Liverpool vs Real Madrid live score, updates, highlights and lineups from Champions League last-16 first leg

ANFIELD, LIVERPOOL (AP) – Liverpool have a chance to avenge last season’s Champions League final defeat by Real Madrid when the two sides meet tonight in the first leg of a round of 16.

The Reds were beaten 1-0 by Madrid’s Carlo Ancelotti at the Stade de France in Paris last May.

This result not only secured Los Blancos their 14th European Cup, but also ensured they have avoided defeat in their last six meetings with Liverpool, two of them in recent finals.

However, the Spanish giants have not played at a packed Anfield since 2009, when they were beaten 4-0 by the Rafael Benitez-managed hosts.

Lineup Liverpool vs. Real Madrid

The biggest concern for Klopp before this clash was whether Darwin Nunez fit after suffering a shoulder injury in the weekend’s win against Newcastle.

However, the Uruguayan trained as usual on Monday afternoon and so Liverpool’s side should be largely catching themselves.

Liverpool predicted line-up (4-3-3): Alisson (GK) – Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson – Henderson, Fabinho, Bajcetic – Salah, Gakpo, Jota

  • Injured: Ramsay, Thiago, Diaz, Konate, Arthur
  • Exposed: none

Ancelotti had expected both Aurelien Tshouameni And Tony Kroos absent due to illness before he made himself available for a place in the squad.

However, the German only makes sense on the bench Fede Valverde moves back into midfield Karim Benzema leads the attack, flanked by a Brazilian duo Rodrygo And Vinicius Jr.

Real Madrid (4-3-3): Courtois (GK) – Carvajal, Militao, Ruediger, Alaba – Valverde, Camavinga, Modric – Rodrygo, Benzema, Vinicius Jr

  • Injured: Mendy, Chouameni, Diaz
  • Exposed: none
