What result does Real Madrid need against Liverpool to qualify for the quarter finals of the 2022-2023 Champions League
The second leg between these two giants is set for March 15, 2023, with Madrid welcoming the Reds to the Spanish capital. The 14 time champions will advance to the quarterfinals if they win or draw on home soil. A loss by more than one goal could still leave Madrid in a favorable position depending on how the match unfolds.
It is important to note that the away goals rule has been removed from the Champions League. If Liverpool wins by three goals in Madrid, the aggregate score would push the tie to extra time, with penalties possible if needed. Liverpool would reach the quarterfinals directly only by winning the night by four or more goals on Spanish soil.
