In that match, Real Madrid was indeed a bit hesitant to be favored to win because of the condition of Real Madrid itself at this time. In addition, from the level of team cohesion that Liverpool has, it is also still clear that Liverpool is still the best team that is quite strong at this time so that it will make Ancelotti a little dizzy in arranging the players they have because currently Real Madrid still has several injured players and that could be an obstacle for Real Madrid to be able to play well enough at Liverpool's home in the next match in the Champions League this season.
Real Madrid often come out on top when they are not favorites in certain matches, but maybe you are right that this season the match between Liverpool and Real Madrid will be won by Liverpool considering Real Madrid's performance is not good. Liverpool's performance so far is very good to challenge any opponent, after all, this is a home game they have to win instead of losing points.
I tend to believe Liverpool can secure a home win this season against Real Madrid, of course this is only because the two teams' performances are different. However, Real Madrid is a good team to hope for considering the depth of its squad, the results could be different from what we imagine today.
