“Liverpool sweep us away”: Carlo Ancelotti before UCL clash

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti is fearing that Liverpool will “sweep” them away in the Champions League clash on November 27.

The cruising form and class of the Reds have led them to climbing to the top of the Premier League and UEFA Champions League points table.

With 28 points in just 11 league matches, the Merseyside club sit atop the PL points table, five points clear of the second-placed Manchester City.

In UCL, they are first after matchday 4, with a perfect 12 points, two points clear of second-placed Sporting CP.

The Anfield giants have lost only one game so far in the season after 15 games played. Even when they’ve looked like they’re about to lose a game, somehow they’ve managed to make a comeback.

In contrast to that, the former UCL champions Real Madrid are six point behind La Liga toppers Barcelona and are 18th in the Champions League points table with only four points.

With four games of the group stage left, Los Blancos are in trouble as they will be travelling to England later this month possibly without seven senior players.

Ancelotti fears Liverpool to beat Real Madrid in Champions League

According to Spanish media outlet Relevo, the Italian manager has been saying in training,

“Either we raise our level or Liverpool sweep us away.”

The Spanish giants’ “aim is to lay the theoretical and practical foundations” for the changes they intend to see during this international break so that they are able to go full throttle once every player is back.

Los Blancos have been underwhelmingly underperforming across all competitions and Ancelotti raising his eyebrow isn’t unjustified.

Apparently, Don Carlo is using this break to reset the team’s fitness and understandably so as a loss against the mighty Reds might push them further towards knockout.

Hopefully, Liverpool will win this game with their exceptional form and continue challenging for titles.
