Real Madrid

The round of 16 of the Champions League continues tonight (Tuesday) with the replay of last season's final between Liverpool and Real Madrid.

The two who have already met twice in the factory final in the last five years, and won it each, will compete in one of the most intriguing meetings that the top European factory can offer, in one of the most exciting stadiums for the Champions League evenings - Anfield.

On the host side, there was much doubt as to whether Darwin Nunes would be able to play after injuring his shoulder in the 2-0 win over Newcastle, but the striker ended up in Jurgen Klopp's XI along with Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo.

The German coach kept the same 11 that beat the Magpies in an attempt to gain revenge against the team they failed to beat in the last six meetings, including two losses in the Champions League finals.

The European champions without the injured Orléan Tshoumani, welcomed back Karim Benzema who stepped up in attack with Vinicius and Rodrigo.

Instead French midfielder Eduardo Camabinga has been handed the keys from Carlo Ancelotti, with David Alaba continuing at left-back with Antonio Rudiger and Ader Militau as stoppers.

Toni Kroos, who was injured, was eventually included in the Blancos' squad.

Will be the deciding factor in the game again?
