Liverpool must receive forgettable statistics on the day they lost a bitter match against Real Madrid in the first leg of the 1/8 round of the Champions League.
The 5 goals that Liverpool have to receive against Real Madrid make them too much of a disadvantage before the rematch at the Bernabeu on March 16. Not only that, according to statistics from Opta, the “Red Brigade” also suffered many sad records.
Specifically, Liverpool became the first team in the history of the Champions League to lead 2-0 but then conceded 3 or more goals and lost the match. In addition, “The Kop” has suffered 4 or more goals for the first time when playing at home in the European Cup.
The 2-5 loss to Real Madrid also marked Liverpool’s heaviest defeat in the European Cup at home. In theory, the “Red Brigade” still has a chance to come back. However, it is difficult for that to happen.
Real Madrid is famous for being a team with the ability to go back to the classics in the C1 Cup, so they will know how to overcome Liverpool’s determination in the second leg. There is no reason for Ancelotti’s army to go back to the “falling road” that Barcelona faced in the 2018/19 season.
Coach Klopp has completely transformed Liverpool since he arrived at this team in 2015. This strategist can defeat all opponents with “The Kop”, except Real Madrid.
Up to now, Klopp has not been able to help Liverpool win against Real Madrid. Since 2018 to present, the two teams have met 5 times. “Los Blancos” is unbeaten with a record of 4 wins and 1 draw.
It is clear that Real Madrid is a “crystal” for Liverpool and Klopp. Regardless of the circumstances, the “Red Brigade” only knows how to be helpless against the Spanish Royal team.
The current situation is very difficult for Liverpool. The difference of 3 goals is almost impossible to level at the Bernabeu. Perhaps only thanks to a miracle did Klopp’s army think of continuing to advance in the C1 Cup.
