The Spanish team wants one of the Reds' jewels

Liverpool and Real Madrid play this Wednesday night in a Champions League round of 16 rematch where Liverpool will have to come back from 5-2 down if they are to advance to the quarter-finals and seek to win another European Cup. The Reds are adept at pulling off miracles in this competition.

German coach Jürgen Klopp made some changes to his starting 11 due to injuries to captain Jordan Henderson and youngster Stefan Bajcetic. That's why James Miller and Diego Jota are starting, trying to have more strikers to help him score the goals that the Reds need to eliminate the Spanish team.

Among Liverpool's most famous miracles is the so-called miracle of Istanbul, where in 45 minutes Liverpool tied a 3-0 deficit and beat Milan on penalties to be crowned European champions. Years later at Anfield they also came from behind to beat Barcelona with the memorable goal scored by Divock Origi.

<strong>Trent Alexander Arnold interests Real Madrid</strong>

Minutes before kick-off, controversy was sparked by Real Madrid's alleged interest in one of Liverpool's star players. According to journalist Ekrem Konur the Spaniards want to sign Trent Alexander Arnold at the end of the season but in response Liverpool are reportedly offering him a new contract until 2028 with a significant increase in salary.
