Liverpool vs Real Madrid Confirmed Lineups

The official lineups are always announced shortly before kick-off. Below is a live overview of the confirmed lineups as soon as they are released.

Mbappé in His Natural Position

This is Kylian Mbappé’s debut season at Real Madrid, but he has yet to find his form. Typically, the French superstar thrives as a central striker, but he has struggled to adapt. He displays a passive approach and frequently gets caught offside, signs that he is not entirely comfortable in this role.

His "natural" position is currently occupied by a long-established performer delivering consistently top-level results, making it difficult to displace him. However, in the match against Liverpool, Mbappé will get another chance to play in his preferred position. With Vinícius sidelined due to a thigh injury, it will be interesting to see if the change in position makes a difference for the French World Cup winner.
