After the 7th round of the Premier League, defending champions Liverpool, after suffering three consecutive losses in all competitions including a defeat to Chelsea, have handed over the top spot in the Premier League to Arsenal, which came as a surprise. At the start of the season, after spending around €500 million to sign players like Isaac, Wirtz, and Ekitiqué, many fans were confident Liverpool would dominate the Premier League. However, just two months in, they have already lost their lead at the top. Could Liverpool’s fate this season mirror Real Madrid’s last season? Will they lose the Champions League, the league title, and the cup as Madrid did?
展开剩余81%Last season, Real Madrid had a similar story. They won both the Champions League and La Liga titles in 2023-2024 and made high-profile signings like Mbappé from PSG and Brazilian talent Endrick. With stars like Mbappé, Vinícius, and Bellingham, fans thought it was a foregone conclusion that Madrid would retain their titles. But things quickly fell apart. Mbappé struggled to coexist with Vinícius, and Madrid suffered disappointing results early in the season. By the time they faced Barcelona multiple times in La Liga and other competitions, they were repeatedly beaten. In the end, Madrid couldn’t defend their La Liga title and were eliminated from the Champions League by Arsenal. Coach Ancelotti was also replaced before the season finished.
This season, Liverpool faces a similar situation. After dominating last season’s Premier League, they made big signings, including Isaac, Wirtz, Ekitiqué, and others, making their squad one of the strongest in the league. With a top-class attack and midfield, including stars like Salah, Isaac, and MacAllister, many fans believed Liverpool would easily secure the title. But just like Madrid last season, Liverpool has struggled with team chemistry. They have issues with fitting together their star players, and competition for attacking positions has created tension in the squad.
While Madrid only signed Mbappé last season, Liverpool has brought in five top-quality players, making the challenge of integrating them much greater. Their problems were evident early on, as they lost the Community Shield to Crystal Palace and had to rely on late goals in seven consecutive wins. However, in the 7th round, Liverpool suffered their first loss of the season, followed by two more defeats in both the Champions League and Premier League, with last-minute goals from their opponents.
With the international break coming up, Liverpool has time to regroup. Their next game is at home against a struggling Manchester United on October 19. Can they stop the downward spiral and regain their form? The future of this season is still uncertain, but the parallels with last season’s Real Madrid are hard to ignore.
