, I think it looks like Liverpool will only play well only when Liverpool play against top teams. So playing against Real Madrid, it is possible that Liverpool will still be able to play well to provide strong resistance for Real Madrid.

But yes, if we have been disappointed like this then surely we will no longer have good judgment for Liverpool and will be expecting a bad result. Basically, every match is difficult to predict, because notes on paper don't always work well for the actual final result.

Liverpool are a big mess and they can't stand a chance against Real Madrid. It is that simple I'm afraid.

They proved this once again by losing to a team like Bournemouth today. Can you just imagine how this team can defeat Manchester United by 7-0 a week before and now they are losing to one of the worst teams of the Premier League? I just can't. In this condition they can't do anything good against Real Madrid in Santiago Bernabeu. They had better not lose there at least. But it feels like Real Madrid will defeat them once again nicely.

I don't want to speculate too far. because, only a few teams have just been confirmed to qualify for the next round. Madrid, Napoli, City, Inter, will play their matches in the second leg to ensure qualification for the next round. however, if in the end Madrid overthrows Liverpool at the Santiago Bernabeu later and Napoli can smoothly overthrow Frankfurt. meaning, these two teams will meet in the next phase round. this fight, we can not just ignore it. because, it is very likely that Napoli can become a stumbling block for a team as big as Madrid. despite the fact, Madrid has the advantage in terms of mentality.

For City, I still remain confident and optimistic, that Pep Guardiola's squad will advance to the next round phase. City also remains the favorite to play in the Champions League final. but at least, Bayern Munich, which is certain to be one of the strong candidates in winning the title this season. but before we speculate too far, we better wait for the match between Inter, City, Napoli, Madrid, who will play their match in the second leg later to determine qualification for the next round.

But in a team relying on just a few players, that's not good for them, because they also need other players who can provide full support for the game. But what I see from Paris Saint Germain is that they haven't been able to play as a team, they do have a lot of players who have good quality individually but as a team they are still lacking. When they lose any of those three they always struggle, and even when all three are available they are not yet able to compete at a higher level.




What happens to Liverpool is completely unpredictable, sometimes they play well but at the same time they can play badly in just 1 match. We'll see how they destroy Manchester United and in the next game they lose to a club that actually has a quality that is very far from the club they destroyed before. This is Real Madrid who have repeatedly conceded them in the Champions League, and they need a 3-goal win at least to keep their hopes alive, and we know that won't be easy at the Santiago Bernabeu.

It is undeniable that Chelsea is a very messy team, Potter has not found a way to get at least one win, the only problem they have is with the strikers, they just don't score goals, I would leave Joao Félix up front, I would try Let's see how it goes, now in the second leg against Dortmund it's very difficult, I couldn't say who could be the winner, but according to Chelsea's performance, if it hasn't improved then it won't be much of a problem for Dortmund who is going through a great moment, the truth is if Chelsea doesn't react I don't know where it will stop, against Tottenham they started from more to less, then they fell apart.


I really see it as very difficult for them to beat Real Madrid and overcome the great difference they have , of course this is not impossible , but everyone must be reminded that Real Madrid is not Manchester United , Manchester United is something That could have happened a long time ago,but Real Madrid is first in the UCL ,when they are in competitions of this style they grow a lot and they don't miss any opportunity and apart from all this the players have a feeling that they need to take the "Orejona" because it is his Guarantee that the team will continue to be managed by Ancelotti,who still has a chance to win La Liga and UCL.

This reminds me of the match between Real and Chelsea last season, I believe you all remember that match in Madrid.
Real also, like now against Liverpool, won by a big margin away from home and everyone was convinced that the second game in Madrid would be a formality.
However, in the second game in Madrid, Chelsea played fantastically and led 3:0, and then Modric saved Real with a great assist and in the end, and Real somehow managed to turn the game around.
Liverpool is not a team to be underestimated and nothing is over yet, although Real are of course the favorites.
