Needing to conjure up a slice of Bernabeu magic to prolong their European journey, Liverpool make the journey to the Spanish capital to face Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday night.

While Liverpool will perform much better than the first leg, the 3 goals disadvantage will proved too much for the away side to overcome
