Real Madrid vs Liverpool: Star-studded Combined XI Featuring 6 Los Blancos and 5 Reds

Liverpool face Real Madrid in a colossal Champions League final this weekend. The elite European competition has been Real’s playground for the last 3 years or so and they will be looking to script history by winning the scintillating trophy for the third consecutive time.

As far as we are concerned, the Champions League could either make or break our season. Our PL rivals may have packed their bags and ended the season but for us, it will be a tough test against the Spanish giants. We have fought hard to get here but do we have what it takes to beat Real Madrid? I believe we do.

Real Madrid and Liverpool combined XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Loris Karius (GK)

Karius has undergone a massive transformation since replacing Simon Mignolet between the sticks and his commitment deserves credit.

Dani Carvajal (RB)

Carvajal has been rock-solid at right-back for Real and hence, finds himself in this combined XI.

Sergio Ramos

Virgil van Dijk (CB)

People may have had their doubts about him but the Dutchman has proven to be a formidable force for Liverpool at the back.

Sergio Ramos (CB)

Ramos is regarded as one of the best centre-backs in modern-day football for multiple reasons. He might be aggressive and rash but that does not take away his impact.

Andy Robertson (LB)

Robertson has been one of Liverpool’s most consistent performers and his ability to switch between attack and defence sees him come into this list ahead of Marcelo.

Andrew Robertson

Casemiro (DM)

When it comes to the midfield, very few players can be as influential as Casemiro. He is one of Real’s key players and he will have a major role to play this weekend.

Toni Kroos (CM)

Kroos is one of the best midfielders in the world and Real will depend on him to establish control in the middle of the park.

Luka Modric (CM)

Modric partners exceptionally with Kroos and to be honest, Liverpool are a tad below Real in the midfield department. Thus, the trio will be completed by Modric.

 

Mohamed Salah

Cristiano Ronaldo (LW)

The Champions League is his playground and nobody can deny Ronaldo’s magic across Europe. Expected to retain his spot on the left-wing, Ronaldo just about edges past Sadio Mane to find himself in the combined XI.

Mohamed Salah (RW)

Salah will be under the spotlight once again as Liverpool take on Real at Kiev. He has been a sensational performer but everything will come down to this one moment.

Roberto Firmino (ST)

Given Karim Benzema’s hit-or-miss season, it only seems fitting to include Firmino in this line-up.
