How to buy Liverpool vs Real Madrid tickets

Fans can try to purchase tickets for all Liverpool matches via the club website’s official ticketing page. However, given the size and popularity of the club, Liverpool home matches can often sell out very quickly and it could prove even more difficult to snag tickets upon their return to the Champions League.

Liverpool club membership starts at £26.99 per season for adults and can increase your chances of landing tickets to big matches with even their ‘lite’ tier having 13,000 tickets allocated for every Premier League home match (Champions League availability is not stated). But even then, there are no guarantees.

Using a trusted resale platform such as livefootballtickets offers a much easier route to buying tickets than via club channels, especially if you only intend on attending sporadic matches.

Tickets for Liverpool vs Real Madrid and all other Champions League matches will soon be listed for immediate sale via livefootballtickets.com.

Unlike many other resale sites, livefootballtickets are highly trusted, so much so that they score five stars with Trustpilot, while all purchases come with a 150% moneyback guarantee.

New Champions League format

The Champions League has been revamped this season. Instead of the traditional 32 teams split into eight groups of four, there’s now a single 36-team table, referred to as the ‘league phase’. This ‘Swiss model’ is often used in Chess.

Teams will no longer play three opponents twice. Instead, each club will face eight different teams, with four home matches and four away.

Teams will be sorted into four seeding pots, and each club will be drawn to play two opponents from each pot, with one game per pot at home and the other away.

The top eight teams from this league phase will automatically advance to the last 16, while teams ranked ninth to 24th will compete in a two-legged playoff round for the remaining spots.
