Match backgroundTwo of Germany's most high-profile coaches face off as Julian Nagelsmann's Leipzig welcome a Liverpool side led byJürgen Klopp in the first leg of their teams' round of 16 tie.

• Leipzig are in the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds for the second time after their debut appearance in2019/20, ensuring a round of 16 return by finishing second behind Paris Saint-Germain in Group H thanks to adramatic Matchday 6 victory against Liverpool's domestic rivals Manchester United. Liverpool, meanwhile, came firstin Group D, winning four of their six matches to reach this stage for the fourth season in a row.

• This is the first fixture between the teams, and is being played at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest.

Form guideLeipzig• Leipzig have won all three home games in the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League, beating İstanbul Başakşehir (2-0)and Paris Saint-Germain (2-1) before the 3-2 win against United on Matchday 6 that secured progress. They lost theirfirst two away games, going down 5-0 at United and 1-0 in Paris, but recorded a crucial 4-3 victory at İstanbulBaşakşehir on Matchday 5, substitute Alexander Sørloth scoring an added-time winner.

• This is Leipzig's third UEFA Champions League campaign, all in the last four seasons, and their fourth foray intoEuropean football overall.

• The 2019/20 season proved to be the most successful in Leipzig's brief European history, Nagelsmann's side goingall the way to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. Leipzig picked up 11 points to finish first in their section –they had come third in their two previous group stage campaigns in UEFA competition – ahead of Lyon, Benfica andZenit.

• Leipzig then beat 2018/19 runners-up Tottenham in their first UEFA Champions League knockout tie (1-0 a, 3-0 h)and Atlético de Madrid (2-1) in a one-off quarter-final in Lisbon prior to a 3-0 semi-final defeat by Paris.

• Leipzig have now won 12 of their 22 UEFA Champions League fixtures (D3 L7).

• This is Leipzig's first ever game in Hungary, and their third UEFA fixture on neutral territory after last season'smatches against Atlético and Paris.

• Third in the Bundesliga for the second season in a row in 2019/20, this is Leipzig's fourth European campaign andonly their 41st match. In 2017/18 they became the first team to make their European debut in the UEFA ChampionsLeague group stage.

• This season's Matchday 6 win at home to Manchester United made it three victories from Leipzig's four gamesagainst English clubs although the exception, a 5-0 reverse at Old Trafford, was their heaviest European defeat.

Liverpool• The Reds won their first three games in this season's competition without conceding, beating Ajax (1-0) and Atalanta(5-0) away and Midtjylland (2-0) at home. A 2-0 defeat by the Italian side on Matchday 4 was their first group stagereverse at Anfield since October 2014, but progress and first place were assured by another 1-0 win against Ajax onMatchday 5 before a closing 1-1 draw at Midtjylland.

• Liverpool were champions of England for the 19th time in 2019/20, their first league title since 1990.

• The Reds are in the UEFA Champions League for the 13th time; this is the tenth time they have reached the last 16.

• Klopp's side also finished top of Group E in 2019/20, recovering from losing their opening fixture 2-0 at Napoli toadvance with 13 points ahead of the Italian club. They sealed progress on Matchday 6 with a 2-0 victory at Salzburg.

• Liverpool had won their sixth European Cup in 2018/19, but their defence of the trophy came to a halt in the round of16, Atlético winning 1-0 in Spain and, after extra time, 3-2 at Anfield. The latter result ended Liverpool's 25-matchunbeaten home run in Europe (W18 D7), since a 3-0 loss to Real Madrid on 22 October 2014, and was their firstaggregate defeat in 12 two-legged knockout ties in UEFA competition.

• Liverpool have won 13 of their last 21 European fixtures (D3 L5).

• Liverpool's last game against a Bundesliga side came in the 2018/19 UEFA Champions League, a round of 16 winagainst Bayern München (0-0 h, 3-1 a) that made their record in two-legged ties against German clubs W15 L2. Theyhave won the last five, since a 4-3 aggregate defeat against Bayer Leverkusen in the 2001/02 quarter-finals (1-0 h, 2-4 a).

• The Reds are unbeaten in ten games with German clubs since that 2002 loss at Leverkusen (W7 D3) – their onlyreverse in their past 18 fixtures (W11 D6).

• This is Liverpool's first game in Hungary since a 1-0 victory away to Debrecen in the 2009/10 UEFA Champions6


League group stage, a match played at Budapest's Ferenc Puskás Stadium, which was demolished in 2016 to makeway for the Puskás Aréna that opened three years later. That win was Liverpool's first in Hungary on their third visit inUEFA competition (D2), all those games taking place in Budapest.

• Liverpool's record against German clubs on neutral territory is W2 D1 L1, with victories in their last two suchmatches, most recently a 3-2 defeat of Bayern in the 2001 UEFA Super Cup in Monaco. They also beat BorussiaMönchengladbach in the 1977 European Cup final in Rome to win the trophy for the first time having lost 2-1 toDortmund in Glasgow in the 1966 European Cup Winners' Cup final.

• Last season's defeat at Atlético in the round of 16 is Liverpool's only loss in their last six UEFA Champions Leagueaway matches (W4 D1).

• The Merseyside club are in the round of 16 for the fourth season in a row and the ninth overall; their record is W6 L2.Both defeats have come as holders; against Benfica in 2005/06 (0-1 a, 0-2 h) and Atlético last season.

• Last season's elimination by Atlético was Liverpool's first aggregate defeat in the UEFA Champions League since a7-5 loss to Chelsea in the 2008/09 quarter-finals.

• Before last season, the Reds were unbeaten in eight matches in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 (W6 D2);they had kept seven consecutive clean sheets before conceding at Bayern in 2018/19.

Competition factsUEFA Champions League: Did you know?Overall records• In 2016/17 Real Madrid became the first team to successfully defend the UEFA Champions League trophy, with ACMilan (1989, 1990) the previous club to win consecutive European Cups. Milan (1994, 1995), Ajax (1995, 1996),Juventus (1996, 1997) and Manchester United (2008, 2009) have all returned to the UEFA Champions League finalas holders only to lose.

• Real Madrid's 2018 triumph made them the first team to win three successive European Cups twice. The Spanishside won the first five editions of the tournament, between 1956 and 1960; Ajax (1971–73) and Bayern München(1974–76) have also lifted the trophy three years in a row.

• Only two teams have ever won the UEFA Champions League on home soil: Borussia Dortmund (1997, final inMunich) and Juventus (1996, final in Rome), while Manchester United lost the 2011 final in London and 12 monthslater Bayern were beaten in the showpiece in their own stadium, the Fußball Arena München.

Knockout stage• Real Madrid have qualified for the UEFA Champions League knockout phase a record 25 times, including 24 insuccession. They have also played a competition-high 99 knockout phase matches – ahead of Bayern München (96)and Barcelona (95).

• Teams have overturned a first-leg deficit to go through 49 times, including six in 2018/19 – a competition record for asingle season – and Paris Saint-Germain in last season's round of 16.

• Before 2018/19, only twice – Ajax's defeat of Panathinaikos in the 1995/96 semi-finals and Internazionale's victoryagainst Bayern in the 2010/11 round of 16 – had a side progressed after a home first-leg loss. However, Ajax again(against Real Madrid) and Manchester United (against Paris Saint-Germain) both achieved the feat in the 2018/19round of 16 before Tottenham (against Ajax) did likewise in the semi-finals.

• The biggest losing margin a side has overhauled was achieved by Barcelona against Paris in the 2016/17 last 16,when they lost 4-0 away but progressed thanks to a 6-1 home success. That eclipsed the previous record held byDeportivo La Coruña in the 2003/04 quarter-finals, when they went down 4-1 at AC Milan but won 4-0 at home; Romaequalled that margin in the 2017/18 quarter-finals, turning round a 4-1 first-leg loss at Barcelona with a 3-0 homesuccess, while in the 2018/19 semi-finals Liverpool lost 3-0 in the first leg at Barcelona but went through after a 4-0home victory.

• Thirty-four ties have been decided on away goals, including 13 where the triumphant team lost the first leg. Bayernand Monaco have benefited from the away goals rule five times – more than any other club – whereas Internazionalehave been eliminated by that method a record four times.

• In all, 30 ties have required extra time. Fourteen have been settled by extra time alone: seven round of 16encounters including Atlético de Madrid-Liverpool in 2019/20, five quarter-finals, the 2007/08 semi-final betweenChelsea and Liverpool, and the 2013/14 final between Real Madrid and Atlético.

• Sixteen ties have gone to penalties, including seven finals – 1996, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2012 and 2016. The firsttwo-legged tie decided on spot kicks was PSV Eindhoven's 4-2 victory over Lyon on 13 April 2005 after a 2-2aggregate draw, still the only quarter-final to go to penalties. Bayern, Chelsea and Atlético have all appeared in threeshoot-outs, sharing the competition record, with Bayern, Atlético and Liverpool having won the most (two apiece).

• The 2015/16 round of 16 tie between Atlético and PSV was the first to finish goalless after two legs. Thirteen havefinished 1-0 on aggregate, most recently Real Madrid's defeat of Manchester City in the 2015/16 semi-finals.

• Liverpool (versus Porto) and Bayern (versus Beşiktaş) both won 5-0 in the 2017/18 round of 16, equalling theknockout phase record for the biggest first-leg lead – Real Madrid's 6-1 victory at Schalke in 2013/14 and Bayern's 5-0success at Sporting CP in 2008/09, both also in the round of 16.

• Bayern eventually beat Sporting by a record aggregate margin of 12-1 after a 7-1 stroll in the home second leg; thattie also featured more goals (13) over its two legs than any UEFA Champions League knockout tie until it wasequalled by Liverpool's 7-6 aggregate win against Roma in the 2017/18 semi-final.

• Bayern and Manchester City jointly hold the record for the largest margin of victory in a UEFA Champions Leagueknockout match. Bayern beat both Basel (2011/12) and Shakhtar Donetsk (2014/15) 7-0 in the round of 16 secondleg, while City beat Schalke by the same scoreline at the same stage of the 2018/19 competition.

• A record five clubs from England participated in the 2017/18 knockout phase. Including 2019/20, England has alsoprovided four clubs on eight other occasions – as has Spain six times and Germany three. England is the only nation

20


to have provided four quarter-finalists in a season, 2018/19 being the third occasion after 2007/08 and 2008/09.

• There are four clubs from two nations in the round of 16 for only the fourth time in 2020/21 (Germany and Spain).England and Spain both had four apiece in 2008/09, there were four each from England and Germany in 2013/14while in 2019/20 Spain and England each had four representatives.

• Clarence Seedorf is the only player to have lifted the European Cup with three clubs (Ajax 1995, Real Madrid 1998,Milan 2003, 2007). Bob Paisley (Liverpool 1977, 1978, 1981) was the first coach to win it three times, a feat CarloAncelotti (Milan 2003, 2007, Real Madrid 2014) and Zinédine Zidane (2016, 2017, 2018) have replicated.

• In 2014 Ancelotti also became the fifth coach to win the trophy with two clubs; Ottmar Hitzfeld (Borussia Dortmund1997, Bayern 2001), Ernst Happel (Feyenoord 1970, Hamburg 1983), José Mourinho (Porto 2004, Internazionale2010) and Jupp Heynckes (Real Madrid 1998, Bayern 2013) had previously achieved the feat.

Goalscoring records• Lionel Messi became the first player to score five goals in a match in Barcelona's 7-1 win against Bayer Leverkusenon 7 March 2012, a feat matched by Shakhtar Donetsk's Luiz Adriano at BATE Borisov on 21 October 2014. Fourteenmore players, also including Messi and Robert Lewandowski twice, have scored four times in a game, most recentlyOlivier Giroud for Chelsea at Sevilla in the 2020/21 group stage. That was the fourth quadruple in succession to bescored away from home after Bayern's Serge Gnabry and Lewandowski (group stage v Tottenham and Crvenazvezda respectively) and Josip Iličić (Atalanta v Valencia, round of 16 second leg) all achieved the feat in 2019/20.

• Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 67 goals in the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds, more than any otherplayer. Messi is second on 47 goals, ahead of Lewandowski (24), Thomas Müller (23), and Karim Benzema, RaúlGonzález and Andriy Shevchenko (all 18).
