You are right. Liverpool new coach Arne Slott's team has been very motivated and consistently performing positively under his management and has defeated Real Madrid for the first time in many years. In the first session of the game, neither team was able to score a goal, although Liverpool's attacking players tried hard. Watching the game, I felt that Madrid's defense was very weak, as a result of which the goalkeeper had to repel several attacks. The first goal was scored in the 52nd minute by Liverpool Argentine midfielder Mac Alistair. After that Madrid got a great penalty but Mbappe failed to score and this was a very important moment of the game. Although Liverpool missed penalty goal opportunity in the 70th minute of the match, they went ahead 2-0 in the 76th minute.
Madrid were outclassed in midfield and were unable to control the ball well. Modric was dropped a little further back and that gave him a tough task to distribute the ball forward and also block the flow of Liverpool's attack who had good possession in midfield.
Madrid were outclassed in every way in the match, and it will be Ancelotti's job to solve their problems against teams in the Champions League. Will Madrid be like Man City?
