UEFA Champions League - Real Madrid v Liverpool preview, Feb 25 2009

Liverpool will visit this week to the Bernabéu on 25 February to take on Real Madrid in the 16 league championship round.

First take a look on the performance of these clubs as they are currently in the second place in the domestic league. These both teams are also out of the domestic cup competitions and it is the best chance for either of these storied teams to take some silverware to their home this season. It is also an established fact that Rafa Benitez will performed best job for Liverpool and i think that it will be a juicy match for the football fanatics as it will bring striking Football live scores for them which they expect from their action heroes.

Liverpool will try their best to get their inspirational captain and leader, Steven Gerrard back to the team for this game. Steven Gerrard has missed the match against Manchester city draw with 1-1 this weekend, a result that looking crippled their title expectations. They would use him as he could squander several chances of scoring for them and performed well in the overrunning situation in the midfield. He could prove healthy for the last match which might be a great boost for his squad. Results of this match can disclose many things that Liverpool needs to implement for the next match playing on 25 February. Liverpool fans are also expecting the participation of the Steven Gerrard in the team as they can be sickened by the alternative. Lucas Leiva, another Liverpool player is also a good start in midfield.

Anyhow, Liverpool will be in strong position if their captain will be in team for the fight against Real Madrid. Real Madrid is also seen to be firing on all cylinders as of coming late. Last time, their excellent and forceful performance thrashed Real Betis with a lead of 6-2 this weekend and also defeated Sporting Gijon with 4-0 lead in the last week. Their striking performance in these matches will make them fit as strong opponents against Liverpool. Their striking forces are Klaas Jan Huntelaar, Raul and Gonzalo Higuaín who are famous to give nightmares to opposing defenders.

While on the other hand, defensive foursome of Heinze, Cannavaro, Sergio Ramos and Pepe look gelling at the right time. It is also too bad that Huntelaar is not eligible to play. Team players really miss him but if Arjen Robben, Wesley Sneijder, Huntelaar's countrymen, and Rafael Van der Vaart play well, it will fulfill the deficiency of this great player. Anyhow, there is still confusion as nobody can say that who will be the winner of the match. Both of these teams are strong side and they also need to get victory to advance for the next round. Do you also want to know that who will triumph in the fight of these two successful European clubs? Just wait for 25 February and clarify your confusion.
