Furthermore, the Mattress Makers are winless in their last five home matches in this competition having registered two defeats and three draws as the hosts.
“When you play against a team like Liverpool you have to say credit to the team for being calm and taking on responsibility in the second half," Madrid manager Diego Simeone said after their defeat to Liverpool.
"Other teams would have fallen apart. It’s precision from them as well. The way Alexander-Arnold plays the cross. Perhaps that goal from Suarez which was ruled out could have got us back in the game.
"Our responsibility now is to get better. “I liked the way we were able to suffer in the second half. The second half served the purpose in showing us that when we press we can defend better.”
