88'
Liverpool are enjoying plenty of possession in these dying moments as they look to bow out in style. But they just cannot find a way through this Madrid defence.
86'
Lucas Vázquez enters the game and replaces Dani Carvajal.
Final change for the hosts with Vazquez replacing Carvajal.
84'
A. Tchouaméni enters the game and replaces T. Kroos.
Marco Asensio enters the game and replaces Vinícius Júnior.

After registering his 19th goal involvement in as many Champions League appearances, Vinicius makes way for Asensio.
82'
Rodrygo enters the game and replaces K. Benzema.
Dani Ceballos enters the game and replaces L. Modrić.
With Sunday's Clasico against Barcelona in mind, Ancelotti makes two changes. The first sees Modric make way for Ceballos.
Benzema is also given a rest, with Rodrygo taking his place.
78'
K. Benzema has scored a goal for Real Madrid! Assist by Vinícius Júnior.
BENZEMA!!! That should be that! 1-0 on the day, 6-2 on aggregate. The ball ricochets kindly for a sliding Vinicius, who scuffs his shot. However, the Brazilian recovers to flick it across for Benzema to tuck into the empty net.
After spurning his own opportunity to score, Vinicius recovered brilliantly to put the ball on a plate for Benzema.
77'
SHOOT! Liverpool neatly work their way into the Madrid box. But rather than pull the trigger, they attempt one pass too many and Militao eventually clears. Klopp is furious on the touchline.
73'
A. Oxlade-Chamberlain enters the game and replaces J. Milner.
Milner is given a well-earned rest as he goes off to be replaced by Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Minute
Description
71'
We are inside the final 20 minutes at the Bernabeu, where Madrid are well on course to book their place in the quarter-finals. That is assuming Liverpool do not produce a miraculous turnaround.
67'
The spirit of Istanbul would certainly come in handy for the Reds here. Who could forget that almighty turnaround in the 2005 final against Milan?! The Rossoneri were, of course, managed by a certain Ancelotti.
59'
It is just not happening for the Reds. Fabinho seeks out Salah with a ball down the line, but it has too much pace and runs behind for a goal kick.
57'
Roberto Firmino enters the game and replaces D. Núñez.
H. Elliott enters the game and replaces Diogo Jota.
Jota is also withdrawn as Elliott comes on in his place.
Liverpool make a double-change. The first sees Nunez make way for Firmino.
52'
Great defending! Vinicius latches onto Camavinga's throughball and looks to square it for Benzema, but Van Dijk gets across to clear in the nick of time. Although, the offside flag is later raised against the Brazil international.
48'
Liverpool make a positive start to the second half and Jota forces Carvajal into conceding a corner. However, the Reds are unable to capitalise as Fabinho's attempted centre evades everyone and goes behind for a goal kick.
46'
Madrid get things back under way in the second half.
45' +3
HALF-TIME: REAL MADRID 0-0 LIVERPOOL (5-2 AGG)
45' +1
Benzema's attempt deflects through to Alisson as we enter the first of two additional minutes at the end of this first half.
42'
Liverpool are pressing well high up the pitch, but without any success as of yet. Although, a goal before half-time would certainly make things interesting.
38'
There is a break in play as Nacho stays down following a tangle with Salah. It looked fairly innocent, but the Liverpool forward was asking for trouble as he left his foot in on the Madrid defender, who is soon back on his feet.
35'
At the other end, Vinicius gets the better of Alexander-Arnold and cuts inside onto his right foot. However, his low drive is straight at Alisson.
30'
We are still goalless after the opening half an hour at the Bernabeu. Although, it has been a thoroughly entertaining 30 minutes, played at a quick tempo and with both sides going for it.
26'
Attempting to recover from an offside position, Vinicius latches onto Benzema's threaded pass before drawing a save out of Alisson from a tight angle. But the flag eventually goes up on the far side.
13'
Madrid have a brilliant opportunity to potentially kill off the tie following a swift counter from a Liverpool corner. However, Benzema's touch is uncharacteristically poor and the Reds recover.
11'
The ball sits up kindly for Kroos to strike from distance. There is plenty of venom in his long-range effort, but Alisson holds.
9'
At the other end, Madrid put a neat move together and Kroos looks to square the ball across the box. However, it is just lacking the required accuracy and Milner clears.
3'
Liverpool have no option but to attack if they are to have any chance of turning this around. Milner's high cross is well-collected by Courtois, while Benzema strays offside when looking to latch onto a throughball at the other end.
1'
Referee Felix Zwayer blows his whistle and we're off and running at Santiago Bernabeu.
Following their emphatic 5-2 victory at Anfield three weeks ago, reigning champions Madrid have one foot in the quarter-finals. But can Liverpool become the first side in the competition's history to retrieve a three-goal deficit from the home leg in a knockout tie?
