The match between Bayern vs PSG will indeed be no less exciting than the Liverpool vs Real Madrid match. And actually Bayern and PSG both need points to improve their position and opportunities in the current phase. And PSG's position is actually much worse at the moment. But if Bayern loses to PSG in that match, Bayern and PSG's positions could change. I'm not sure which team to give preference to for this match. This is as difficult as predicting the Liverpool vs Real Madrid match.

Apart from that, I am also curious about the Sporting CP vs Arsenal match. because previously Sporting CP have could beat the giant from the premier league, namely Manchester City. And I'm curious whether Arsenal will have the same fate as Manchester City or not. It's just that there is something different about Sporting CP at the moment because they have lost their coach, Amorim, who preferred to move to Manchester United.

The new format implemented in the Champions League makes it a little difficult for Real Madrid to achieve maximum results because most of the teams they face are very difficult to beat. Previously they had lost two matches, this number may increase because in the remaining four matches they will face Liverpool and Atalanta. I am very skeptical that they can retain the title because their performance this season is very different from last season. After losing to Milan, they now have to fight hard to improve their position in the standings, but I am also very pessimistic that Real Madrid can win at Liverpool's headquarters.

Matchday 5 does feature a big clash between Liverpool and Madrid, but before that I would also like to make sure that there is a Bayern Munich vs PSG match as an opener among other matches. PSG are on the edge of uncertainty because if they lose 3 points to Bayern Munich there is no chance of qualifying for the playoffs. PSG are in 25th place which means there is very little chance of them lasting longer in the Champions League and requires Enrique's men to fight with full strength later at the Allianz Arena.

This season Real Madrid faced quite tough opponents in 8 matches and different while for previous seasons in the group stage Madrid faced weaker opponents than them that made Real Madrid undefeated in the group stage and always came out as champions in the group. However, this season is where Real Madrid's performance is tested whether they can defend the UCL title if they face tough clubs at the beginning to continue to advance to the next round.

You don't have to be nervous as a Madrid fan, Madrid have had more challenging situations worse than this especially those days of home and away games yet they pulled through. Given the pedigree and the calibre of players in Madrid, I'm not even moved by statistics been presented as Liverpool stance at the moment. That El classico game was a one off mistake that I believe won't repeat itself, at least we know the caliber of players currently in Barcelona and what they can do so I believe next time they will prepare better. Since you're optimistic about Real Madrid stands concerning the game, then you shouldn't be nervous as Madrid will do what they know how to do best.

Well everyone is entitled to their opinion and how they choose to analyzes the beautiful game of football. But on a more realistic view and judging by both team current forms and mood in the dressing room, Liverpool are more equipped to win Real Madrid. I don't know what is making some people think that Real Madrid will win at Anfield. But after taking my time to analyse the game and considering the current realities surrounding both teams Liverpool will come up with a comprehensive win against Madrid.

Although I know that football sometimes can surprise us, with unimaginable outcome of results. But this current Liverpool team has the ability to win Madrid than for Madrid to win them. The only place I agree with you is that Madrid can't retain the champions League title this season because they are not getting the results. Maybe the new champions League format is too much for them to absorb. So far only Liverpool and Barcelona are showing signs of being worthy of the champions League title this season.

This season Real Madrid faced quite tough opponents in 8 matches and different while for previous seasons in the group stage Madrid faced weaker opponents than them that made Real Madrid undefeated in the group stage and always came out as champions in the group. However, this season is where Real Madrid's performance is tested whether they can defend the UCL title if they face tough clubs at the beginning to continue to advance to the next round.

Liverpool have the advantage of being the host, apart from their slightly more consistent performance than Real Madrid at this time. Player injuries have affected Real Madrid chances of getting full points, and perhaps Liverpool will take advantage of this to get revenge and improve their previous meeting record. Regardless, beating Real Madrid is not an easy job, Arne Slot needs to work hard to do it. The match feels very important for Real Madrid, losing points will make their steps towards the last 16 even more difficult.

No one expected Arne Slott to be able to do his job very well, he managed to lead Liverpool to the top of the Premier League and Champions League standings. Real Madrid will be a tough test for them, and it can be said that the match is basically difficult to predict.

To be fair Liverpool had a season where they won a lot more games, whereas Real Madrid hasn't been that great all season long so far. If we want exact numbers, Liverpool ended up winning 9 out of 11 games and made 28 points during that time at premier league, with 4 out of 4 games won at UCL as well. Whereas, Real Madrid had 12 games and they won only 8 of them and have 27 points, in la liga, so Liverpool made 1 more point in 1 less game at a much harder league, and at UCL we see Real Madrid be ranked 18th with 2 wins and 2 losses, when Liverpool is ranked first there.

So as we can see, both in league and in champions league, Liverpool is doing much better and that is why Liverpool is considered as the heavy favourites here, and I am guessing they will win too. Doesn't mean Real can't win, we could definitely see Real Madrid winning as well, we are just not going to end up seeing anything that simple at all right away, we need to make sure things are looking a bit better for real first but a shocking result or unexpected results do happen and this could be one of those.

This season Real Madrid faced quite tough opponents in 8 matches and different while for previous seasons in the group stage Madrid faced weaker opponents than them that made Real Madrid undefeated in the group stage and always came out as champions in the group. However, this season is where Real Madrid's performance is tested whether they can defend the UCL title if they face tough clubs at the beginning to continue to advance to the next round.

Based on what we see, Liverpool's performance in the last 5 matches has been quite consistent in winning and Real Madrid has lost 2 times in the last 5 matches. In the Champions League, Real Madrid's performance is also a little different this season, unlike previous seasons which were able to achieve a convincing victory in the first round of the UCL, but if you look at the statistics of their meetings so far in the UCL, Madrid has always won matches against Liverpool, let's see if there will be a surprise in their meeting this time.

This season Real Madrid faced quite tough opponents in 8 matches and different while for previous seasons in the group stage Madrid faced weaker opponents than them that made Real Madrid undefeated in the group stage and always came out as champions in the group. However, this season is where Real Madrid's performance is tested whether they can defend the UCL title if they face tough clubs at the beginning to continue to advance to the next round.

Considering rhe records that most times Madrid and Liverpool met in the UCLA Madrid has always won is the reason this time I foresee that a draw would be possible seeing that Madrid isn't in that their very perfect form as they used to, meanwhile last season Madrid had an unbeaten run in the group stage, so they had a more successful group stage last season than they are about having this season even if the variation is much in the number of games to play getting beyond this stage.

I don't understand a little bit about the basis of the parameters that Madrid should be favored over Liverpool, especially if we refer to Madrid's 2 matches in the Champions League. Madrid previously lost narrowly at Lillie's home, then fell at the Santiago Bernabeu by Milan. in the 5th round of the preliminary phase Madrid will visit Liverpool's headquarters, unfortunately some of their core players must be absent due to injury. as we all know, if Madrid needs full points against Liverpool. even so, Carlo Ancelotti's team still has the probability of bringing home 3 points to Santiago Bernabeu, unfortunately it won't be easy as we discussed. we can assume that Carlo Ancelotti will likely be aiming for victory for his team even though they are playing at Liverpool's headquarters. unfortunately, Rodrygo, Vazquez, Carvajal, Tchouameni, Alaba and Courtois did not participate in strengthening Real Madrid in this match. I think it's quite hard for Don Carlo to formulate a strategy so that his team can get full points, but in any case Real Madrid does need a win to determine the remaining matches they will play. In Liverpool's camp, this match is equally important when they will host City after meeting Madrid. As we generally know, Liverpool had a bad meeting based on H2H when playing against Madrid. As a new coach, Arne Slot certainly wants his team to win this match, especially since they are playing at home. They have the opportunity to defeat Madrid, plus Liverpool is on the right track. So, if Liverpool is slightly more favored, it is natural if we refer to both teams. Regarding the results of this match, that is another matter, we will find out when the 5th session of the Champions League qualifiers is held again.

We just need to see if in the end Liverpool are able to carry out a revenge mission or not because indeed for now Liverpool's condition is more stable but when talking about the h2h of the two clubs then Madrid is still very superior for now and that cannot be denied.

I personally feel that this will be a good match to wait for but when talking about the results and expectations of who will win in this match then I will remain in Madrid as the choice to be the winner.

Even though this seems imposing but I'm still not too sure if Liverpool can end their phase that has never been able to win against Madrid in the last few matches. Although currently Slot is a new coach but the majority of players remain the same so I still have high hopes for Madrid.

Real Madrid have a good record against Liverpool in the Champions League, but I tend to doubt that they can maintain that record this season. Liverpool's performance this season has really improved under the guidance of Arne Slot, but this is not a definite benchmark that they can stop the series of defeats when they meet Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Considering rhe records that most times Madrid and Liverpool met in the UCLA Madrid has always won is the reason this time I foresee that a draw would be possible seeing that Madrid isn't in that their very perfect form as they used to, meanwhile last season Madrid had an unbeaten run in the group stage, so they had a more successful group stage last season than they are about having this season even if the variation is much in the number of games to play getting beyond this stage.

It may seem like an exaggeration, but Liverpool doesn't seem like they're a little bit superior, they seem like they're clearly superior. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I see right now. Even though Liverpool usually lose to Real Madrid in the Champions League, I believe that this will be the time when they will win. Liverpool will slow down Real Madrid with their intense passing game and they will create good chances.

What we are not realizing about Real Madrid is the injuries as well. Everyone jumps on ship to say whatever bad thing they want to say about them, but they have/had a lot of injuries this season. Some of them recovered, but they had a first month that was terrible and there were like 10 players missing, now we are seeing some other players missing as well, they are really having trouble.

I do not know what kind of training they do to cause this much trouble for players neither, but I believe that they need to be careful about their training, they need to focus on recovery for the players because they already train a lot, so recovery is a lot more important after games and if they could do that then we could see them have a much better result, these injuries are the only reason they are this bad. If they didn't have these injuries and all of Real Madrid players were fully healthy then I guarantee you that they will be able to beat everyone.
