Unfortunately for Liverpool, that no longer appears to be the case, despite the severity of the injury is still unclear.

Marco Asensio came off the bench to replace Ronaldo, with the game ending 2-2.

Goals from former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi either side of a Ronaldo equaliser had given Barcelona a 2-1 lead. Gareth Bale levelled the game late on to secure a point for Real.

Madrid travel to Sevilla on Wednesday night before games against Celta Vigo and Villarreal in preparation for the final in Kiev.
