While Real Madrid will formatting a plan to stop Mohamed Salah from wrecking havoc, Liverpool knows they must do the same for Cristiano if they wish to win. The Portuguese ace is on another remarkable goalscoring season and would be keen to tear the Reds apart.
Even when not at his best, everyone knows the lethal 33-year-old can turn a small chance into a goal in the blink of an eye. Keeping the five-time Ballon d’Or winner quiet will be one huge step towards winning the title.
But this raises a question: how has the Merseyside giant fared against Cristiano before? The Blancos icon has crossed paths with the Anfield side only twice since leaving the Premier League, but it was during his time in the English top-flight where he familiarized himself with Liverpool.
He has met the Champions League finalist 11 times in total – nine in the Premier League alone. The former Man United winger won more times than lost, enjoying five victories during his Old Trafford spell and another two as a Madridista.
His goalscoring record tells a different story. Cristiano has scored only three times against the Merseyside giant, with his last strike coming in the Spanish side’s 3-0 Champions League group stage win at Anfield in October 2014.
Cristiano's record vs Liverpool
Games: 11
Wins: 7
Draws: 1
Losses: 3
Goals: 3
Assists: 2
That tallies up to a goal every 317 minutes against England’s second-most successful team. In total, he has contributed to five goals against Saturday’s opponent, having two assists under his belt.
Of course, the majority of his games against Liverpool came during his Red Devils days. He was a world-class player back then, but now he is on a totally different level. Only time will tell if Klopp’s men can stop him.
