Marca Reveal Real Madrid Expected Team vs Liverpool

Real Madrid are set to face Liverpool at Anfield in a highly anticipated UEFA Champions League clash, arriving as LaLiga leaders and unbeaten in European competition this season. According to Marca, Los Blancos will likely field the same starting eleven that secured a 2-1 victory over Barcelona in La Liga last month.

The expected lineup features Thibaut Courtois in goal, with Federico Valverde at right-back, Éder Militão and Dean Huijsen forming the central defensive partnership, and Álvaro Carreras at left-back. In midfield, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga are set to anchor the center, while Arda Güler, Jude Bellingham, and Vinícius Júnior will provide creativity and attacking threat behind the front two. Kylian Mbappé is expected to lead the line, partnering with Vinícius in a dynamic attacking duo.

Manager Xabi Alonso made a notable decision to skip the customary pre-match training session at Anfield, opting instead to hold the session at Madrid’s Valdebebas base. Alonso explained that the move was intended to avoid the presence of numerous cameras and media personnel, emphasizing his focus on maintaining the team’s privacy and concentration ahead of the crucial fixture.

The predicted lineup reflects Madrid’s current form and tactical approach, with Valverde continuing his role at right-back and Bellingham operating in a more advanced position alongside Mbappé and Vinícius. The team’s cohesion and recent success suggest that Alonso is confident in this group to deliver another strong performance against Liverpool.

With both teams eager to assert their dominance in Europe, the clash promises to be a thrilling encounter, featuring some of the world’s top talents on the pitch at Anfield.
