Liverpool have it all to do at Anfield after losing the first-leg of their Champions League quarter final 3-1 against Real Madrid.The Reds would have hoped to carry the kind of form they showed in the win over Arsenal, but their first half display was a stark contrast to that showing. Jurgen Klopp’s men struggled to retain possession and when Real opened the scoring it was richly deserved.Just before the half-hour mark Toni Kroos picked out Vinicius Jr.

Real Madrid presidential hopeful Enrique Riquelme has admitted he would attempt to lure Jurgen Klopp to the Bernabeu, if he wins the upcoming elections.Long-time president Floretino Perez has called for a vote to secure a fifth term in office, but 32-year-old Riquelme is set to stand – and is promising big things for Los Blancos.In a recent interview, the Cox Energy CEO claimed that he would look to replace Zinedine Zidane as manager, despite a trophy laden spell under his guidance.On his list of potential replacements, Riquelme has revealed he likes the Liverpool boss a lot, although Real legend, Raul, who is currently in charge of the Castilla team in the Spanish capital, is also an option."Zidane would not be my coach,” Riquelme said,

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has been left with a defensive crisis that Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool trio of Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah will look to exploit.Following the news that captain Sergio Ramos will miss the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final through injury, Raphael Varane tested postive for Covid-19 on Tuesday morning.That has given their French boss a huge dilemma before their biggest clash of the season so far, and he could be forced to alter his formation to cover the gaps.That news will come as a postive to Klopp, who is desperate for his side to prove they are still fighting for silverware following their recent Premier League struggles.Real Madrid podcast Managing Madrid are expecting Zidane to

Jurgen Klopp looks set to stick with a similar XI from Liverpool's 3-0 win over Arsenal when they host Real Madrid in the first-leg of their Champions League quarter-final tonight. The Reds produced a dominant performance against the Gunners on Saturday to continue their recent hot streak and make it three wins on the bounce in all competitions.Tonight's match against Real Madrid at Anfield promises to be a much sterner test, but Klopp can rely on plenty of in-form stars who are undroppable after recent performances.

Arsenal and Liverpool supporters during their Premier League encounter on Saturday evening.The experienced man-in-the-middle was on hand to adjudicate between Mikel Arteta and Jurgen Klopp’s men in north London, which ended in a comfortable 3-0 win to the visitors.However, it was Attwell's appearance that got people talking rather than his performance, with many questioning his bold hairstyle as those at home await the reopening of hairdressers and barbers.The new style had all the makings of a DIY lockdown trim from home, with a harsh shave around the back and sides without any successful attempt of a fade on top.

Here are three things Klopp got right on a comfortable night for the fallen Premier League champions...Eyebrows were raised when Jota was left on the bench for this clash, given the attacker had scored three goals in two World Cup qualifiers for Portugal during the international break.
