It is clear that Liverpool are favourites in the upcoming game, but this does not mean that they will try to take the full three points. They have practically guaranteed themselves a place in the top 8, why should they strain themselves/risk if a draw suits them just fine? There is no difference between 1st or 3rd-4th-5th place. In parallel, every point in the Premier League is worth all the gold, I think that they are focusing primarily on the Premier League now.
You may not see the need for the strain for three points but for Liverpool it doesn't just end at the three points and staying at the top of the table but setting a record is also part of it all , so they can possibly decide to strain to get the complete three points and have a Fri feet at the top of the table while they also attempt pitching a record with the new UCL format. except the the premier league gets placed above the UCL for Liverpool then we could anticilatsßv
Liverpool current condition is certainly very supportive to get 3 points from Real Madrid. But personally I will not underestimate Madrid because we have to remember in the past when Liverpool was favored but it backfired which ended in defeat with an aggregate of 6-2. At least with the new format Liverpool did not play Leg 1 and 2. Real Madrid game is unstable and this is the right time for Arne Slot to design a strategy to beat Ancelotti.
Liverpool have been doing well since the season began, because after Klopp's departure and the arrival of a new coach, he has been performing well and winning games in the league and the Champions League. Real Madrid are good, and even when they play poorly in the league, they usually do well in the Champions League. This does not mean that because Liverpool is in good shape this season, they will have opportunities to defeat Real Madrid in the UCL as well. But with how madrid are today and having many players who are hurt, Liverpool can have the chance and defeat madrid, but he won't be so easy to win madrid in the ucl, because they have already lost two matches in the ucl and they will try to win the remaining matches so that they can get the opportunity to qualifying to next round.
Ancelotti knows how to play large clubs in the UEFA Champions League, and I am confident that even if Liverpool defeats Madrid, he will not win by more than one goal, and they will most likely draw. Liverpool are at the top of the league table, and even UCL they are better shape, and they will strive to keep their records intact. Let's see how the game ends after the international break, because the game will be tough.
