That being said, here's a detailed comparison of the two European heavyweights:
Liverpool vs Real Madrid in EA FC 25: Player attributes comparison
The Reds and the Los Blancos share a somewhat similar philosophy on the virtual pitch of EA FC 25, albeit with some differences.
The Reds have Diego Jota (82 Shooting and 84 Dribbling) leading the frontline along with Luis Diaz (90 Pace and 87 Dribbling) and Mohamed Salah (89 Pace and 88 Dribbling) to pose an extra threat on the opponent's final third.
For the Los Blancos side, France's Kylian Mbappe (97 Pace and 92 Dribbling) leads the forward line. Two promising wingers — Vinicius Junior (95 Pace and 91 Dribbling) and Rodrygo (89 Pace and 88 Dribbling) — help the French forward by providing killer passes.
For Liverpool's midfield, Dominik Szoboszlai (82 Pace and 84 Dribbling), Alexis Mac Allister (85 Passing and 84 Dribbling), and Wataru Endo (78 Dribbling and 79 Defending) are a great trio for putting additional pressure on the opponent.
On the other side, Real Madrid's star trio of Jude Bellingham (88 Dribbling and 83 Physicality), Fede Valverde (88 Pace and 84 Physciality), and Luka Modric ( 88 Passing and 87 Dribbling) are the perfect options to defend against Liverpool's deadly forward line.
While the Reds operate with the help of two CDMs with the Holding mentality, Los Blancos' side relies on only one CDM who plays a Deep-Lying Playmaker role. Real Madrid appears to have a more potent midfield lineup than the Reds.
In Liverpool's backline, Andrew Robertson (82 Passing and 81 Defending) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (90 Passing and 80 Defending) are two reliable side backs that possess immense potential to tear up Real Madrid's defense line. Additionally, the duo of Virgil van Dijk (89 Defending and 86 Physicality) and Ibrahim Konate (83 Defending and 84 Physicality) is strong enough to stop Madrid's deadly forward trio.
For the Los Blancos side, Ferland Mendy (89 Pace and 85 Physicality) and Dani Carvajal (81 Pace and 81 Dribbling) are the two promising side backs who may pose a threat to Liverpool's midfield and backline. Meanwhile, Antonio Rudiger (86 Defending and 86 Physicality) and Eder Militao (85 Pace and 85 Defending) can easily outplay world-class forwards like Salah, Diaz, and others.
Lastly, even though the flashy attributes are extremely close for both teams' goalies, Liverpool's Alisson (86 Diving and 90 Positioning) seems superior to Real Madrid's Thibaut Courtois (85 Diving and 90 Reflexes) in the virtual matchup.
