The first leg match of the last 16 of the Champions League between Liverpool and Real Madrid will be a very interesting spectacle on Tuesday, 21 February 2023 at Anfield.
Liverpool will host at Anfield Stadium, and will look to take advantage at home with the support of their loyal fans. However, Real Madrid will also not come to Anfield empty-handed and will try to put up a fierce fight at home.
Real Madrid is ahead with 4 wins, while Liverpool have only been able to get 1 draw from head-to-head in the last 5 matches. The last meeting between the two teams was in the 2022 Champions League final where Real Madrid managed to beat Liverpool with a narrow score of 1-0.
Previously, in the 2020/2021 season, Real Madrid beat Liverpool 3-1 in the first leg of the quarter-finals before drawing 0-0 in the second leg. Meanwhile, in the 2018 Champions League final, Real Madrid beat Liverpool again with a score of 3-1. However, Liverpool managed to win the previous match in the 2014/2015 Champions League group stage with a score of 1-0.
Based on this data, it can be concluded that Real Madrid has a better record than Liverpool in head-to-head meetings in the Champions League.
The latest Liverpool conditions
From the table of Liverpool’s last 5 matches that you can see below, it can be seen that The Reds’ performance has been somewhat inconsistent. They were only able to score three wins in the last five matches, with one draw and one defeat.
A draw against Chelsea and a loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers may come as a surprise for Liverpool fans. However, this team seems to be on the mend with wins in their last two games against Everton and Newcastle United.
This victory will give Liverpool confidence when they face Real Madrid in the first leg of the last 16 of the Champions League tonight.
