Form guide: Real Madrid (W4-D1-L1) | Liverpool (W3-D2-L1)
Key battle: Jude Bellingham vs Alexis Mac Allister — the midfield engine room.

⚽ Tactical Spotlight: How Real Madrid Will Counter Liverpool's Press
Our exclusive tactical breakdown comes from former La Masia analyst Ravi Sharma (based in Pune). "Liverpool's high press under Klopp is predictable if you have the right escape routes," says Sharma. "Madrid will use Bellingham as a deep-lying playmaker to draw the press and then release Vinicius Jr into space behind Alexander-Arnold." This Champions League Heute insight is based on proprietary tracking data from the last 10 meetings between these two giants.
