Liverpool vs Real Madrid match review, 3:00 a.m. November 5: Happy days pass quickly

VHO - Commenting on the match Liverpool vs Real Madrid, Champions League qualifying round, the confidence that was kindled by the Anfield team can easily be extinguished after just a few days.

Liverpool vs Real Madrid form

The dark days have come to an end for coach Arne Slot and his team. The 2-0 victory against Aston Villa ended a streak of 5 consecutive defeats in the domestic arena, and at the same time significantly improved the spirit of Liverpool's stars before the "summit" meeting with Real Madrid.

But the fighting spirit of the Anfield team has clearly been ignited since last weekend. Instead of the usual superficial and bland style, Van Dijk and his teammates entered the game with determination, rushing forward to press fiercely at high altitude, putting great pressure on the opponent to make mistakes and then launching the finishing blow.

Of course, it is also necessary to acknowledge that Liverpool was somewhat lucky when the post saved Mamardashvili's goal in the 5th minute. Because if they conceded an early goal, the Reds would easily lose their spirit and fall into a state of being unable to attack or defend as usual.

In addition, Aston Villa also played below their potential due to the pressure from the stands and the situations of being surrounded right from their own field. Despite possessing impressive form, the visitors from Birmingham seemed not to be mentally prepared enough for the scenario of the home team going into a fierce battle.

But will Liverpool continue to dominate the game with a similar style when welcoming Real Madrid? Compared to Villa, the Spanish Royal team is clearly at a higher level and has a higher level of character. The bright stars under coach Xabi Alonso are able to escape the pressure smoothly and create sharp counterattacks.

Liverpool will not easily defeat Real at Anfield

Real Madrid's current form is also very stable. In La Liga, the Bernabeu team is flying high at the top with 30 points after 11 rounds, 5 points ahead of arch-rival Barcelona. Meanwhile, in the past 3 rounds of the Champions League qualifying round, Los Blancos have also won all 3 matches, scoring 8 and conceding 1 goal.

Before falling 0-2 at Anfield in the qualifying stage last season, Real Madrid were considered Liverpool's nemesis. The Madrid giants continuously brought sorrow to The Kop in encounters at the most prestigious arena in Europe, most notably the two finals of the 2017/18 and 2021/22 seasons.

In the context of still having to face many suspicious eyes, it will not be too surprising if the home team at Anfield once again has to suffer defeat against the battle-hardened army from the land of bullfighting.
