Liverpool have a tall task ahead of them. They enter the second leg of their Champions League showdown with Real Madrid down three goals after losing 5-2 in the opening leg. Now they'll have to overcome their struggles away from home in a major way to advance to the last eight. The Reds have shown that they can score goals in bunches, wiping aside Manchester United 7-0 but then they went and lost 1-0 to Bournemouth showcasing why they only have three away victories in Premier League play.
But Real Madrid also haven't been infallible, only winning one of their last four games following the first leg victory over Liverpool. Los Blancos have dealt with an uncharacteristic scoring drought. Facing top La Liga sides like Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, and Real Betis, they only scored one goal before breaking out to score three against Espanyol. It's hard to tell which Real Madrid side will show up to a match and that alone makes this a fascinating clash.
