Liverpool vs Real Madrid: 5 players to watch out for

#3 Mohamed Salah | Liverpool

Real Madrid v Liverpool FC - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final: Leg One

Mohamed Salah has been one of the most consistent attackers in world football since moving to Liverpool and could well be the difference-maker on the night. The Egyptian king often steps up to the plate when his team needs him the most and scored a crucial away goal in Madrid that has seemingly kept Liverpool in the tie.

As the two sides lock horns at Anfield, the onus will once again be on the 29-year-old to produce the goods in front of goal. With Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane misfiring this season, Salah has rescued Liverpool almost single-handedly at times and will look to produce another magical moment in Europe.

Salah has a score to settle against Real Madrid after the unfortunate events of 2018 and will look to get his name on the scoresheet at Anfield tomorrow night.

#2 Vinicius Jr | Real Madrid

Vinicius Jr was the hero of the first leg and will once again look to wreak havoc against the likes of Nat Phillips and Ozan Kabak. The Brazilian winger's devastating pace was on display several times in Spain, as he ran the Liverpool backline ragged and scored a match-winning brace.

With Eden Hazard missing, Vinicius was tasked with being the difference-maker against an injury-ravaged Liverpool side. He did so in some style and followed it up with another memorable performance against Barcelona in El Clasico, as he finally managed to show signs that he's coming of age.

The 20-year-old is one of the most exciting players in world football and will be one to watch again when the two sides meet at Anfield.

#1 Karim Benzema | Real Madrid

Real Madrid v FC Barcelona - La Liga Santander

Karim Benzema has been one of the best players in the world in the 2020-21 European football season and has led Real Madrid's charge since the turn of the year. The Frenchman has aged like fine wine and continued scoring goals consistently for Los Blancos, with Zidane counting on one of his most experienced players domestically as well as in Europe.

Benzema didn't get his name on the scoresheet in the first leg, but he ran the show as the focal point of the attack and troubled the Liverpool backline with his movement and guile on the ball.

The experienced striker will look to score another important goal for Real Madrid and take them through to the UEFA Champions League semi-final, as Los Blancos look to conquer Europe for a staggering 14th time in their history.
