Joel Matip reveals some Liverpool team-mates will be hoping to get 'payback' on Real Madrid ahead of Champions League last-16 showdown - with the Reds having lost two finals in the last five years to the Spanish giants

Joel Matip has admitted that some of his Liverpool team-mates will be looking to get 'payback' on Real Madrid after losing two Champions League finals in the last five years to the Spanish giants.

The European heavyweights will face off against each other yet again in the Round of 16 at Anfield on Tuesday night - in a repeat of the 2018 and 2022 Champions League finals.

Liverpool fans - who set off fireworks outside Real Madrid's hotel at 2am on Tuesday - will be hoping Jurgen Klopp's resurgent Reds can exact revenge on the LaLiga and European champions this time around.
