An absorbing clash between the teams currently ranked second in the Premier League and Bundesliga respectively did not produce a mark on the scoresheet.
And so the battle for a place in the quarter-finals of the competition remains firmly balanced before the reverse meeting in Germany on March 13.
Team news
Liverpool made two changes, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson brought into the XI and Fabinho deployed at centre-back with Virgil van Dijk suspended and Dejan Lovren still injured.
Roberto Firmino recovered from illness to retain his place in the middle of the Reds attack.
