Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu stadium will not be available to stage the game due to ongoing construction work but their Alfredo Di Stefano stadium – traditionally the home of the club’s Castilla side – will host the last eight encounter.
Real Madrid news sees them host the Reds in the quarter finals of Europe’s premier club competition in a repeat of the 2018 showpiece of the tournament, which Zinedine Zidane’s side won 3-1.
The two sides previously met in the group stage of the 2014/15 version of the competition, with Los Blancos winning both matches between the two teams.
