Jürgen Klopp's men are aiming to reach a third Champions League final in the last five seasons.
Liverpool have won all five of their away games in Europe this season, winning by an aggregate of 15-5.
The Reds have won the first leg of a European tie by a 2-0 scoreline on 15 occasions. They have never been eliminated.
This will be the 50th meeting between Liverpool and a team from Spain – their most against any nation. They have won 19 times, with 13 draws and 17 losses.
Sadio Mane has now scored 14 goals in the knockout stages of the Champions League – the joint-most by an African player, along with Didier Drogba.
The Reds are three goals short of recording 150 in European competition under Klopp.
Klopp's side have scored in 39 of their last 40 matches as the away team, only failing to find the net at Leicester City back in December.
Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 12 matches away from Anfield, winning 11.
