I think Liverpool, Real Madrid's rival, is the team that is closer to winning right now. Because they are doing very well in the Premier League and are in a better position than Real Madrid in terms of injuries. Real Madrid has many injuries and their performance has been in decline lately. When Mbappé's selfish play is added to this, I think Liverpool will be better. Liverpool is focused on team play and tries to get results. The players are fighting for team play, not individual ones. This may be a reason why Real Madrid can be defeated.
Liverpool is indeed slightly superior, so far their performance under the tutelage of Arne Slot has been very good both in the Premier League and the UCL competition with these conditions it can be said that Liverpool is on top of Real Madrid and has the opportunity to win this match, but of course we also cannot underestimate Real Madrid who have a great history and experience in this competition they can get out of pressure and know what to do to beat Liverpool even with the current unstable conditions. This is a tactical battle for both experienced coaches.
I totally agree with you because countless times we've had Madrid seemingly looking as if they are in a tight position where they might find it difficulty in surviving, but overtime Madrid have always come up with tactical formations to help them to get a comeback, especially when it concerns UCL. Usually a team can be performing excellently when it comes to their domestic League just the way Liverpool is doing, but the champions league has a different connotation altogether, which is why most of us like to work with history and history has shown that Real Madrid has a different spirit when the champions League is involved and I see that on that day, they can do well to take a strong surprise on Liverpool.
