Ancelotti should have won the match, because however currently their position has been very difficult in the UCL standings this season, 2 wins and 2 losses have shown their very poor consistency and even many parties are starting to doubt Madrid capacity to compete for the UCL trophy this season, we can say that the match will be a crucial match. so I think Madrid will definitely play with high intensity because they really need points at the moment to improve their position, while Liverpool, who are unbeaten in the UCL, of course, will also try to maintain their unbeaten status in the match later, besides that I think, Liverpool will probably play more carefully, considering that they are still in a fairly safe position in the current standings.
Both teams have so far had inversely proportional performances but still they will try their best to win the match later, especially Madrid, Ancelotti should soon be able to find the right formula to overcome the incohesion of their current front line and also the weak defense.
Last seasons hero Carlos Ancelotti is currently the biggest zero we call this is soccer in last season as we have double for the Real Madrid everyone is calling him one of the best but due to injuries and having poor start of the season suddenly things take quick changes, and now he is under huge pressure even on brink of losing his job which could be not ideal for the Real Madrid and boss Ancelotti because he deserves time to fix problems.
Match against Liverpool going to be important for them because in case of lost they can face problems for staying into top 8 even most chances they can lose their chance which create more problems for them because then playing qualifiers are surely more problematic for them and in this schedule surely not easy for adjusting players and having better results from these players which already have enough workload due to this new format.
It is undeniable if Ancelotti currently in a difficult situation because of the series of bad results they get, but firing the coach is also not a step that Madrid must take, because changing coaches in the middle of the season certainly does not guarantee that they will be better, player injuries and the inconsistency of the front line that Madrid currently has is the main cause of their problems, So I think it's good for Ancelotti to fix the problem quickly.
Liverpool vs Madrid will be a crucial match for both teams, but indeed the heavier burden is on the Madrid side, because after all they must be able to win the match in order to maintain and improve their chances in the UCL, because if they get a defeat again of course it will worsen their mentality and situation this season, So Ancelotti should now have to make adjustments and improvements in the squad in order to beat Liverpool in the match.
