When's the draw?

The quarter-final draw for the Champions League takes place on Friday at 11am GMT.

There are seven possible opponents Liverpool can be paired with: Ajax, Barcelona, Juventus, Manchester City, Manchester United, Porto or Tottenham Hotspur.

The two last-eight games will be contested on April 9/10 and April 16/17.

Here's how Opta saw that fine night's work...

Three minutes of time added on to be played...

Sadio Mane is now Liverpool's outright highest away goalscorer in European Cup/Champions League history.

Firmino shoots from the edge of the box. Straight at Neuer.

With his first ever Champions League goal, Virgil van Dijk has scored three in his last four games for Liverpool in all competitions - more than he managed in his opening 55 appearances for the Reds (2).

Chance!

Liverpool hit Bayern on the counter again and Salah looks certain to score - but he's denied by a last-gasp challenge from Sule.

Fabinho thwarts Coman's surge into the area with a tackle he simply had to get right.

Liverpool threaten again from a corner. This time Sule needs to hack clear from Mane's header back into the six-yard box.

Neuer has to claw Alexander-Arnold's corner wide with Matip waiting to nod in

Gnabry gets behind Robertson and flashes a low ball right across the face of Liverpool's goal.

Matip eases Lewandowski off the ball just inside the area as he looks to shoot.

Liverpool break at speed from a Bayern corner and Salah has a drive thwarted by Neuer.

What are the odds?

Here's how BetVictor see it...

The tale of the first-half tape, as told by Opta...

It looks like a big chance for Bayern goes begging as Lewandowski goes clean through a prods just wide of Alisson's post - but the flag goes up belatedly.

Alaba has a go from free-kick from range, but it's dealt with fairly routinely by Alisson.

Crucial, crucial interception from Robertson to stop Lewandowski reaching Gnabry's cross on the edge of the six-yard box.

Chance!

Liverpool spring a counter at pace and Mane and Robertson exchange a one-two before the latter has a drive beaten away by Neuer.

Sadio Mane has scored nine goals in his last 10 games for Liverpool in all competitions.

A man bang in form.

Stat

No Liverpool player has scored more away goals in European Cup/Champions League history than Sadio Mane - six, level with Steven Gerrard and Roberto Firmino.

After a tentative period in the contest, Firmino pounces on a loose ball 20 yards from goal and cracks a half-volley not too far wide of Neuer's near post.

Henderson goes down again - much to the ire of the Bayern fans - due to the same foot issue as earlier; however, now it does look like he'll have to come off.

Lewandowski goes down under a challenge from Van Dijk inside the box. The hosts - and their fans - want a penalty, but the referee isn't interested.

With the Reds down to 10 men as Henderson continues to get treatement, Firmino misplaces a pass across the edge of his own area. It rolls for Thiago, who scoops over.

The captain comes back on during the break in play.

Jordan Henderson is getting some treatment. Not entirely sure what the issue is, but doesn't look like he's going to need to come off.

Still waiting for the game to settle here, but there's certainly a bit of a din inside the stadium.

Liverpool fans doing their bit up in the top tier of the stand behind Alisson's goal.

Here come the teams...

Liverpool fans have certainly been making themselves heard in Munich over the last couple of days - and none more so than at the Boss Night event in the city centre this afternoon. Take a quick look at what it was like in our video below.

A reminder on UEFA's teamsheets handed out here at the Allianz that Andy Robertson would miss the first leg of the quarter-final if he gets booked tonight and Liverpool progress...

A last word from you...

My birthday today... if I could have one present? A Liverpool win please. YNWA.
Pete

Today is the Mo Salah day when his continual efforts come to deserved fruition, he may even get a hat-trick!
Jack

I am a Liverpool fan from Nigeria, I see Liverpool going through on away goals 2-2. And I see us playing against Juve in the quarter-finals.

Going to be an extremely tight match but have huge confidence in the Reds! Looking forward to watching it at Anfield later on tonight! Come on Reds!
Cam

So glad VVD is back! Yet again he will make the difference in a tough but great game. I don't think he'll score but I think we'll see Mo score an outrageous goal and Mane to assist.

Away days

This club was made for special nights in Europe and Liverpool's Champions League run last season gave us many - with perhaps none more memorable than this one...

'We've conquered all of Europe...'

Alisson v Neuer

There'll be an elite goalkeeper at each end of the pitch tonight as Alisson Becker and Manuel Neuer protect the nets of Liverpool and Bayern respectively.

Alisson was asked about Neuer at the pre-match press conference on Tuesday and revealed his admiration for the German.

"I cannot compare myself with Neuer - he is one of the best in the last 10 years. Maybe he is the best one," said the Reds stopper.

"He has won everything and I am just starting out. He is a reference for me and a great guy as well. Playing against him is a pleasure for me and a dream come true."

Like those odds?

Here's how BetVictor see things...

Bayern - 5/4         
Draw - 12/5
Liverpool - 12/5

Your say

More of your comments and predictions coming in...

Always confident when the Red men play, of course - but tonight I'm predicting a tight match, with Liverpool scoring first half, Munich equalising in the second. 1-1 full-time. Job done. Oh, and we'll draw Man Utd in the quarters. YNWA.
Anton

I am looking forward to this game, it will be difficult because Bayern Munich will come out with a real fight and they are in form. But if we take our chances we will progress. I predict 2-2.
Anik

I'm just looking forward to the game, and I can't wait. I'm happy that VVD is back in action, and I'm more optimistic of an away or more goals!

Klopp's plan

We sat down with the gaffer at Melwood before Liverpool departed for Germany, to get his take on exactly what the Reds must do to eliminate Bayern and be in the Champions League quarter-final draw.

"If we are at our best we can be exceptional," he told us. "But we have to be, actually - if we play a normal game there we have no chance and then we should go out.

"But if we can push ourselves in a special mood and play a proper football game, then we have a proper chance and that's all I need."

Watch the full interview with Klopp via LFCTV GO below.

'Like a final'

The build-up to the tie through Bayern eyes...

View from the opposition

Here's what Bayern are saying ahead of the second leg...

Niko Kovac

"If we want to go through, we have to win. There can be no 0-0s. But we will have the kind of support in the stadium that we have not seen for a long time."

Manuel Neuer

"I think we are in for a more attacking game than we saw at Anfield. The tension in penalty shootouts is a whole different thing to football matches; you cannot train for things like that, which is why we don't bother."

James Rodriguez

"All of their players have great quality so you cannot focus on any individual player... Liverpool has very fast players who love it when they can find space on the pitch. We have to play a perfect game in order to progress but I do think we have good chances of going through to the next round."

Van Dijk's verdict on Bayern

Back from suspension, you won't be surprised to learn Virgil van Dijk is looking forward to this game. The Dutchman has been speaking to UEFA about the clash, stopping Robert Lewandowski, and aiming to get back to the final...

Your say

You've been sending in your comments about the big game and it seems Reds fans are feeling confident...

I think we will win. We have to play calmly, with desire and passion, and patiently. Hopefully we will score and win the game. YNWA.
Phillip

We need an early goal but I'll settle for the first one. That would force Bayern to play more attacking football and give us a good chance to counter-punch.
Harrison

Come on Reds, you can do this. Go out there and show them what you can do and make us proud.

For Bayern, Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Muller are suspended plus Arjen Robben and Corentin Tolisso are long-term injury absentees.

More positively for the Bundesliga giants, coach Niko Kovac is hopeful of having both David Alaba and Kingsley Coman at his disposal after they missed the past two league fixtures.
