Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has issued a Champions League warning to Liverpool.

The Frenchm💧an has told𓆏 the that if the two teams meet, Madrid will prevail and reach the last eight.

Liverpool qualified for the 🍨next stage as group winners, be༺ating Salzburg on Tuesday night.

The Spanish outfit came second behind PSG in their group and that could ℱmean a round of 16 showdown for Z💎idane and Jurgen Klopp.

Zidane isn’t fazed by the prospect of facing the Reds, however, and he  “If we plaꦑy Liver🍷pool, we will eliminate them! We can’t do anything about the draw though.”

A match between Madrid and Liverpool would c🐠𝓀ertainly be one not to miss.

Both sides🌳 are flying in their respective leagues and th𝓡e game would see a repeat of the 2017/18 Champions League final.

Madrid won on that occasion and🐈 Liverpool would be out for retribution if they were handed the chance to avenge the defeat🐬.

Zidane might have meant the comments to be somewhat toᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚngue in cheek, although Liverpool fans have ꦆtaken to Twitter.

🐽Some aren’t happy with his mention of Liverpool in his press 🅘conference and now hope the pair are drawn together.

Here is a selection of Tweets from Reds supporters on the back of comments from the Real Madrid bos🐈s:

I think if Madrid were to play Liverpool, L'pool would be out for revenge from the ꧃final in Kyiv.. dont be so confident Zidane!
