Coach Comments:

Other Comments:

Asensio: "We knew this game was going to be important for us. We knew we had to win to keep our hopes alive. Good win. We had more than enough chances amd we had to be clinical with our finishing. We created a lot of chances and that's the most important thing."

Squad Updates:

This will be the Fortieth game of the season and Real have been usually inconsistent in the matches and so has been the outcomes, they have had 24 wins, 7 Draws and 8 losses. In the last few games except the last three, the performance has been poor especially in attack and with this ailing team it is not making the run any easier.

Liverpool is a good attacking side and are fine in the defense, so Real will need to be careful in both departments and be ready for their counters.

In the goal Courtois will start, he has been in a good form. He has supported the defense really well but has not received the same from the team and more so with many changes owing to injuries in the defense.

Mendy should start on the left. As Ramos is out injured Nacho should get the nod ahead for the center back position and Varane will start as a center back after the rest. Carvajal is now back but might play only as a substitute as he lacks game time. So Mendy, Nacho, Varane and Lucas Vazquez should start. Carvajal, Marcelo and Militao should be available as substitutes.

Modric has been a bit slow for last few games but was always in control and last few games were great. Same goes with Kroos, who has been exceptional. So, Kroos, Casemiro and Modric should start. Isco, Arribas and Blanco should start from the bench.

The forwards have been poor all season, they have been wasting many chances in front of the goal. Hazard is out and Vinicius should start on the left, being good in the last game. With Asensio playing well, he should get his chance ahead of Rodrygo. And Benzema should start upfront.

As there are 5 substitutions available, ZZ should think for more rotations in the second half especially taking into consideration the team's fatigue and injuries for the next games.

The probable substitutions will be:

Vinicius > Rodrygo

Modric > Arribas

Nacho > Militao

Asensio > Marcelo

Kroos > Isco

So the formation would be 4 3 3.

The most probable kit to be used for the game will be the home kit!!!

So the final starting 11 will be:

The Starting 11: Best team for the first quarter Real Madrid

Real Madrid have completed 9 matches in the La liga, which is approximately 25% of the campaign. And they have played 3 matches in Champion's league which has a maximum of 13 matches to win it. Effectively 25% of the season is over. The standings are as follows, 2nd in the league behind Barcelona, having played most of the top teams except Barcelona. If they continue the same momentum they have a good chance in the league, and just to point they have done so with several injuries. Real has lost just one match but overall performance needs improvement So the future seems bright, the team needs more consistency in defence and goal keeping. In the champion's league they are second behind PSG, who have a 100% win record. One desperate win, one tough draw and a bad loss, the shape of the team is not great. They will qualify it seems but given the easy group, things are not smooth for sure. But going ahead their solid performance is what is required. In the competitio...

The upcoming match against Shaktar Donetsk is an away game in the Champions league match day 5. The last Real Madrid game was against Alaves which was the worst performance of the season.
