At 2023/2/21 20:00 UTC, Real Madrid will face Liverpool in the first round of the UCL 1/8 final.

Toni Kroos and Aurelien Tchouameni have not been named in Real Madrid's Champions League squad to face Liverpool on Tuesday.

The Champions League winners will travel to Anfield to face last year's finallists with a depleted midfield, without two of Carlo Ancelotti's first-choice stars in the engine room.

Experienced veteran Luka Modric headlines the midfield alongside Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, Mario Martin, Sergio Arribas and Dani Ceballos.
