Liverpool’s start to the 2024-25 season under Arne Slot has exceeded everyone’s wildest expectations, to say the least.
The Dutchman has won 15 of his 17 games in charge of the Reds across all competitions, spearheading them to the top of the Premier League and UEFA Champions League standings.
Real Madrid – who the Reds face next in Europe – haven’t been at their best this season as they continue to struggle with injuries and inconsistency.
But it appears as if the reigning European champions have received a massive injury boost ahead of their trip to Anfield.
Three Real Madrid players could return against Liverpool at Anfield
Over the years, Real Madrid have been a thorn in the flesh of Liverpool on and off the pitch.
Having beaten the Reds in two Champions League finals under Jurgen Klopp, Los Blancos also nabbed the likes of Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni ahead of Liverpool in recent years to rub salt into their wounds.
The upcoming game at Anfield is an opportunity for the Reds to put some of those ghosts to bed with a win while also consolidating their position at the top of the table.
