The Champions League is back, and it's looking more thrilling than ever as Liverpool prepares to host Real Madrid in one of the standout fixtures of the newly redesigned 36-team league format. This new competition structure not only promises more intense matches but also more opportunities for clubs to face a wider array of opponents. Liverpool fans certainly have a lot to be excited about, especially with the historical significance of their rivalry with Madrid, who defeated them in two Champions League finals in 2018 and 2022. Could this be the year they turn the tide?

But thatโ€™s not all folks! Real Madrid, having recently added French sensation Kylian Mbappe to their already star-studded lineup, is poised to make waves as they also take on AC Milan at their home ground.
