On Tuesday, Liverpool will face off against Real Madrid in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League. It will be a meeting of two of Europe’s most prestigious clubs.
The Reds will be looking to avenge their loss to Real Madrid in last season’s Champions League final. Since then, they have not beaten the LaLiga side. Their last six meetings with the Spanish giants have resulted in a single draw and five defeats. This is the longest winless streak against an opponent in the competition’s history.
This is a significant change from the early European encounters between the two clubs. From 1981 to 2009, Liverpool won each of their three meetings with Real Madrid.
The first meeting between these two clubs took place in 2009, and Real Madrid suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat. They have since won three of their four visits to Liverpool, including a 3-0 victory in October 2014. They have also not conceded a goal in the last two games.
