Real Madrid's form in the league have not been bad but they play second fiddle to Barcelona who currently lead the Spanish league but the Galacticos last game ended 3-0 against Leganes.

Head to Head

Liverpool are on an eight-game winless run against Real Madrid, who have won seven and drawn one of their last eight meetings which includes the 2008 and 2012 finals.
