One of Real Madrid's shortcomings ahead of this match is that they cannot field a full team squad, several key players are injured and this will greatly affect their performance, especially in the defensive area. In addition, Real Madrid has also experienced 2 defeats in the UCL, this situation will make it difficult for Real Madrid because Liverpool has not been touched by defeat in the last 13 matches in all competitions. I am a little pessimistic that Real Madrid can bring home points at Anfield, especially since their front line is not as productive as last season, Mbappe has started to suffer a goal drought in the last four games, the situation is also getting worse after Rodrygo suffered an injury because they won over Osasuna.
In conditions like these, Real Madrid will find it difficult to win this match, key players such as Mbappe and Rodrygo will have to be absent when facing Arsenal later. I really doubt Real Madrid's performance without a full team with key players because Arsenal has proven that they are on fire in the English league and UCL this season.
Real Madrid needs players who can replace Rodrygo in defense so they don't get pressured by Arsenal's attacks, a lack of players is not a significant problem for a coach. But I still believe that Carlo Ancoletti will do his best in the UCL event even though many players are injured.
