Real Madrid trained at Anfield a day before their highly anticipated clash with Liverpool, preparing to put in a strong performance despite the tough challenge ahead.
With Vinicius Junior absent, Kylian MbappƩ is set to take center stage, as the French star joined Real Madrid specifically for high-pressure games like this one. He is eager for this to be his first major night with the club.
According to El Nacional, MbappĆ© told his coach, Carlo Ancelotti, that he was especially excited to face a particular Liverpool player. “I want to play against Alexander-Arnold,” MbappĆ© revealed. He acknowledged Arnoldās offensive prowess but also noted that the English full-back frequently leaves defensive gaps, making the match-up an enticing challenge.
For Liverpool, Arnold will not start due to recent physical discomfort, as confirmed by his coach, Arne Slot. However, Arnoldās participation in the game remains a possibility, as he could come on in the second half, depending on how the match develops.
