The Reds’ season has been nearly perfect so far. The team leads the Premier League with an eight-point advantage over second-place Manchester City, with 10 wins in 12 matches.
In the Champions League, the scenario is even better. In four matches, Liverpool secured four wins and leads the competition outright, with the best defense alongside Arsenal, having conceded only 1 goal – the best defense is that of Inter Milan, who are yet to be breached.
Under the management of Arne Slot, the team started with a 3-1 win over Milan away, followed by a 2-0 victory over Bologna, a 1-0 win over RB Leipzig also away, and a 4-0 thrashing of the surprise team of last season, Bayer Leverkusen, at home. This campaign leaves Liverpool eight points ahead of the first team outside the qualification zone for the playoffs, PSG.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid is going through a different phase in both the competition and the season. In La Liga, the team is in second place with 30 points, four points behind leaders Barcelona, who have played one more game. In the Champions League, the situation is worse.
After opening with a 3-1 win over Stuttgart at home, the Merengues lost 1-0 to Lille in France, then bounced back with a 5-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund at Santiago Bernabéu, before losing again, this time 3-1 to Milan in the last round.
Although elimination is unlikely, the alarm is on: Carlo Ancelotti’s team is in 18th place with six points, three behind the first team in the top 8, Aston Villa, and only two points ahead of the first team outside the playoffs zone. Stay in the know with ToSport.
