Real Madrid is indeed very superior when viewed from head to head. And actually Real Madrid also looks superior if we look at the depth of the Real Madrid squad, although it is not much different from the depth of the Liverpool squad, which also has quality that is not much different. But Real Madrid's inconsistent condition this season makes us hesitate to choose them. So choosing Liverpool is also the choice that many people will choose. And with the record of not losing in the UCL this time, it will make us believe more in Liverpool's superiority. But don't forget that this is Real Madrid. Where they can sometimes bounce back very quickly and beat any opponent no matter how strong.
There is a belief among fans about Real Madrid being very difficult to beat in the Champions League so far and that is a miracle that no other team has. Real Madrid are often lucky and able to recover from difficult moments in a match, but I don't think so this season. So far, Real Madrid is often referred to as the king of comebacks where they fell behind first but won at the end, but it is true that this season some people have doubted the consistency of their performance.
I tend to agree that Liverpool is more consistent than Real Madrid regarding performance, but on paper Real Madrid is superior in many ways, including squad depth. Ancelotti is an experienced coach compared to Arne Slot, but I really don't want to doubt Arne Slot even though this is his first season for Liverpool.
