Liverpool set for Anfield showdown as Mbappe leads Madrid charge

The game that was attracting so much attention will be a kind of drama of the highest order. Xabi Alonso’s powerhouse will be taking on Arne Slot’s Reds, who are in dire straits. The Mersey siders after a string of disappointing results will be looking to out of their blues while the situation might be entirely reversed for Madrid who are on fire. In Europe, they remain unbeaten and in La Liga, they are performing brilliantly.

Before the game, everyone’s eyes were on Kylian Mbappe. Indeed that’s understandable as he is the one who makes changes and scores. Besides, Mbappe is in excellent physical condition and will be in the starting line-up. He contributed significantly to the 4-0 rout of Valencia with a brace and his efforts were well accompanied by Bellingham and Vinicius Jr.

The Anfield squad is fraught with injuries. Alisson Becker, Giovanni Leoni, and Jeremie Frimpong have been dropped and Curtis Jones is back at practice. Liverpool’s dapper backline will be under the greatest pressure from the speed and accuracy of Mbappe.

Where to Watch Liverpool vs Real Madrid?

The​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ game will be live telecast in India at 1:30 AM IST (Nov 5) on Sony Sports Network and SonyLIV. Just imagining these players go out and put on their best show for the world to see is truly a wonderful spectacle. It would not be a false claim to state that their brilliance on the ball could well be the ones that determine which team moves on from the group ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌stage.

Author’s Opinion:

It looks like this encounter is much more than a mere fixture of the group stage, rather it is a declaration match. Madrid’s unmatched understanding against Liverpool’s battling spirit will be the main theme of the game. If Mbappe keeps up his present streak, Madrid, once again, will be the ones to show why they are the kings of the Champions League to the rest of ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌Europe.
