In case u r unaware, Madrid rested Benzema on Saturday when they played and beat Osasuna 0-2; Madrid played ok but nothing special, Osasuna actually opened them up a few times and probably should have scored at least one (fyi..I watched the match).
Vini Jnr looked especially sharp and is on his game 100%, TAA and the MF will have to watch him very closely, Camavinga looked sharp in mf and had some nice touches.
Suspect klopp may well play:
..................Allison.........
TAA...Gomez..VVD....Robertson
.................Fabinho..................
.....Henderson.......Bajcetic....
Salah..........Firmino.......Nunez
Bench: Kostas..Kelleher..Matip..Milner..AOC..Keita
............Elliott..Jota..Gakpo..Jones..Melo.
Injured: Diaz..Thiago..Ramsay..Konate
Real Madrid possible starting lineup:
..............Courtois...........
Carvajal..Militao..Rudiger..Alaba..
...Valverde...Modric..Camavinga,
...............Rodrigo..............
....Benzema...Vinicius Jr......
Out of game: A Tchouameni and Toni Kroos
Liverpool Vs R Madrid pre amble..

Can see us winning this but like 1-0 or 2-1. Defending that at the Bernabau would he a huge challenge.

A 2-0 for us and I would be confident of going through over the two legs

UEFA will be smarting from the CL enquiry findings. Expect some shat referee and dubious decisions.

We need to play a very high tempo game. Osasuna yesterday had a very good pressing trap. They forced them to build up from their left hand side and the moment Rudiger had the ball he was pressed which made him going for the long ball. If we do this we need defenders who are good in the air and the midfield to win the second balls. Matip would be the better option for this tactic but on the other hand Gomez is the better defender to cover on that side 1v1 against Vinicius.

I'd regrain from doing what they did. They lost. We need to play our own game and go to Madrid with an advantage, where we can then worry about what they do.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's not my point though. It's about tactics out of possession and how to get the ball without allowing them to pass it to their great midfielders. You don't want them involved in the build up phase.
We will see Tuesday. The video analysis team will have provided enough footage to Klopp.

Aurelien Tchouameni and Toni Kroos will miss the game, been confirmed. Looks like a mf of:
Camvinga..Modric..Valverde

That's a good midfield to be fair.
