The Champions League draw is in, and Real Madrid has some big matches ahead—including a rematch against Liverpool. Who else will they face? Find out more!

In an electrifying night in Monaco, the Champions League draw has set the stage for an action-packed 2024/25 season, and Real Madrid is right at the heart of it. The reigning champions received their marching orders, with Liverpool emerging as a headline opponent. It’s a rematch fit for the ages: who can forget the nostalgia of their finals in previous UEFA seasons? With Liverpool hosting this iconic clash, fans around the globe are already revving up their predictions and pre-game banter.

Real Madrid won't just be facing Liverpool—they've also got Bayer Leverkusen on their radar, a team managed by none other than Anfield legend Xabi Alonso. As the excitement grows, the newly revamped 36-team format of the Champions League promises to deliver more thrills than ever. And if that’s not enough to keep Real on their toes, they will also contend with Borussia Dortmund, Milan, Salzburg, and Stuttgart in their group. With Kylian Mbappé's summer transfer from Paris Saint-Germain, Los Blancos are poised to further cement their status as favorites to collect another trophy.

However, it’s not all smooth sailing the Galacticos need to worry about. After a rocky start in La Liga, Carlo Ancelotti has stated the team must "find an improvement fast." Fans witnessed a frustrating 1-1 draw against Las Palmas, where Ancelotti took the blame for the sluggish performance. The combination of talent like Vinicius Jr. and Mbappé should be enough to light up the pitch, but consistency will be key for this powerhouse club. Can Ancelotti pull the team back on track in time to shine brightly in Europe?

As Real Madrid prepares for their Champions League journey, it’s worth noting that they currently hold a record 15 wins - a staggering achievement in the history of the tournament. Additionally, the addition of national team superstars and an electric partnership between Mbappé and Vinicius Jr. could prove to be a match made in football heaven. All eyes will be on them as they bid to reclaim glory. So buckle up, fans! The ride is set to be thrilling.
