Jurgen Klopp opted against some pre-match mind games ahead of Liverpool's Champions League reunion with Real Madrid.
The two European heavyweights meet at Anfield on Tuesday night in the first leg of their blockbuster last-16 clash. The tie sees the resumption of a rivalry which has dominated this competition in recent years.
Real have beaten Liverpool in two finals in the past 5 seasons, including last year’s showpiece where they were victorious in Paris. In 2021, Los Blancos also got the better of the Reds, albeit both legs were played in empty stadiums amidst the coronavirus pandemic.
