Here we will tell you in our style the most relevant of each game At the moment and if you don’t remember how the first legs turned out, here below we give you the summary, score and combinations that each team requires to advance to the Champions League Quarterfinals.
How were the first leg games in the Champions League?
Both Real Madrid and Napoli come into these matches with an advantage on the scoreboard, but also with the advantage of playing the second leg at home. Real Madrid won at Anfield 4-2, Therefore, at the Santiago Bernabéu, they can afford to lose by a goal difference and still qualify for the Quarterfinals.
Here the one forced to score goals is Liverpool. Winning by one goal is of no use to him, since he only ties the overall score with a win by a difference of two goals and with this he would take the series to overtime, so a Real Madrid goal would force the Reds to look for three in this game.

If you were Frankfurt or Liverpool, would you start with all the meat on the grill or would you first make sure you don’t get another goal?
