Realistically, after knocking out Manchester City 5-1 on aggregate, you would now put Jurgen Klopp's side as second favourites behind Real to win the tournament - well, I would anyway.
Real have been there, done it and bought the T-shirt so they know what it takes to win the Champions League on a regular basis, and seeing Barcelona go out will give them an extra spring to think they can win it for a third straight year.
In a one-off game like the final in Kiev, I definitely think Liverpool can beat Real but, over two legs, it will be a lot harder and I hope they get someone else in the draw.
Who do Liverpool want? Roma or Bayern
From what I have seen of the teams that Liverpool could get next after their impressive win over Manchester City, Roma or Bayern Munich would be a good draw for them.
None of the remaining teams will be in their face like City were, so Liverpool are going to have far more of a tactical battle whoever they get, but Roma in particular have a slow tempo which would suit the way they play.
Roma would play a very calculated game to try to catch the Reds on the break and the Stadio Olimpico is an intimidating arena, but I still think Liverpool's energy would be too much for the Italian side.
By beating Barca, Roma have been the surprise package but, let's be honest, they are not a great team, just a good one that is in great form.
Bayern have to get past Sevilla on Wednesday in order to reach the semi-finals, and I would not say that it is a done deal.
Sevilla lost at home in the first leg of their quarter-final but they created numerous chances and it was quite ridiculous how many goals they could have scored, but didn't.
In the end, Bayern punished them because they have still got quality players, but they are not the side they were two or three years ago.
Real also have to finish the job in their quarter-final with Juventus but, after winning 3-0 in Turin last week, I think we can safely say they will go through.
