All eyes of global football fans are on Anfield, where Liverpool meets Real Madrid in a strong clash as part of the fourth round of the group stage in the UEFA Champions League for the 2025/2026 season. This match is a repeat of critical encounters between the two teams, adding a special thrill and competitiveness to the meeting.

Last season, Liverpool defeated Real Madrid 2-0 at Anfield, thanks to goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Gakpo, while both Kylian Mbappé and Mohamed Salah missed penalty kicks.

Historically, the two teams have met in three European finals, with Liverpool winning in 1981 by a single goal, while Real Madrid responded with victories in the finals of 2018 (3-1) and 2022 (1-0) through a goal from Vinicius Junior.

Liverpool comes into the match with high morale after a series of strong victories, having lost only two of their last 15 encounters against Spanish teams in the Champions League, achieving five consecutive wins.

On the other hand, Real Madrid struggles against English clubs, winning only two of their last nine encounters, including two losses to Arsenal last season.

Liverpool is participating in the Champions League for the 17th time in its history, having reached the final five times and winning the title in 2005 and 2019.

Real Madrid enters the tournament for the 30th time, a record it shares with Barcelona, and has qualified for the knockout stage in all previous editions of the tournament.

Statistics before the match indicate some remarkable numbers:

Mohamed Salah needs just two goals to become the first African player to score 50 goals in the Champions League.

Real Madrid won its first three matches in the group stage this season.

Jude Bellingham is one match away from becoming the youngest player to reach 50 matches in the history of the tournament.

The clash between Liverpool and Real Madrid serves as a true test of both teams' strength and their ability to compete for the title, where European experience meets English ambition in a summit that will attract the attention of football fans around the world.
