Liverpool vs Real Madrid: match preview
It's a rainy old evening on Merseyside as one of European football's biggest fixtures comes to life. They don't come much more exciting than Liverpool vs Real Madrid, but in recent years this rivalry between two of the most storied teams in this competition's history has become very one-sided. Los Blancos have crushed the Reds' Champions League ambitions over three of the past five seasons, and though Liverpool are in the midst of a turbulent campaign, things haven't been looking especially rosy for Madrid of late either.
Jurgen Klopp's men may have feared the worst when the draw was made in early November. At that moment, Liverpool had already tasted defeat five times, whereas Real had lost just once in all competitions. Fast forward three months and the chasm appears to have narrowed significantly.
The Reds' stodgy midfield has been a problem all season, and Klopp's latest attempt at a fix appears to be cutting it out of the buildup process altogether. It's a back to basics move that ditches the much-maligned possession-based approach for something resembling the heavy-metal football of old, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson once again being encouraged to link up directly with Mohamed Salah and the forwards.
Meanwhile, a run of three defeats in six have put Carlo Ancelotti's men on the back foot domestically, but they’ve since strung together back-to-back victories for the first time this calendar year. However, the form and fitness of Karim Benzema, for so many years the scourge of Liverpool on big European nights, is an ongoing concern.
The Frenchman, who's only scored one goal from open play in 2023, was rested at the weekend, and the resurgence of Marco Asensio has given Ancelotti a decision to make. For the first time since he joined the club more than a decade ago, Benzema's place in the team is under threat.
Vinicius Jr. has emerged as Madrid's main man, and he seems to love playing against Liverpool. The Brazilian winger has scored three in three appearances against the Reds, including the decisive goal in last season's UCL final.
