Real Madrid and Napoli will host Liverpool and Frankfurt Eintracht today, respectively, with the advantage of the important victories they achieved in the first legs of the round of 16 of the Champions League.
The Spanish team, current and maximum champion of the competition, will play from 5:00 p.m. (on Fox Sports and Star+) at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, after the comfortable 5-2 victory they obtained in England, after trailing 2-0 in the first 15′.
Simultaneously (ESPN Premium), Napoli, leader of Serie A, with the Argentine Giovanni Simeone, will face the German team (which has Lucas Alario in its ranks) at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium after the Italian team’s 2-0 victory in the first leg, in Germany.
In the history of the Champions League, only five times has a visiting team come back from a series in such condition and two were with the old rule of the away goal as a tie-breaker.
Liverpool was the protagonist of a historic feat in the semi-final of the 2018/19 edition but achieved it at Anfield, since after losing 3-0 against Barcelona at the Camp Nou they won 4-0 at home.
