Liverpool will face Real Betis in an international friendly on July 27th at 7:30 PM. The match marks the debut of Liverpool’s new coach, Jürgen Klopp, and a rematch after a 19-year hiatus, making it a fierce encounter.
Liverpool finished as the Premier League runner-up last season, while Real Betis secured seventh place in La Liga. This match is Liverpool’s first pre-season game, and Klopp’s debut on the sidelines.
Liverpool’s initial pre-season squad for their US tour includes players like Salah, Jones, and Endo, while Van Dijk, who participated in the European Championships, is yet to rejoin the team. Several other players have since returned, but Klopp has revealed that players like Robertson are injured and will miss the match against Real Betis.
Real Betis have already played one friendly on July 20th, defeating Austria Salzburg 5-1, showcasing their impressive offensive prowess.
The two teams last met in the group stage of the Champions League during the 2005-06 season, with Liverpool winning 2-1 away and drawing 0-0 at home. Since then, they haven’t crossed paths.
The highlight of this match will be Klopp’s first game as Liverpool manager, with player evaluation being a key focus. The outcome of the game may not be a primary concern for Klopp.
Real Betis’ preparation has been more advanced compared to Liverpool, and they’ve already had a friendly to regain their rhythm. They are aiming for another victory. Of course, choosing a team like Real Betis for a debut presents a significant challenge for both Klopp and Liverpool.
