Liverpool and Real Madrid will meet once again in the 2014/2015 season. The pair didnât have to wait long to face each other, as Merengues triumphed over Liverpool last May. Real is in better shape right now, winning the Club World Cup recently, and also chasing Barcelona in the La Liga standings. Liverpool is well out of the title race in the Premier League, finding it tricky even to qualify for the Champions League via the league for next year.

2021/2022 Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt face the hottest name of this seasonâs Serie A campaign Napoli, which is heading to its first title since 1989/1990.

This year, RB Leipzig and Manchester City will square it off in the knockout stage, setting the stakes higher than last seasonâs encounters.
