Liverpool FC: The Reds' 10 Fiercest Rivalries | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Both teams steeped in history, both continentally and domestically, Real Madrid and Liverpool are two of the world's most well-known and well-supported teams.

Their most recent clash was in 2009, when the Reds stole a 1-0 away win at the Santiago Bernabeau before demolishing Real 4-0 at Anfield. Fernando Torres, brought up at Atletico Madrid, was only one of Madrid's tormentors that night.

Come the end of the season, Liverpool's player of the year, Xabi Alonso, completed a switch to the Spanish capital, an inevitable move that broke Red hearts. With former Reds stars like Michael Owen and Steve McManaman also realizing their "dreams" in moving to Real, Liverpool's rivalry with Los Merengues is well documented.
