Real Madrid - Liverpool: Stormy trip!
(Baonghean) - At 2:45 a.m. on November 5, Liverpool will enter the rematch with the reigning champion Real Madrid in the fourth round of the 2014-2015 Champione League. At present, the Spanish Royal team has become the perfect "winning machine". Therefore, although known as the "king of cup matches", the upcoming match will most likely still be a one-sided affair and defeat for the English representative is a foregone conclusion...

According to statistics, since the 1-2 defeat to the reigning La Liga champions in round 2 (September 13), Real played 11 more matches - including 7 matches in La Liga, 3 matches in the Champions League, 1 match in the Spanish King's Cup. As a result, they won all 11, scored 42 goals (nearly 4 goals/match) and only conceded 7 goals. Of which, Ronaldo scored 17 goals after 10 rounds (if counting all arenas, he scored 22 goals), with this impressive scoring record, the former Man Utd player surpassed Isidro Langara's record of scoring after the first 10 rounds that had existed for 79 years in La Liga. Since the 2009-2010 season when he was brought to the Santiago Bernabeu, his form has improved year by year, but he has never played as well and perfected his finishing skills as he did this season. And the upcoming match with Liverpool will be an opportunity for him to increase his goal tally, to single-handedly finish the race for the 2014 FIFA Ballon d'Or.
Meanwhile, their English opponents have been in terrible form this season. Last season, the Merseyside team performed impressively in the domestic league and won the championship, but only finished second in the Premier League table after individual mistakes. However, this season, fans no longer recognize Brendan Rodgers's battle-hardened army. They have played poorly and are currently only in 7th place. In the Champions League, after a long absence from Europe's most prestigious arena, it was thought that the return would make the "king of cups" more excited and improve their performance. However, after the first 3 rounds, Liverpool have suffered 2 defeats (FC Basel 0-1 and Real Madrid 0-3). There are many explanations for Liverpool's decline, such as the loss of their main striker Luis Suarez to Barca and the injury of Daniel Sturridge, who is still not scheduled to return. Another important reason is that Brendan Rodgers does not really have the best assistants to help him overcome this difficult period. While the playing style is too dependent on the currently broken attack, the coaching staff of the "Red Brigade" has not made many changes in tactics, leading to the current crisis is inevitable.
Coming to Santiago Bernabeu this time, Brendan Rodgers' army still has not changed anything from the game, form or players after losing to Real in the previous round. Meanwhile, the Royal team has not shown any signs of fatigue or decline in form, but is still sublimating through each match. Another good news for the Mandrisista is that in the next match, Real Madrid will have the return of Gareth Bale. This return makes the already perfect winning machine even more perfect. Therefore, it is not difficult to predict which team will win, the problem is how Brendan Rodgers' army will reduce the excitement of Ronaldo and his teammates in this turning point round.
