Liverpool vs Real Madrid Predicted Lineups
Below are the lineups based on the latest available information.
Liverpool Predicted Lineup
- Goalkeeper: Kelleher
- Defence: Bradley, Konaté, Van Dijk, Robertson
- Midfield: Szoboszlai, Gravenberch, Mac Allister
- Attack: Salah, Luis Díaz, Gakpo
Real Madrid Predicted Lineup
- Goalkeeper: Courtois
- Defence: Mendy, Rüdiger, Asenci, Valverde
- Midfield: Camavinga, Bellingham, Modric
- Attack: Mbappé, Endrick, Brahim Díaz
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.
