Liverpool vs Real Madrid: Live Champions League Score and Match Updates
Liverpool hosts the competition’s most decorated club at Anfield tonight in a highly anticipated Champions League showdown.
This evening’s fixture pits Liverpool against Real Madrid in one of the standout ties of matchday four in the group stage.
It will be the seventh meeting between the sides in just four years. During that span, Real Madrid have won two finals and eliminated Liverpool in the 2022–23 round of 16. However, it was Liverpool who came out on top in last season’s clash — a game remembered for missed penalties by both Mohamed Salah and Kylian Mbappé.
Heading into tonight’s contest, both clubs come in with contrasting form. Liverpool claimed three points against Aston Villa at the weekend, but they have still dropped six of their last eight matches across all competitions.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, have been thriving. Under new manager Xabi Alonso, they’ve won 14 of their last 15 fixtures and arrive at Anfield after a dominant victory over Valencia, holding a five-point cushion at the top of LaLiga.
They are also among the five teams with a flawless Champions League record this season — though tonight may present their most challenging group-stage test yet.
Adding extra intrigue is the return of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who recently made the move from Liverpool to Spain. The defender is expected to face a frosty reception as he steps back onto the Anfield pitch.
