While some of the more glitzy names like Mohamed Salah, Karim Benzema, Virgil van Dijk and Luka Modric might steal the limelight on Saturday night, spare a thought for Fabinho.
The Liverpool star might not get the headlines but he is as crucial to this team as any of Jurgen Klopp's big guns and he knows he will be relying on the midfielder to hold back the Real Madrid attack. However, what many people might not know is the Brazilian's own experience of the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid have a history of nabbing the best talents from Brazil, including the likes of Marcelo, Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo Goes, and Fabinho was no different back in 2012. While Rio Ave actually won the race for the then-Fluminese ace, Los Blancos took him on in a surprise loan move just weeks later.
