The Reds dominated the whole game and won 2-0 with the goals of Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo to continue their impressive form, winning all five games in the UEFA Champions League.
With the recent result, Real Madrid is placed 24th in the table with three more matches, which will be decisive for them after achieving only two wins and three losses in five matches, collecting only six points.
Next Real Madrid’s match in the Champions League is against Atalanta away who are placed 5th in the table, which could be a huge problem for the Spanish side. After traveling to Italy, Los Blancos will face the 32nd place RB Salzburg and on 29th January they face Brest in France.
On the other hand, Arne Slot’s boys are the only team in the competition to win every single match. Liverpool is placed top of the table with 15 points, 2 points more than Inter Milan who are placed second.
Liverpool’s Champions League table run will be easier after winning every single match, facing Girona on matchday six, Lille at Anfield on 21 January, and PSV on 29 January.
Against Real Madrid, the Reds controlled most of the game, with 63% ball possession, and 17 goal attempts which seven went in the direction of Thibaut Courtois’s goal. Liverpool also completed 245 more passes than Ancelotti’s boys, which shows the total domination of the English side.
The next challenge for Arne Slot is the derby match against Manchester City which will be played at Anfield on the first of December. Pep Guardiola’s team has not recorded a single win in the last six games, losing five of them and drawing once.
The Citizen’s last Premier League match ended in a humiliation after losing to Tottenham 4-0 in their own stadium and their travel to Merseyside to receive points from this Liverpool superteam will be an almost impossible mission.
Real Madrid’s bad luck did not end after the full-time whistle after their bus crashed in the motorway, which was used for the players and the staff to arrive at Anfield before the kick-off.
It has been reported that when the accident occurred, inside the bus were two drivers, the traveling manager, and a security member, but there were no injuries.
