Considering Liverpool have won all three of their previous European Cup clashes with Real Madrid in Paris, Madrid & Anfield, nothing less than 6 points from those two fixtures will be classified as failure at Anfield. They should beat Basel home and away too. What are Ludogorets like?
No Real Madrid would be considered a much better team than liverpool these days. They are the current European champions and have possibly the most expensive squad ever assembled. I’d say they’ll be clear favourites to beat liverpool both times they play.
Its all about what happens on the field. Read Madrid were favourites going into the 1981 Final and the 2009 Round of 16 meetings as well. The lessons from history should never be ignored.
Real Madrid have never scored a goal against Liverpool.
Did you start collage bud
Very true.
Liverpool will need to tread warily in Bulgaria. After disposing of Real Madrid in the 1981 final, Liverpool lost their European title in Bulgaria in 1982 when they were eliminated by CSKA Sofia.
