After breaking their poor run in the Premier League, Liverpool is set to confront a formidable challenge in the Champions League against Real Madrid, who have an impeccable record of 9 points from their first 3 games.

The 2025/26 season has been turbulent for Liverpool. Although coach Arne Slot’s squad recently secured an important win against Aston Villa to halt their losing streak in the Premier League, the “Reds” still lack the necessary consistency, especially in scoring. Mohamed Salah, the club’s biggest hope, has yet to reach the explosive form he showed last season.
In the Champions League, Liverpool currently holds 6 points from 3 matches, placing them tentatively 10th in the standings. While not in immediate danger, the Merseyside team’s performance remains concerning. After losing to Galatasaray, they regained winning momentum by crushing Eintracht Frankfurt. However, facing Real Madrid now presents an entirely different challenge.
On the other side, under coach Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid is demonstrating superior strength. The "Los Blancos" have won all 3 opening Champions League matches and lead La Liga by 5 points over Barcelona. Kylian Mbappe continues to be the driving force behind the royal club’s play, showing consistent goal-scoring form and a frightening ability to create chances.
Since their September loss to Atletico Madrid, Real has won 6 straight matches across all competitions, while Liverpool has lost 6 of their last 8 games. Given the current form, even the home advantage at Anfield may not guarantee a favorable result for Arne Slot’s team as it did last season.
Besides the Anfield encounter, fans are also eagerly anticipating the high-profile clash between PSG and Bayern Munich, two teams with perfect records after 3 rounds. This match not only decides the group leader but also serves as a much-anticipated rematch after PSG defeated Bayern in the FIFA Club World Cup quarterfinals this summer.
However, Bayern Munich, coached by Vincent Kompany, has undergone a complete transformation. The "Bavarian giants" have won all 15 matches across all competitions this season, with Harry Kane in lethal goal-scoring form. Conversely, PSG, despite remaining unbeaten in the Champions League, struggles in Ligue 1 due to frequent dropped points and injury problems. History also does not favor the French club, as they have lost 6 of their last 7 Champions League encounters against Bayern.
In other matchups, Arsenal and Inter Milan have great chances to strengthen their positions at the top. The "Gunners" face Slavia Prague, who have only 2 points, while Inter plays Kairat Almaty, a newcomer to the Champions League. Both teams have secured full 9 points and kept clean sheets, clearly demonstrating the stability of these Premier League and Serie A representatives.
Meanwhile, Manchester City returns home to Etihad Stadium to host Dortmund. Both have 7 points from 3 matches, but the Citizens are rated higher due to Erling Haaland’s outstanding form and a streak of 5 wins in 6 recent games. The head-to-head record also favors Pep Guardiola’s team, who remain unbeaten in the last 4 meetings with Dortmund (3 wins, 1 draw).
