Today’s Liverpool vs Real Madrid live stream stands to be the biggest game of the first phase of the Champions League, as the two giants of European football lock horns at Anfield in a mouthwatering clash.
Liverpool may be the only team with a 100% record in the league phase, but they also have a serious case of Real Madrid-itis. Not only have the Reds failed to win any of their past eight meetings with Los Blancos, they’ve lost seven of them — including two Champions League finals. Arresting the slide would be huge for new manager Arne Slot, especially with a crucial Premier League clash with Man City up next.
Real Madrid would no doubt argue otherwise, but despite the ugly contract dispute Mohamed Salah might just be the best player in the world right now, and he’s been just as deadly in a playmaking role as a goalscoring one. That said, Liverpool will be glad to not have to face Vinicius Junior, who’s terrorized them over the years. The Brazilian’s absence, however, will allow Kylian Mbappé to play in his preferred position out on the left, where he’s set to line up opposite Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The Reds come into the tie flying and eight points clear at the top of the Premier League. They also find themselves at the summit of the Champions League table after four successive victories since the start of the competition under its new format.
Los Blancos are struggling, however, and started the game week in 18th place with two victories and two defeats. They are now in desperate need of a win to help them move towards the top eight and automatic qualification for the last 16.
