Thibaut Courtois was the great protagonist of the Spanish team. He made great saves on headers from Virgil Van Dijk and Hugo Ekitike within a few seconds. While he also did the same on a free kick by Szomboslai  in the 51st minute. Ten minutes later, however, from a free kick by the Hungarian, McAllister beat him with a powerful header and made it 1-0. In the 87th minute, Gakpo and Salah missed a double chance for a second goal.

Real Madrid repeated the mistakes they made at the Metropolitano. Against a dynamic, organized and well-positioned Liverpool team, they suffered their second defeat of the season, which is not statistically serious, given that their qualification for the Champions League is practically assured. But it is a blow to their morale, as once again Slot's players were unbeatable in duels, in the air and in their intensity until the final whistle. They avoided a crash only because Courtois saw a red shirt and transformed into a giant. He made half a dozen saves, no exaggeration. Two from Soboszlai , one from McAllister, one from Van Dijk, another from Ekitike and the last from Gakpo.

Clear shots, sharp. The Belgian could not save everything and the team offered little in return. A shot from Bellingham, a few from Mbappe and a few others. They neither attacked well nor defended in order, with Huissen and Camavinga once again looking lost. Now Xabi Alonso must now assemble the pieces of the Real Madrid team, which did not succeed at Anfield. Brazilian winger Vinicius once again was out of place and time.

Alexander - Arnold was booed

Meanwhile, only... the reception from Liverpool fans to Trent Alexander-Arnold was not warm. The return of the England international footballer to "Anfield" in a Real Madrid shirt was something that the Reds fans still cannot accept. Perhaps it was more or less expected, but it became a reality. A few months ago, Trent Alexander-Arnold broke the hearts of people who loved him with his decision to leave Liverpool as a free agent to go to Real Madrid. The English full-back returned to Anfield for the Champions League game and was substituted in the 80th minute to universal... fury. Trent Alexander-Arnold was the recipient of intense boos upon entering the game, experiencing the coldest possible reception.
