Liverpool Team News
Liverpool players are playing disappointingly this season. However, in the previous two matches in the Premier League, they won both. They played the last game against Newcastle and beat them 0:2. Darwin Nunez scored the first goal in the 10th minute, and just seven minutes later Cody Gakpo doubled the advantage of the visitors, which was the final result.
In the league, they occupy eighth place in the table with 35 points, seven points less than fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur. In the last five matches in all competitions, they recorded two wins, two losses and one draw. They qualified for the knockout phase of the Champions League as second in group A. They had the same number of points as first-placed Napoli, but due to a worse goal difference, they finished in second place.
In the match against Newcastle, Darwin Nunez had to leave the field in the 59th minute due to a shoulder problem, and he is a question mark for the match with Real Madrid. Out of the protocol will be Luis Diaz, Ibrahima Konata, Thiago Alcantara and Calvin Ramsay. All others are at the disposal of coach Jurgen Klopp.
The only change compared to the last game of the Reds could be in the attack if Nunez is not ready enough. Instead of him, Diogo Jota or Roberto Firmino should run on the field, but we will have to see.
Real Madrid Team News
Real Madrid also triumphed in the last match in LaLiga, and they defeated Osasuna with an identical score (0:2). The goals for the guests were scored by Federico Valverde in the 78th minute of the match, and at the very end of this match, the final result was set by Marco Asensio in the 92nd minute.
They are currently in second place in the league with 51 points, eight less than first-placed Barcelona. In all competitions, they registered four wins and only one loss in the previous five games. They went to the round of 16 as the first in group F, and at the end they had one point more than the second-placed Leipzig.
The winner of the golden ball, Karim Benzema, missed the last match with Osasuna. However, coach Carlo Ancelotti believes that he will be ready for the game on Tuesday, after resting in the championship. Aurelien Tchouameni and Toni Kroos have fallen ill and will probably not be available to the Italian specialist, and Ferland Mendy and Mariano Diaz are also out of the protocol.
The first goalkeeper of Real Madrid, Thibaut Courtois, has recovered from his injury and will probably start on Tuesday, and Eduardo Camavinga and Dani Ceballos should be in the midfield. There probably won’t be any other changes.
