The latest chapter in the Liverpool-Real Madrid rivalry will be written on Wednesday evening, when the continental foes collide in Wednesday's Champions League blockbuster.
Liverpool:
The Reds are in scintillating form under Arne Slot, boasting a perfect 12 points from their opening four Champions League matches. Their 4-0 thrashing of Bayer Leverkusen on matchday four solidified their place at the top of Group A and kept their flawless record intact. Domestically, Mohamed Salah continues to be the talisman, netting a brace in Liverpool's 3-2 win over Southampton to maintain their position at the top of the Premier League. However, despite their strong form, Liverpool have struggled in recent encounters with Real Madrid, failing to win any of their last eight meetings, including two painful defeats in the 2018 and 2022 Champions League finals. This match offers a chance for revenge, as Liverpool looks to end their winless streak against the Spanish giants.
Real Madrid:
The reigning champions have not had the smoothest of rides in the 2024-25 Champions League, suffering two losses already in the group stage—a 1-0 defeat to Lille and a 3-1 home loss to AC Milan. They currently sit in 18th place in the standings, which leaves them in a precarious position for the knockout rounds. However, Real Madrid have bounced back in La Liga, winning their last two matches 7-0 combined, including a 4-0 thrashing of Osasuna. Despite their recent form, Madrid’s history at Anfield is far from favorable, having lost 5-2 in the last UCL meeting between these sides in 2022. Real will need to regroup and find their best form to avoid suffering a third group-stage defeat, a scenario they've never experienced in the Champions League.
