🕵️♂️ Transcript:
Nick and Andy huge game in the Champions League this week Liverpool against Real Madrid and anfield Under The Lights doesn’t get much better than this the reain in Champs against the six times champions of Europe I mean Nick what’s your thoughts on this game because I think red Kit white Kit two absolute heavy weights of European football and just conjures up so many wonderful memories and scraps over the years and this is just what Champions League football is all about isn’t it 100% And I mean we’ve seen this matchup so many times too and that makes it even more you know for this generation it’s it’s been there and you’ve got Liverpool who have not lost in the competition this year against the Real Madrid team who have struggled a little bit and let’s face it I don’t I don’t know that there’s anything more attractive that’s that’s coming out of this new format than being in the top eight uh relax a little bit don’t have to face somebody else who is thinking if you’re in spots to 24 okay and you face Real Madrid all you have to think is I’m in the same pot as them and the Mystique that is normally with them is maybe just a little bit down so this is a huge game for Real Madrid and maybe for Liverpool with with with respect excuse me accepting the fact that it’s at anfield um is a little bit of house money and maybe even a little bit distracting because of what’s coming up next week yeah it’s true right I mean this is a huge week Andy for Liverpool I talked to Virgil van djk about this after the win at Southampton and said and he just said this I love this this is you know I love every week being a Liverpool player but this is kind of what it’s all about and he talked about beating Real Madrid he’s never actually beaten Real Madrid since he’s been at Liverpool you look at their recent record over the years obviously lost two finals to them um but I think it’s eight games in a row without victory uh for Liverpool against Real Madrid in the Champions League so they’ve had their number for a while been close we’ll give it that but I think for Liverpool they are the overriding favorites for this game right when you look at the way they’re playing the injuries Real Madrid have uh you know salah’s comments aside I think everything’s very very settled at Liverpool heading into this game so are there any issues for Liverpool I can’t really see many weaknesses other than they looked a little bit shaky on the counter uh defending that against Southampton the other day but aside from that I mean this is pretty imperious in terms of the start of the season from Liverpool and this is a statement this is a statement week for them right both in the Champions League and the Premier League win these two games and you’re the favorites to win both competitions yeah it’s it’s interesting because what’s on paper what’s on the table what’s on the results doesn’t exactly match up with what the eyes or my eyes at least I’ll say are seeing from them right now they look good they they look strong but they don’t look dominant and I think we are used to and maybe we won’t have a dominant champion this year but we are used to I think the last I mean even outside of City’s run seeing a dominant team in the Premier League and maybe there just won’t be one this year they do have issues they are as you say Joe uh susceptible on the Counterattack and I think we knew that going into the season when they didn’t sign a defensive midfielder they went into the season with Ryan grenberg as that guy and that’s fine very good in possession and that has added to everything else that they do and gives them more control we’ve talked about this but at some point in the season you are going to have to play Manchester City Arsenal Real Madrid teams of that ilk and they are going to have the kind of offensive Firepower uh in the pace that I think is going to maybe expose Liverpool a little bit I I know Madrid not in good form I know Liverpool in good form but when you just look at the two teams and what they do well and what they don’t do well it seems like uh it’s it’s a lot more 5050 uh I think than than some people are making it out to be this week and so this is a you know this is a big test obviously for Liverpool to show that the start to their season you know they’re not Pretenders it’s you know it’s not smoking mirrors in any way but that it is truly legitimate and they do have that staying power not just at the top of the Premier League but at the top of the champions league as well where they’re they’re sitting top of both tables Nick I mean Real Madrid they’ve had issues this season they’re second in La Liga but injuries are piling up defensively uh milal car theal Alaba still out and then venicius jior is going to miss this game as well um so that’s another hugee Miss and Rodrigo is still out so leaning heavily on Jude Bellingham and Killian mbappe again not too bad not bad players to lean heavily on um and they’re used to the big game moments and delivering but um kind of there for the take him right Carlo angelotti side because as you mentioned they struggled in the Champions League so far the reig in Champs they always find the way but just defensively don’t look anywhere near as Resolute as they have done in recent seasons and uh this is a huge moment for them it feels to decide what kind of Direction their season’s going to go in and if they’re feeling a little bit sorry for themselves of all these injuries piling up yeah that’s the one thing that we haven’t seen under a lot of Carlo andelot teams but certainly there is there there may be a mentality issue here because I I just think back to the Classico and how it looked it it was it fell apart for them pretty quickly yeah and you know they they started bright they looked frustrated they they look as if their expectation that they’re going to score that they can’t fathom when it doesn’t happen and I would I would go this far um when you’re a very good team you usually have a unicorn sometimes you have two maybe that’s cilant TR Alexander Arnold well with venius Jr and Danny Carvajal out um that’s the same side of the field that’s going to be attacked by Salon Alexander Arnold and I think that gives Liverpool a distinct Edge because from the Real Madrid perspective you have to plan for that you have to think more than how are we going to do this it’s how are we going to do this against them without these two guys and so some a real challenge for them by the way at anfield um and the club arguably treats the Champions League like paradise itself it is the priority yeah no it’s very true and I think um Real Madrid obviously going to sit back Andy they’re goingon to just soak up pressure I wouldn’t be surprised if modri comes into the starting lineup because again they’ve got other injuries for CH manyi being out in Midfield just somebody to be calm composed try and get the ball to Jude Bellingham Killian mppe on the counter try and deliver something but part of me feels like obviously mbappe is a wonderful player hasn’t quite got going at Real Madrid since he joined them and it’s almost like the balance and the just the vibe just seems a little bit off at Real Madrid and it’s like Liverpool catching them at a good time so in terms of like a score prediction I’m going to go with 31 to Liverpool I think the form they’re in right now Salah um even Diaz um gakpo when you look around they just have players who I think can really really hurt this banged up Real Madrid side and um you know anfield Under The Lights Champions League speaks for itself right what are you going for mate in the prediction yeah I I’ll I’ll go 21 Liverpool as well I think it’s going to be very close I think it’s going to be left late and and I think we see a bit of a spirited performance from Madrid because this is if you look at the schedule and you look at the situation there in at the moment this is the opportunity and and so I think angelotti obviously gonna have them very ready to go for this game understanding that a result or a victory potentially even here in this game could be the thing that really jump start their starts their season and I don’t think anybody wants that no definitely not Nick what you going with mate I’m struggling here part of me wants to say a one-1 draw because of that desperation Real Madrid has because Liverpool’s top of the table and they’re going to finish in the top eight in my opinion and they’ve got Man City at the weekend true great point so I’m still gonna say two1 Liverpool I just um I I think it’s set up for them because of that left side I’m sorry their right side versus Real Madrid’s left side I think he’s going to be a big difference maker but listen the one thing I’ll say I’m making that prediction 2-1 uh mbapp is going to have a moment soon um he’s gonna have that moment that reminds everybody he’s at Real Madrid that that reminds everybody that you know as much as we love V Verde and Bellingham and venius that it’s his show um either that or he’s gonna end up at Real Madrid for like a year so I I would bet on him figuring it out uh maybe that’ll be this week at anfield yeah our producer fa is betting on and figure it out because he said 2-1 Real Madrid so you got a lot of score predictions there to to work through but head over to pro soccer talk on NBC sports.com for how toat information head-to-head record live analysis reaction we’ll have you cover for this massive game in the champions league league
