On the occasion of the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Champions, the Liverpool return to the city of Madrid. A city in which the 'reds’They have many and very good memories because it was the fifth European capital in which they conquered an Orejona. Before they did it in Rome twice (76/77 and 83/84), in London (77/78), in Paris (80/81) and in Istanbul (04/05).
It was not in the Gave
Stefano, where they will play this Tuesday, but yes in the Wanda, just eight kilometers from Valdebebas. There, in the spring of 2019, the Liverpool beat the Tottenham 2-0 and revalidated the title after falling in the final a year earlier against Real Madrid in Kiev.
For this reason, the visit of the English to the capital of Spain, although this time without an audience, will be special and may be used as an incentive to face the tie with greater motivation.
Klopp has not gone bad either
For its part, Klopp has visited Madrid on another occasion (season 12/13) where he lost to the Borussia Dortmund (2-0) but he agreed to what was his first final of Champions as a coach.
After endorsing a 4-1 in the first leg to the whites, the German knew how to hold the stake of the Bernabéu to leave there with the ticket to the final that, in the end, he would lose to Bayern Munich in London.
His most recent visit, already in 2020, was with Liverpool and against Atlético where he caught another defeat on Spanish soil that would mean his subsequent defeat in the round of 16 at the hands of the Cholo team.
