The "Puskás Aréna" in Budapest, Hungary, will host the match between English club Liverpool and German club Leipzig as part of the first leg of the Round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League for the current 2020-2021 season.
Coach Jürgen Klopp's squad is looking to reconcile with fans after a significant drop in Liverpool's performance in the English league, following three consecutive surprising defeats. Mohamed Salah and his teammates aim to deliver a performance worthy of Liverpool to advance to the quarter-finals and continue their journey, hoping to reach the deeper stages, culminating in the final.
Liverpool relies on its Egyptian striker Mohamed Salah, who has scored 17 goals, leading the Premier League's top scorers, and 23 across all competitions. Recently, after the loss to Leicester City, Salah tweeted: "It has been a tough period for many reasons, we are champions and we will fight like champions until the end. We will not allow the decline in results we have faced, I promise you that." It is worth noting that Liverpool qualified for this stage as the leader of its group with 13 points, while Leipzig advanced as the runner-up of its group with 12 points. Liverpool has won the Champions League title six times in its history, while Leipzig has never won the title.
Meanwhile, the German team Leipzig is well aware of the challenge posed by their opponent but will strive to exert maximum effort to deliver a strong performance, aiming for victory and creating a surprise to secure a ticket to the next round. The match between Leipzig and Liverpool is scheduled for 10 PM Cairo time and will be broadcast on beIN Sports HD 2.
