Before Real Madrid can look ahead to its trip to Anfield, Carlo Ancelotti's men must first handle business against Leganes in La Liga.
Real Madrid might have secured a 4–0 victory over Osasuna before the November international break, but the team suffered a triple injury blow that will impact the club's Spanish and European title defenses. Éder Militão tore his ACL for the second time in as many seasons, joining Dani Carvajal on the sidelines for the rest of the season. Lucas Vázquez and Rodrygo also picked up injuries that will keep them off the pitch for weeks.
