The defending European champions fell to defeat away at the Wanda Metropolitano, which means that they must win the return leg on home turf if they wish to progress into the quarter-finals of the competition.
Saul Niguez’s fourth-minute goal in Madrid stunned the Reds, who must now hope that the home support of Anfield will be on their side as they look to mount a vital comeback.
