Champions League standings LIVE: a new day begins in the UEFA Champions League. The best European clubs will measure their strength to continue climbing the general table of the Champions League, which is led by Liverpool with a perfect score, followed by Sporting Lisbon, Inter, Brest and Monaco. Let’s remember that Real Madrid is in the playoff zone and will have to go to Anfield to get points that will allow it to break its losing streak.
Real Madrid visits the leader, Liverpool
Real Madrid will face Liverpool at Anfield on Wednesday, on the fifth day of the first phase of the Champions League, in a new reissue of one of the new classics of European football.
The ‘Reds’ alone lead the table of 32 teams thanks to their total number of victories in the first four rounds (12 points), while Real Madrid, with two wins and two losses (18th, 6 points), needs to start to climb positions to the ‘Top 8’, which qualifies directly to the round of 16.
Lucas Vázquez entered the Merengues’ call-up, despite the fact that he is still not fully recovered, although the Italian coach, Carlo Ancelotti, will probably once again opt for the Uruguayan Fede Valverde as a full-back, after he played well in the League victory. Sunday against Leganés (3-0).
The white team travels without the Brazilian Vinicius, who will be out for three weeks due to an injury to the femoral biceps in his left leg. The novelty of the Italian coach’s list is the inclusion of Gonzalo, the reserve team’s attacker.
But, the absence of Vinicius – who will surely not be ready until the final of the Intercontinental Cup to be played on December 18 – leaves the way clear for the Frenchman Kylian Mbappé to play on the left wing, his natural position and where he is most lethal.
The Brazilian star was joined in the infirmary by Dani Carvajal, who will miss the entire season due to a torn ligament in his knee, the Austrian David Alaba, the Frenchman Aurelien Tchouaméni, and his compatriots Militao and Rodrygo.
In the ranks of their rival, however, despite being the leader in the Premier League and the Champions League, the waters are choppy.
Their star striker, Mohamed Salah, ends his contract next June and has not yet renewed. On Sunday, after starring with a double in his team’s comeback in Southampton, the Egyptian spoke about his contractual situation.
“I’m more outside than inside. I have not received any proposals. “We are almost in December and I have not received any offer to stay at the club,” the 32-year-old player told NBC, before stressing that he remains focused in the meantime on achieving the titles at stake this year, although he expressed his disappointment.
Barcelona seeks to continue on a streak
Barcelona needs to beat the French Brest in Montjuic on Tuesday in the Champions League to recover the good feelings with which it had started the season, but which seem to have vanished in the last league games.
The culé team will try to win a victory that elevates them to the top of the league, in which from 1st to 8th they directly access the round of 16.
Hansi Flick’s charges will host a surprising Brest on this fifth day of competition. Sixth with a balance of three wins and one loss, with 9 points, the culé team wants to climb positions and show once again that it has arguments to proclaim itself champion of a tournament that it has not won since 2015.
Their opponent on Tuesday has shown that they are in a state of grace by adding 10 points, thanks to three wins and a draw.
The culé team will want to end the streak of two consecutive games without winning in LaLiga. They lost to Real Sociedad at the Reale Arena (1-0) and tied on Saturday against Celta de Vigo at Balaídos (2-2).
This Monday, Flick gave a warning to the locker room to warn that they must stop making mistakes.
“It’s about eliminating mistakes, that’s important,” Flick said during his pre-match press conference. “We have many things to do better with the ball and that is what we focus on,” the German continued.
Even so, it remains the leader with four points ahead of Real Madrid, which has one game less and has just won against Leganés on Sunday (3-0).
The Barça team is suffering from the loss of Lamine Yamal due to injury, but they have the Polish Robert Lewandowski and the Brazilian Raphinha in top form. Left back Alejandro Balde will not be against Brest either.
This is the first meeting between Barcelona and Brest. The Spanish team has lost its last two games against French teams in the Champions League, this same year, against Paris Saint Germain 4-1 in April and against Monaco 2-1 in September.
