Real Madrid lost from all sides, I didn't expect them to play that bad and especially for Mbappe in this match it was really bad, he had filled the left wing position in his original position because of Vinicius' absence but Mbappe was unable to show his best performance, not only because he failed to execute the penalty but there was indeed no major contribution to the team from Mbappe, it's been a long time since his arrival he should have been able to adapt but in fact he didn't.
And on the other hand it must also be admitted that Liverpool's performance has been extraordinary this season, they were not favored because of the change of coach which made it possible that they could not make the team better in their first season but Arne Slot has now really proven that he is quite extraordinary in continuing Klopp's performance and can even make the Liverpool team even better.
Well, Real Madrid seems to really need Vinicius Jr more for their attack line. Mbappe still hasn't been able to produce his best performance since he came to Real Madrid. Because usually Mbappe is very sharp and can always be relied on in attack, whether he was at PSG or when he was playing for the French national team. But at Real Madrid I saw him not playing optimally. As if he couldn't adapt to the huge pressure at a big club like Real Madrid. I wish he could enjoy the game more but I see he doesn't enjoy the game that much. So it can be seen from the way he kicked the penalty that he was not optimal. The kick is very easy to read and not that hard either. This is clearly not like the Mbappe we have known. Real Madrid's defeat will not surprise anyone because the team is not in good condition because more important players in the Real Madrid squad are absent.
It's a pity that Mbappe haven't been able to fit in to be Real Madrid savior because he is still struggling to cope with the club. I missed Vini in this match because he would have added great impact to the game by pressuring from his side, and if possible assist or score a goal. It's clear that Madrid can do without Mbappe but Madrid cannot do without Vini is big matches.
When I saw the set of players on the pitch yesterday, I knew it that Real Madrid will not be able to win Liverpool. A beautiful performance from Slot and his men, they are reall enjoying their moment this season.
