Next week Real Madrid will face Liverpool at the Anfield, and the match will undoubtly be one of the hardest for Los Blancos since Xabi took over this big responsibility at the start of this season after he achieved a big legacy for Bundesliga side, Bayer 04 Leverkusen.

Acorrding to some insiders including Marca, Xabi has made a big decision about "not playing the pre-match session at the Anfield and choosing to complete thier own Businesses in Madrid instead of liverpool.

The final preparations are set to unfold with military precision. As planned, the team will conduct their last training session on home turf in Madrid at 11:00, a strategic choice that echoes the methods of the past. Following lunch, their journey begins with a 16:00 departure, their plane slicing through the sky to touch down in Liverpool at 17:35 local time.

Upon landing, the squad will split into two distinct groups. The majority of players and staff will proceed directly to settle into the INNSiDE by Meliá Liverpool hotel. Meanwhile, a smaller, crucial delegation—comprising manager Xabi Alonso and a single player—will detour straight to the iconic grounds of Anfield. Their mission is to fulfill the mandatory UEFA requirement: the pre-match press conference, where the first verbal volleys of the upcoming clash are often fired.
