Liverpool - Real Madrid

For the first match of the round of 16 of the Champions League, Liverpool welcomes Real Madrid to Anfield. The away goals rule does not apply, there will be a replay in Madrid.

Liverpool had no problem in the group stage, with opponents Napoli, Ajax and Rangers finishing in 2nd place - tied with the Italian team - with 15 points and qualified for the 16 of the competition.

In the Premier League, having had many ups and downs in its performance since the beginning of the year, it has been out of contention for the title for a long time, but it is trying to cover the lost ground to place in the top four of the standings that gives participation in the groups of the next Champions League.
Last Saturday they achieved a great victory over Newcastle 2-0 away from home, which gives them hopes of catching the top four which gives a ticket to the next Champions League. So he reached 35 points and after 22 matches he is in 8th place with 35 points, minus 7 from 4th Tottenham.

Real's task was easy in the group too, with opponents Leipzig, Shakhtar and Celtic making a record of 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, finishing in 1st place in this year's attempt to retain the scepter being last year's title holder.
In the Spanish league, however, things are not going as expected in the battle for the title, after 22 matches they are in 2nd place with 51 points and minus 8 from the first Barcelona. In her last match in time, she beat Osasuna away 2-0 with two goals scored in the last quarter of the match.

Big derby between two teams that met last year in the big final. With the quality they have, we can see a match with many phases and both teams stepping on the area many times and I think there may be a penalty for one of the two teams.

Proposal: Liverpool - Real Madrid to be awarded a penalty with an odds of 2.57
