Anfield’s big night sparks hope—and nerves

Liverpool host Real Madrid on Tuesday at Anfield in a crucial Champions League clash. Arne Slot’s team ended four straight league defeats with a 2-0 over Aston Villa and a 5-1 versus Frankfurt, but Madrid—winners of 10 of 11 in La Liga—arrive in top form.

Vinicius Jr., Mbappé, and Alexander-Arnold’s return promise fireworks. Fans say Anfield magic can change anything—unless Madrid pack a wand too.
