That includes the 2018 and 2022 finals. Carragher added that it was indeed a tough draw for Jurgen Klopp's men: “I think from Liverpool’s point of view it isn’t a great draw," the Englishman said on Overlap. "Real Madrid have almost had our number in the past few years. If you go back to the final I was convinced Liverpool would win and I think they were a better team than Real Madrid.

He said: “Now with Tchouameni, a midfielder they brought in who Liverpool wanted, they let Casemiro go, but he’s a younger version, and I think Liverpool aren’t the same.

Aurelien Tchouameni will come up against the Reds in the Champions League in February. Liverpool's struggles in the center of the pitch this season is quite glaring and has been one of the factors behind their poor start to the season. With Thiago Alcantara, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and James Milner having struggled with fitness issues this season, the Reds have found it difficult to impress inmidfield. However, Los Blancos continue to have one of the best midfield setups in European football. Veterans like Luka Modric and Toni Kroos are still running riot for Los Blancos at the centre, while young guns like Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Edouardo Camavinga are also firing on all cylinders.
