Paul Merson says that Liverpool have “no chance” of overcoming the first leg deficit to knock Real Madrid out of the Champions League.

The Reds take on the Spanish giants in the second leg of their last-16 tie this evening at the Santiago Bernabeu. Liverpool suffered a 5-2 defeat in the reverse fixture three weeks ago, leaving a mountain to climb to reach the quarter-final.
