Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold will require a disciplined performance during Tuesday evening’s Champions League clash versus Real Madrid.
Jurgen Klopp’s side host Los Blancos in the first leg of their Round of 16 tie, aiming to avenge last season’s crushing defeat to the competition record holders in the French capital. No strangers to inflicting damaging blows at the Reds’ expense, the Spanish giants also defeated Liverpool in the 2018 Champions League final and at the quarter-final stage two years ago.
Both sides have not been at their best heading into the latest instalment of this heavyweight fixture, with Real currently eight points adrift of La Liga leaders Barcelona while Liverpool’s issues have been well-documented.
