Real Madrid to face Liverpool!
Current Champions of the Champions League will be going up against former Champions of the Champions League in the round of 16 rather than the final like last season.
Fourteen time winners, Real Madrid, faced off against Liverpool last year in the Champions League final and managed to win 1-0. With an 59th minute goal from Vinicius Junior.
No one expected this for Liverpool, however this will be one of the games in the round of 16.

Liverpool will be hoping to get revenge on Real Madrid after losing to them in the final last season. This could be the day Real Madrid don’t make it past the round of 16.
Without Mane, Liverpool will have to use everything to find a way to breakdown inform Real Madrid. On the other hand, Liverpool may be in great form after there win against Spurs!
Furthermore, Benzema will be in great form for this game and could prove why he is the current best player in the world.
