Unbeaten Liverpool faces off against the formidable Real Madrid in a Champions League showdown on Wednesday.
The Reds enter this match with an impeccable UEFA Champions League record this season and will seek to break their eight-match winless streak against the Spanish powerhouse.
Despite their reputation, Real Madrid has not had the best start to this year’s campaign, currently placed 18th in the standings. They experienced an unexpected defeat to Lille and a significant 3-1 loss at home to AC Milan. Nevertheless, Real Madrid is always a team to be reckoned with in Europe.
