The night was a restless one for Carlo Ancelotti’s players. Just hours before the clash between Liverpool and Real Madrid at Anfield, English supporters targeted the hotel where the Madrid delegation was staying, disrupting their sleep in the middle of the night.
In search of their first victory against Real Madrid since 2009, Liverpool’s Reds are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve it this Wednesday. Having become the preferred target of Carlo Ancelotti’s team in recent years, the Anfield Road regulars are gearing up for a tough battle against a severely weakened Real Madrid side. To help Mohamed Salah’s squad finally get the desired result, English fans stormed the Madrid hotel last night.
Real Madrid’s sleepless night
Armed with firecrackers and stun grenades, several Liverpool supporters attempted to disrupt the night of the Madrid delegation. According to journalist Paul Senior, “very loud fireworks were heard on Old Hall Street,” where Real Madrid are staying. Reports indicate that the hostilities began around half past one and continued until 4 a.m.
In any case, we will see if this attack has any effect, as the last time Real Madrid came to Liverpool, and supporters gathered at the hotel at 2 a.m. to light fireworks and disrupt the Madrid players’ sleep, Ancelotti’s team won 5-2 the following day. This time, with the absences of Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Éder Militão, and Dani Carvajal, perhaps fortune will favour the English. All will be revealed this Wednesday evening.
