Real Madrid continues the defense of its title of European champion and, this evening, plays the fifth of the eight matches which make up the first phase of the new format of the Champions League (9 p.m.). It will be a big match and an important challenge for Ancelotti’s men, who face the competition and Premier League leader at Anfield, who are eight points ahead of Manchester City.
Our team is tackling a duel of the highest demands against one of the title contenders and opponent in the finals of the Thirteenth and the Fourteenth. The objective is to give continuity to the good form of the team, which has largely won its last two matches (4-0 against health and 0-3 against Leganes). The task will not be easy against the only team to have won the first four matches of the competition. Bayer Leverkusen (4-0), Leipzig (0-1), Bologna (2-0) and Milan (1-3) were his opponents.
“We are confident against a very demanding opponent,” said Ancelotti. Here is the list of summoned players by the Italian coach to secure a third victory in the Champions League. Lucas Vázquez returns, but not Vini Jr., who was diagnosed with biceps femoris injury of the left leg.
The adversary’s forces
Liverpool are approaching this meeting in great form. Our opponent goes 14 games without defeat, including 13 victories. His record this season is 16 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, precisely at Anfield against Nottingham Forest. Salah is its top scorer with 12 goals. A big match awaits us at Anfield.
