It’s quite remarkable how quickly perspectives can change, with confidence levels significantly improved by back-to-back wins against Everton and Newcastle in the English top flight.
Still, Liverpool’s upcoming meeting with Real Madrid in the Champions League is a challenge like no other, as the Reds will be more than familiar in light of their recent record against Los Blancos.

At the top, things remain similarly unchanged as Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah form a forward line.
