Liverpool tonight welcome a club great back to Anfield as Xabi Alonso’s Real Madrid are in town for a blockbuster Champions League showdown.
While the visit of the Spanish giants can never be considered ideal, the Reds will have hoped to be in far better shape for the toughest of European tests.
A 2-0 victory over inconsistent Aston Villa ended a four-game losing streak in the Premier League, and has somewhat quietened the noise around head coach Arne Slot.
But Real Madrid have won 13 of 14 games this season, including all three in the Champions League so far, and head to England confident of taking all three points.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Liverpool vs Real Madrid is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off on today, Tuesday, November 4, 2025.
The match will take place at Anfiel
