Rumours and speculation hang in the air over how much longer both Arne Slot and Xabi Alonso have as managers of their respective clubs despite this week’s Champions League serving up differing fortunes.
The six time European Champions lifted the spirits of fans after beating Inter Milan 1-0, becoming the first to win at the legendary San Siro in 18 games.
Real Madrid fans were on the opposing end of the happiness scale as they lost 2-1 at home to Manchester City.
Liverpool started their bid to keep their Premier League title on August 15th starting the season well with a 4-2 win over Bournemouth.
The Reds won their first four games but their form dipped after losing to Crystal Palace and then Man City.
The Merseyside club have experienced some trouble away from home losing to Palace, Chelsea and Brentford.
Real Madrid have had a mirrored start to their season, winning their first six La Liga games.
However after losing to Liverpool in the Champions League at the start of November, the Spaniards have struggled to keep a winning streak up.
The side lost 2-0 to Celta Vigo after recording two consecutive draws to Girona and Elche, with only the one win to Athletic Club in the middle.
Both clubs have suffered from draws and losses of late, although Madrid sit second in the league, they have only won 11 of their 16 games, a percentage of 68.8%.
Liverpool, on the other hand, have played 15 but the side have won just seven games, a winning percentage of just 46.7% putting them 10th in the Premier League.
The Reds have not only struggled to score this season, but they have also found it tricky to keep the ball out of their own net, having 23 goals scored against them, just one less than the amount of goals they have scored.
The leading goal scorer for the Anfield side is new signing Hugo Ekitike, who has scored five of the 23 goals the team has netted in the Premier League.
Their Spanish counterparts, who have scored 34 goals and only conceded 15, have Kylian Mbappé to thank , having scored 16 of the 34, placing him first in the league.
