It’s a decidedly magical evening that awaits lovers of
great footballthis Tuesday evening. While Paris Saint-Germain will challenge Bayern Munich for a clash at the top between the 2 best students of this phase of the League, another gala poster will be fought at the same time on the other side of the Channel. Liverpool and Real Madrid meet for a duel which will awaken some memorable memories, such as the finals of the 2018 and 2022 editions, won each time by the Spanish giant.
It is Real who will still start as favorites. Despite all its imperfections, Xabi Alonso’s team has found its cruising speed, with 6 consecutive victories in all competitions, including a convincing success in the Clasico against its rival Barcelona (2-1). A dynamic which bears the signature of a certain Kylian Mbappé, unstoppable scorer since the start of the season. For the Reds, it’s a different story. Beaten four times over the same period, the English champion is plagued by doubt. Formerly of the house, Xabi Alonso will approach this big match with a particular flavor, just like Trent Alexander-Arnold, the child of Liverpool who left his cocoon for Madrid last summer. Kylian Mbappé and Hugo Ekitike will meet on their side before the Blues training camp.
The expected compositions
Liverpool: Mamardashvili; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, MacAllister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Ekitike.
real Madrid : Courteous; Alexander-Arnold, Militao, Huijsen, Carreras; Valverde, Tchouameni; Guler, Bellingham, Vinicius Jr; Mbappe.
