Liverpool meet Real Madrid in a blockbuster league phase encounter in 2025-26 UEFA Champions League.
Victory could move Liverpool into the top eight, whilst Real Madrid can go top if results elsewhere go in their favour.

Stat Attack
- Liverpool have won one of their last nine meetings against Real Madrid (W1, D1, L7).
- Real Madrid have lost two of their last seven visits to Liverpool at Anfield (W4, D1, L2).
- Liverpool are yet to claim consecutive home victories against Real Madrid.
- Two of Liverpool’s eight goals in the league phase were scored by Virgil van Dijk.
- Five of Real Madrid’s eight goals in the league phase were scored by Kylian Mbappe.
Prediction
Having clinically dispatched Aston Villa at the weekend, Liverpool now need to take the positives of their attacking display and try to score first, otherwise this could be an uphill struggle such is Real Madrid’s quality.
Real meanwhile thumped Valencia in a clinical display and with their attacking quality, it is hard to bet against them if they can get control of the game early on, but they will be wary of Liverpool after the Reds got only their second win in eight games so will be under pressure on their own turf.
As much as Liverpool will try and take the fight to Real, I really just can’t see the visitors losing this on current form.
Prediction: Liverpool 1-3 Real Madrid
Result: Liverpool 1-0 Real Madrid
