Real Madrid vs Liverpool live stream: How to watch Champions League fixture online and on TV tonight
Liverpool resume their quest for silverware in a clash of two genuine European heavyweights, as they head to Real Madrid for the Champions League quarter-final first leg.
The Reds reached this stage after topping their group and beating RB Leipzig in the round of 16, with the second leg of that tie being the start of a current three-match win streak. Jurgen Klopp’s team had struggled for results prior to that, but looked back to somewhere near their best in a weekend demolition job against Arsenal.
In fact, Liverpool have had few struggles on the road this year despite dropping off the pace in the Premier League; they have won seven of their last nine away games in all competitions, with the only two defeats coming against second- and third-placed Man United and Leicester.
It’s at home where the Reds have really struggled, meaning they might well look to this first leg as all-important to get their noses in front and have plenty to fight for when Real Madrid visit Anfield in just over a week.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.
