Recent form

Liverpool

A 2–0 victory over Aston Villa at the weekend finally halted a run of four straight league defeats, their worst run under head coach Arne Slot.

The performance did not just bring three points but it restored a degree of confidence and calm around the club. However, they have still only won two of the last eight games, losing six of them.

Real Madrid

Real Madrid, meanwhile, come into this tie as a side transformed under the guidance of Xabi Alonso.

Los Blancos sit five points clear at the top of La Liga and boast a flawless Champions League record so far this campaign. Their blend of youth and experience with Jude Bellingham, Vinícius Jr and Rodrygo driving the attack has made them as dangerous as ever.

In Europe, Madrid have looked assured and ruthless. Victories over Marseille, Kairat Almaty and Juventus have given them a 100% record.

They thrashed Valencia 4-0 in their most recent outing and have won six games straight, losing just once so far this season.

What’s been said?

Liverpool boss Arne Slot: “For me it’s hard to compare the games [last season/this]. They had a lot of injuries last season, Ancelotti did a great job, added a few players, that can always influence style maybe. I saw a very good Real Madrid and now the same, so they have always been a big force. How many semi-finals in the last few years? A very good team.”

Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso: “It’s a clasico of Europe. LFC because of their history, one of the games the fans look forward to seeing. Trent and myself have our history here and it is always great to come to a place where they have loved you so much. We want a result.”
