As you can see, things are pretty evenly-matched between both these top clubs when it comes to head-to-head meetings in the Champions League. Real Madrid enjoy a slim lead but Liverpool would not be too bothered about that, considering the fact that they have been a formidable outfit in Europe and England for the past few years. The Los Blancos have had a superb season with their frontman Karim Benzema firing all guns and it looks as if he can't do anything wrong at the moment.
Real Madrid had come out victorious the last time they battled Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League, back in the 2020-21 season. They had won 3-1 on aggregate in the quarterfinals. Can they make it three in a row against Jurgen Klopp's men? Or would Liverpool have their revenge for the defeat in the 2018 UCL final?
