A draw would not be surprising, but it would not be good for Madrid. I think Liverpool will still be safe even with a draw. but a different situation will happen to Madrid who will try hard to get a win. Madrid did not get good enough results in the Champions League, they will definitely try to get the best results in the remaining matches even though they have to fight very hard. it is clear that it will not be easy to win at Liverpool's home with Liverpool's current performance. a big challenge for Ancelotti and proves how Madrid's strength is not yet exhausted.
If Liverpool draws with Real Madrid, then Ancelotti must prepare additional energy to advance to the last 16 through the play-offs. If Real Madrid loses, then Liverpool should be considered as the favorite candidate to win the title this season. We realize that there is a lot at stake for Los Blancos in the match, and the course of the match is certain to be troublesome for both teams. With the new match taking place after the international break, it is still very difficult to predict the readiness of both teams. What is clear for now, Ancelotti and Arne Slot hope that their players who defend the country can return in good condition.
Real Madrid's journey in the Champions League looks so difficult this season, they face clubs that are quite tough to qualify for the last 16, if they experience a 3rd defeat, their position will be even more threatened because they have to fight again in the play-off round, it will make Real Madrid's schedule even tighter this season. I also don't think Liverpool will back down to Real Madrid in this match and if they can beat Real Madrid, it will reduce the competition in the UCL if Real Madrid does not qualify when they have to compete in the play-off round.
It will not be that interesting if Real Madrid leaves UCL in this early stage, but don't you think that it would be good news for other clubs because the mighty has fallen. However, I don't think that it will be possible for Real Madrid not to qualify into the next round, because I believe Ancelotti will take this match very serious and his players very personal. When it comes to very important matches like this, Real Madrid knows how to smuggle their way out to victory. But the problem now is that will Liverpool fold their arms and accept defeat at home.
