As it happened: Bayern 1-3 LFC

Jurgen Klopp returns to his native Germany as Liverpool face their second leg clash with fellow five time European Champions Bayern Munich.

The first leg, at Anfield, ended 0-0 meaning this tie remains finely balanced despite the Munich side enjoying home advantage in this second leg.

Video Referee's are again in use as they were in the first leg, although they were not required in that goalless affair. All tonight's officials are from Italy.

Although the reds are away from home and thus facing a hostile environment, they do have the technical advantage of being free to try and get what could be an important away goal.

Bayern are aiming for what would be an 8th consecutive appearance in the Quarter Final stage.

Reds must end losing away record in Europe

The reds are flying high in the Premier League, and they have once again reached the knockout stage of this competition.

But there's been a murky path plodded in this competition in 2018.

Here's Liverpool's last five European games away from Anfield.

Nov 2018 - Lost away at PSG 2-1
Nov 2018 - Lost away at Red Star Belgrade 2-0
Oct 2018 - Lost away at Napoli 1-0
May 2018 - Lost in Ukraine v Real Madrid 3-1
May 2018 - Lost away at Roma 4-2

Liverpool did beat Man City away from home, but the reds last victory in this competition not on English soil was on Valentines Day 2018 - almost 13 months ago!!  A 5-0 win at Porto.
