In their past six encounters with Madrid, the Reds’ team has failed to win a single game while only managing two goals. Despite this, Rodrygo feels that the reigning champions will have a difficult challenge in the opening leg at Anfield.

We already know that the game there will be very challenging, according to Rodrygo, who spoke to Goal.

“Playing against Liverpool is never easy, with or without spectators, but it’s considerably harder at Anfield. We are prepared.

Benzema scored as Carlo Ancelotti’s team defeated Al-Hilal 5-3 at the weekend to win the FIFA Club World Cup, but now that the current Ballon d’Or winner is healthy again, Rodrygo has described the role he may play against Liverpool.

“Everyone knows that the position I prefer most is behind Karim in the 4-2-3-1. I speak with the coach all the time,” he stated.

Madrid is in second position in La Liga, 11 points behind the league’s top team, Barcelona, despite having a game in hand. Rodrygo thinks that despite the points gap, historical performance demonstrates that they still have a chance to win the championship this year.

The 22-year-old stated, “It’s always possible; we just have to believe until the very end.” “I believe that during my first season, we were likewise much behind Atletico before catching up.

“We’re going to attempt to go back and win all the remaining games, even if it’s really difficult. Watch what transpires.
