Liverpool recovers strength before hosting Real Madrid

Klopp's men surpass (0-2) a Newcastle that has only lost against the 'reds' this Premier

MADRID, 18 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Liverpool beat Newcastle this Saturday (0-2) on matchday 24 of the Premier, before receiving Real Madrid on Tuesday in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16, a good result, which was missing, and some punch, but not much football.

Jurgen Klopp's men took advantage of 20 minutes of very favorable barrage, with great goals from Darwin Núñez and Gakpo, which were rounded off with the expulsion of the local goalkeeper Nick Pope, who will miss the League Cup final. However, the weak moment of the 'reds' did not take long to appear and Newcastle reacted without the same aim.

Allan Saint-Maximin brushed the goal, which was avoided between Alisson and the wood, and Newcastle arrived better at half-time despite being with 10. In the restart, Liverpool added to their concerns the possible shoulder injury of Darwin Núñez, although Klopp was able to shoot Jota and Firmino. Virgil van Dijk, who had not played since the beginning of January, entered the eleven, ready for Real Madrid.

The 'reds' got a balsamic victory, thanks in part to Alisson's saves, to find some regularity and regain strength before hosting Real Madrid at Anfield. Those of Klopp also hold so that the fourth place of access to the Champions League does not go away from Newcastle, who conceded his second defeat of the season, both against Liverpool.
