After this Win, Can They Keep the Momentum Going?
Liverpool made a bold statement in the Champions League with a commanding 2-0 victory over reigning champions Real Madrid at Anfield. Under the guidance of Arne Slot, who’s already achieved what Jurgen Klopp couldn’t—defeating the Spanish giants—the Reds kept their perfect record intact and returned to the top of the group table.
Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo scored second-half goals, while Kylian Mbappe’s penalty was saved, and Mohamed Salah also missed from the spot. But those misses were irrelevant as Liverpool dominated the game from start to finish.
Real Madrid, decimated by a long list of injuries, was no match for Liverpool’s energy and intensity. With key players like Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo absent, Madrid struggled to make an impact, and the defeat saw them slip down the table.
This win keeps Liverpool on track to progress to the knockout stages, while Madrid now faces a difficult path ahead.
Can Liverpool maintain this momentum? For now, they stand as the team to watch in Europe.
