94 - Mehdi Taremi’s strike (93:01) was the latest Chelsea have conceded in a Champions League game (excluding extra-time) since April 2005 against Bayern Munich, when Mehmet Scholl scored after 94:55. Inconsequential.

Liverpool vs Real Madrid
Liverpool progressed to the quarter-finals by easing past RB Leipzig in the Round of 16, having won their group ahead of Atalanta, Ajax and Midtjylland. Real Madrid, too, managed to clinch their group, although they ran things much closer than the Reds before winning Group B. In the Last 16 stage, Los Blancos beat Atalanta 4-1 on aggregate before setting up the quarter-finals date with the Premier League champions.
Liverpool’s recent results, though, have not been too convincing, especially at home, with Jurgen Klopp’s men managing to win only two of the nine games they have played at Anfield since the turn of the year.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, have been in fine touch for quite some time now, with their last defeat in any competition coming back in January. Since then, the Merengues have gone 13 games without being beaten.
The, first leg, played at Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano last week, saw Real Madrid cruise to a 3-1 win over Liverpool, who did nick a crucial away goal.
