Liverpool achieved a memorable victory over Real Madrid with a 2-0 scoreline in their high-stakes match on Wednesday, marking them as the only team to maintain a perfect record in this season's Champions League.
Real Madrid aimed to extend their winning streak against Liverpool to eight games at Anfield, but it appeared that Liverpool capitalized on the opportunity to turn the tide in their favour. Liverpool were ruthless in their pursuit to exact revenge of their past back-to-back eight Champions League losses to Madrid. With effective possession control and a greater number of shots, Liverpool displayed tactical prowess, while Real Madrid failed to halt the Reds' momentum.
The Tale of the Fixture
Alexis MacAllister opened the scoring for the Reds early in the second half. Real Madrid had opportunities to equalize, but they couldn't capitalize on them.
In the 60th minute, Kylian Mbappe failed to convert a crucial penalty, as the Reds goalkeeper Kelleher made a remarkable save diving to his left, adding to the miseries of the Galacticos.
Just 16 minutes later, Liverpool extended their lead with a powerful header from substitute Cody Gakpo after Mohamed Salah's penalty miss at the other end.
