Liverpool beat Real Madrid 2-0 on Wednesday night to maintain their 100% record in the Champions League this season. They dominated Madrid most of the game, creating several chances in either half. While Thibaut Courtois kept them in the game in the first-half, Alexis Mac Allister broke the deadlock in the second with a neat finish past the Belgian to give the Reds the lead. Caoimhin Kelleher made a stunning save to deny Kylian Mbappe from the spot on the other end, while Mo Salah shot his penalty wide as well. But in the 76th minute, Cody Gakpo scored with…
Manchester City midfielder Rodri has named Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah as the toughest player he has come against ahead of the blockbuster 1-2 Premier League clash at Anfield this weekend. Rodri is out injured due to an ACL injury, and City have sorely missed his presence in the middle of the park. Enduring one of their worst runs in decades, the four-time defending Premier League champions are in unchartered territory, navigating a six-game winless run across competitions, losing the first five. The winless run very nearly got over in midweek as Pep Guardiola’s side found themselves three goals to the…
Arne Slot has warned his side and the Liverpool fans against complacency against Manchester City this weekend due to the football knowledge of Pep Guardiola. His adversary this weekend is currently experiencing his worst spell at City boss across his eight-year tenure in England. Having lost five games in a row across all competitions, they managed to fluff a three-goal lead at home against Slot’s former club Feyenoord in the Champions League this week to make matters worse. On top of that, they are still without Rodri, Mateo Kovacic, Oscar Bobb and John Stones and there are doubts over Jeremy…
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has confirmed that right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is fit to start Saturday’s Premier League clash against Manchester City. The defender was spotted in training today. The 26-year-old returned to the squad as an unused substitute in Wednesday’s Champions League victory over Real Madrid, having recovered from a hamstring injury. His return is timely, with fellow defender Conor Bradley a doubt for the game after picking up an injury against Madrid. Ibrahima Konate is also uncertain after limping off during the match. “Conor, I had to take him off, and Ibou didn’t walk off the pitch as he…
Jamie Carragher jokingly suggested that Real Madrid might be interesting in signing Conor Bradley rather than Trent Alexander-Arnold after the Liverpool academy graduate shone during Wednesday’s 2-0 Champions League group phase win. Starting at right-back, Bradley was tasked with stopping the threat of Kylian Mbappe. Alexander-Arnold, meanwhile, continues to recover from an injury and was left on the bench. He would have been delighted with the performance of his teammate, though, as Bradley largely thwarted Mbappe from causing much danger at Anfield. The standout moment for the young defender came when he smashed into a tackle on Mbappe, ending a…
Former Chelsea player Chris Sutton has said Liverpool are the favorites to win the Premier League title this season. According to Sutton, the Reds’ squad depth gives them an advantage over Manchester City and Arsenal in the grueling race for the English top-flight championship. Liverpool Have Been in a League of Their Own Jurgen Klopp’s successor, Arne Slot has been enjoying a dream debut campaign at Liverpool. The Reds have tangibly improved under him, playing the game with a lot more composure and clinicalness. Their rise has coincided with Manchester City and Arsenal’s poor run of form, which has allowed…
Whisper it quietly, but Liverpool are red-hot favourites for Sunday’s massive Premier League match with Manchester City. Why? The reasons are numerous. History is certainly on the Reds’ side. City have only won once at Anfield since 2003 – and that came during the coronavirus-hit 2020-21 season when no fans were present in the ground. But it what’s happening presently that matters more. In terms of form, Liverpool could not be playing much better. Their return of 17 wins from 19 matches under new head coach Arne Slot means they top both the Premier League and the Champions League tables…
Gareth Bale and Rio Ferdinand have praised Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister with the latter comparing the Argentine to AC Milan legend Andrea Pirlo. Mac Allister was named the Player of the Match following the Reds’ dominant 2-0 win against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League at Anfield on November 27. Mac Allister had an excellent outing in midfield. The 25-year-old looked assured on both ends of the pitch and scored Liverpool’s opening goal in the 52nd minute with a brilliant finish into the bottom-left corner. The Argentine completed 54 passes from an attempted 59 with an accuracy of…
He looked scared against Liverpool and is suffering being outside of the bubble he built for himself at Paris Saint Germain. That’s according to Real Madrid icon Guti, via Mundo Deportivo, who, like many watching, was left unimpressed by the Real Madrid forward’s performances in the 2-0 defeat to Liverpool on Wednesday. Arne Slot’s side brought their miserable run of results against the Spanish giants to an end at Anfield this week, with goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo. It could have been a different story, though, with Mbappe seeing a penalty saved in the 61st minute after…
Champions League group stage matches can be dull affairs at the best of times, with complacency thick in the air, but that was never going to be the case at Anfield on Wednesday night. The crispness of freezing weather conditions only added to the hostility for the visitors as Liverpool looked to maintain their 100 percent start to the revamped first round of the Champions League. But the league table permutations of victory or defeat were not in the forefront of people’s minds when the players took to the field amid a white hot atmosphere that would be more akin…
