Real Madrid trained at Anfield 24 hours ahead of their highly anticipated match against Liverpool, aiming to deliver a strong performance despite the challenging task that lies ahead.<\/p>\n
In the absence of Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 will be the focal point, as the French star joined Real Madrid specifically for high-stakes matches like this one. He is eager for this to be his first major night with the club.<\/p>\n
According to “El Nacional”, prior to the match, Mbapp\u00e9 revealed to his coach, Carlo Ancelotti, that he was particularly looking forward to facing a specific Liverpool player. “I want to play against Alexander Arnold,” Mbapp\u00e9 stated. He is aware of Arnold’s attacking strength but also notes that the English full-back often leaves defensive gaps, making the prospect of facing him an exciting challenge.<\/p>\n
For Liverpool, Arnold will not start the match due to physical discomfort he has been experiencing in recent hours, a decision confirmed by his coach, Arne Slot. However, his involvement in the game remains a possibility, as he could come on in the second half depending on how the match unfolds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
