Real Madrid v Liverpool in Numbers

With Liverpool and Real Madrid set to do battle for Champions League glory in a week's time, we take a look at the numbers behind their previous meetings, past European achievements, efforts this season and more…

Head-to-head history…
Wins
Real Madrid – Two
Liverpool – Three
The first of the five previous meetings between the clubs came in the 1981 European Cup final in Paris. That night, those in red defeated their opponents in white through a single goal from Alan Kennedy. The full-back’s near-post strike secured Liverpool’s – and Bob Paisley’s – third success in the competition in five years.

Almost three decades passed before they faced off again, this time in the tournament’s Round of 16 stage, during the 2008-09 campaign. The outcome was the same, though. Rafael Benitez’s Reds silenced the Santiago Bernabeu through Yossi Benayoun’s header and emphatically finished the job at Anfield 13 days later with a 4-0 rout.
It was a different story in 2014-15, however. Having ended their wait for a 10th European Cup the previous season, Real were too powerful for Liverpool when they came to Merseyside in the group stage and followed up a 3-0 victory with a 1-0 win in Madrid as Brendan Rodgers’ side bowed out before the knockout rounds.

Jürgen Klopp v Real Madrid…

Played six: won three, drawn one, lost two
Unlike his counterpart Zinedine Zidane, the Liverpool boss does have previous with his opponents.
He faced the Spanish giants six times during his Borussia Dortmund tenure, including four fixtures throughout the 2012-13 Champions League campaign. BVB took four points from two meetings in the group stage before eliminating Real 4-3 on aggregate in the last four en route to defeat in the final against Bayern Munich at Wembley.

They met again in the knockout stages a year later but, trailing 3-0 from the first leg, Klopp’s men were unable to complete a comeback in the quarter-finals and Real went on to lift the trophy.
In Kiev...

Real Madrid – Played four: won one, drawn two, lost one
The La Liga side have visited Dynamo Kyiv on four occasions, losing their first in 1998-99 but gaining revenge a year later with a 2-1 win that included a goal from future Reds striker Fernando Morientes. Successive 2-2 draws followed in 2004 and 2006.

Liverpool – Played two: won one, drawn one
Danny Murphy and Steven Gerrard were on target when Liverpool defeated the same Ukrainian outfit 2-1 during the 2001-02 Champions League first group stage. Assistant manager Phil Thompson took the reins in Kiev with Gerard Houllier absent for health reasons.
The Reds also played a qualifier in the city in August 2006, drawing 1-1 with Maccabi Haifa to secure progress to that season’s group stage and begin a journey all the way to the final.

Baca Juga: Ronaldo Make New Record in the UCL Dennis Wise selaku eks kapten sekaligus legenda Chelsea merasa heran dengan taktik yang digunakan Antonio Conte saat kalah 1-0 dari Manchester City.

Mungkin Conte merasa melawan Barcelona mereka bermain bagus dengan sistem itu, jadi dianggapnya bisa mengatasi City. Tapi ternyata tidak," uj...

Dzeko could have joined Real Madrid in January

Real Madrid will take on Roma on Wednesday night and they'll come up against Edin Dzeko , a striker they could have signed back in January. With Los Blancos needing goals, they took a look around the winter market to see what striking options were out there and they considered the Bosnian. Real Madrid went as far as speaking with the player, but he didn't view the idea of playing second fiddle to other forwards as ideal and the club didn't feel the need to push too hard in terms of trying to persuade him. Other clubs were interested too, with Chelsea also offering him a secondary role. In the end, though, Dzeko turned down the London and Madrid clubs because he is happy in Rome in both a personal and sporting sense. A Champions League run to the semi-finals followed, but this season has started poorly. The 31-year-old could yet make another big move to a European giant in one of the upcoming windows, but for now he if focus...
