A few years ago, when Liverpool won the Champions League, Jurgen Klopp’s side could look to full-backs Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson with confidence that they would produce match-winning performances. Goals, assists, and corners taken quickly. To possess the two best full-backs in the world was a game-changer.

Real Madrid, a team known and feared for producing epic Champions League comebacks, needs to deliver its biggest one yet to keep its title defense alive on Wednesday. The record 15-time European champions are staring at a 3-0 deficit to Arsenal heading into the second leg of the quarterfinals at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.
