Liverpool could face Real Madrid for a third successive season in the Champions League, but UEFA has placed a restriction on where the match can be played.
The two European giants are among the 36 clubs entering Thursday’s 2026-27 Champions League league phase draw in Monaco.
Both have been placed in Pot 1 alongside some of Europe’s biggest clubs, meaning a repeat meeting between them remains possible.
However, UEFA’s new draw condition means Liverpool would not be permitted to host Real Madrid at Anfield if the clubs are paired together again.
