Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid broadcast details, starting time, team updates, and match statistics, featuring Alexander Isak's start in the lineup.
Liverpool begin their Champions League campaign tonight, hosting Real Madrid at Anfield. Kick-off is set for 8pm UK time.
The Reds have started the Premier League season in impressive form, winning all four games so far. Their latest victory came against Burnley at the weekend, with Mohamed Salah scoring an injury time penalty to secure a 100% record.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, finished third in La Liga last season and reached the round of 16 in last year's Champions League. However, they were knocked out by Paris Saint-Germain.
Zinedine Zidane's side have met English teams 39 times previously, winning 14, drawing 14, and losing 11. Zidane has managed Real Madrid against Liverpool in two wins and two losses, with his last victories coming in the 2019/20 Champions League round of 16.
Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema has been a key player for the Spanish side, scoring or assisting 26% of his side's goals in the Champions League, the highest percentage by any player for a team who have scored 100+ goals in the competition.
Alexander Isak is set to make his Liverpool debut against Real Madrid, having joined the team after a boycott at Newcastle amid his transfer battle. Isak missed Liverpool's previous games due to lack of training after his national team duty, playing only 15-20 minutes.
Real Madrid have scored in 15 of their last 16 league phase/group stage games, but have won just four of their last 14 away matches in the competition. Liverpool, on the other hand, have won each of their last 14 home European group stage/league phase matches, scoring two or more goals in all of the past 13.
This Champions League League Phase game will take place on Wednesday, September 17. The game will be shown on TNT Sports 1, and talkSPORT will have live commentary of the game. Liverpool topped the 2024/25 Champions League league phase standings, winning the most games (seven) and most points (21) of any side. The Liverpool team in the 2024/25 Champions League season was coached by Arne Slot, who was appointed head coach in May 2024, after Jürgen Klopp stepped down.
Let's hope for an exciting and competitive match between these two European giants!
