Liverpool vs Real Madrid is one of the biggest fixtures in this year's UEFA Champions League group stage. The two clubs have met in the last few seasons as well, with two encounters being in the Champions League final. Real Madrid had the upper hand in most of these recent face-offs and they continue to look pretty solid. However, Liverpool is having a great run in the Premier League so far, currently sitting at the top of the league table.

That being said, an EA FC 25-based comparison would depend on player ratings rather than current form. So, in this article, we will take a look at Liverpool and Real Madrid's squads to determine which of the two is the better team in the game.
