This is not the first time that Liverpool fans have adopted this practice to annoy their opponents. The same happened in 2019, shortly before the clash against Barcelonafor the semi-final of the Champions League, which ended with Jurgen Klopp’s team winning 4-0.
The first leg clash between the teams is scheduled for 5 pm (Brasília time) this Tuesday, at Anfield. The second leg takes place in just over three weeks, on March 15, at the same time, at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
This Tuesday’s game will also mark a more than special reunion, as Liverpool and Real Madrid made the final of the last edition of the Champions League, in 2021/22. The decision was won by the merengue club, by 1 to 0, in Paris, with a goal by the Brazilian striker Vinícius Júnior.
