Liverpool extended their perfect start to this season’s Champions League with an impressive 2-0 victory over reigning champions, Real Madrid, at Anfield.
Goals from Alexis Mac Allister and substitute Cody Gakpo in the second half sealed a deserved victory for the Reds.
The drama of the evening unfolded with Caoimhin Kelleher’s crucial penalty save from Kylian Mbappe and Mohamed Salah’s miss from the spot, which added a tense but thrilling element to the match.
While it was a tough night for Mbappe, who struggled to find his rhythm, Conor Bradley stood out with a commanding performance.
Not only did he keep the French forward at bay, but Bradley also provided the assist for Mac Allister’s opener.
The result leaves Real Madrid in a difficult position, having lost three of their five matches so far in the competition.
On the other hand, Liverpool remains firmly at the top of their group and are in excellent form, with 17 wins from 19 games in all competitions this season.
