Former Arsenal star, Paul Merson believes Liverpool have zero chance of making it to the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League this term.

The Reds will take on Real Madrid on Wednesday night, and will need to overturn a three-goal deficit, after going down 5-2 to the reigning Spanish Champions in the reverse fixture.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Merson gave his prediction: “When you watch the Bournemouth game you think, ‘What chance have Liverpool got at Real Madrid?’

“Needing to score three, at least, is a big ask, it would be one of the greatest Champions League comebacks of all time.

“Barcelona did it against Paris Saint-Germain but that was at home. This is away at the cup holders. I give them no chance.”
