The Reds enter the competition under the orders of Andoni Iraola, appointed at the beginning of June to replace Arne Slot. Their start to the Premier League delivered two 2-2 draws, at Newcastle then against Nottingham Forest, before a first success on Friday at Ipswich, 2-0, with a double from Alexander Isak. The transfer window redesigned the squad: Bradley Barcola arrived from Paris Saint-Germain for a record fee, when Mohamed Salah, Ibrahima Konaté and Andrew Robertson left the club. Fifth in the Premier League, Liverpool were knocked out in the quarter-finals by the Parisians in April.
The Colchoneros went the further of the two last season, eliminated in the semi-final by Arsenal. Diego Simeone, still in office, launched his La Liga with a 2-0 victory against Malaga, a 2-2 draw against Villarreal and a 3-1 success at Sevilla, where Álex Baena scored a double, before falling 3-0 at Bilbao on Saturday. Cristian Romero, Morten Hjulmand, Lee Kang-in and Alejandro Grimaldo joined Madrid this summer, with Antoine Griezmann leaving on a free.
The two teams faced each other on September 17, 2025, already at Anfield and already on the first day: Liverpool won 3-2, with a header from Virgil van Dijk in added time.
