Liverpool star Ibrahima Konate was left reeling on the ground and in need of treatment following the Reds’ emphatic victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League. Goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo did the damage for Arne Slot’s side, who maintained their 100 per cent record in this year’s League Phase. But it was at the opposite end where Liverpool looked the most comfortable, with Real Madrid failing to register a shot on target from open play until the 93rd minute. The imperious Konate and centre-back partner Virgil van Dijk were at the heart of all things…
Fans have heaped praise on Conor Bradley on social media following his display in Liverpool’s UEFA Champions League clash against Real Madrid. The match ended in a 2-0 win for the Reds at Anfield on November 27. Following an eventful yet goalless first half, the home side opened the scoring with Alexis Mac Allister’s right-footed shot after being set up by Bradley in the 52nd minute. Cody Gakpo doubled the lead with a header from close range via an assist by Andy Robertson following a short corner in the 76th minute. Along with his assist, Bradley attempted two shots (one…
Carlo Ancelotti had no complaints after Real Madrid suffered a comprehensive defeat by Liverpool. The Reds continued their perfect record in this season’s Champions League with a 2-0 win at Anfield. The home side dominated from the outset but had to wait until the 52nd minute to open the scoring through Alexis Mac Allister. Less than 10 minutes later, Madrid were awarded a penalty but Kylian Mbappe was thwarted by Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher. The Reds then missed a spot-kick of their own when Mo Salah shot wide but they would double their advantage through Cody Gakpo’s header with 14…
Liverpool continued their perfect run in the Champions League with another big three points to keep their place at the top of the standings. An injury-stricken Real Madrid were sent home empty-handed after Arne Slot’s side stamped a 2-0 win in front of a lively Anfield. The European powerhouses are now way down the table in 24th place, with just six points on the board from their five games played. Meanwhile, Liverpool, after going eight points clear of Manchester City in the Premier League, remain the only club yet to drop a single point in the Champions League. The electric…
It started before the tackle on Kylian Mbappe but that was the moment that ignited the Anfield crowd just when it had begun to go a little quiet. Conor Bradley charged in, spotted his opportunity, and won the ball, sending the French World Cup winner flying. He hadn’t given Mbappe a sniff before that and he certainly didn’t after either. Liverpool had several top performers: Caoimhin Kelleher made a top save from the penalty, Curtis Jones was excellent and Ryan Gravenberch ran things in the center. Bradley, though, was the pick of the bunch. The Northern Ireland full-back might have…
Maybe they are still hurting by the fact their club bowed out of the race for his signature in the summer of 2023. Or maybe it was to try to put off a player they know all about having wished he would come here when he was departing Borussia Dortmund. But last night the Real Madrid star was upstaged by the midfielders who did sign for Liverpool in that transfer window and one of their very own. It was Alexis Mac Allister who got the goal here while Ryan Gravenberch and local boy Curtis Jones were the electricity in the…
Caoimhin Kelleher said that his recent penalty saves for Ireland and Liverpool gave him confidence that he would thwart Kylian Mbappe in the Champions League. The Reds were leading 1-0 after Alexis Mac Allister had coolly finished past Thibaut Courtois when Andy Robertson was penalized for upending Lucas Vazquez in the box. Mbappe, a peripheral figure on the night, stepped up to try and draw his side level but was denied by Kelleher, who sprung to his left to preserve the Reds’ lead. Liverpool went on to win 2-0 as Cody Gakpo doubled the Reds’ lead — after Mohamed Salah…
Arne Slot led Liverpool to a fantastic win over Real Madrid (Image: TNT Sports) Arne Slot has admitted that Real Madrid were a ‘pain in the a**’ for Liverpool before their Champions League triumph on Wednesday evening. The Reds had gone eight straight games without getting the better of Los Blancos, with their most-recent win coming in 2009. Goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo put that right this time round, sending Liverpool top of the European table with a perfect record of five wins, zero draws and zero defeats. After the game, Slot admitted that Real had been…
Arne Slot’s Liverpool reboot has its latest dividend. His team continues to boast the only 100 per cent record in the Champions League group stage and this was not just another victory, it was a swatting aside of the holders, a statement of intent. Real Madrid have hurt Liverpool more than any other opponent in Europe. In four of the previous seven seasons, they have ended their hopes – most agonisingly in the finals of 2018 and 2023. This when a night when Liverpool asserted themselves and banished a few demons in the process, star turns everywhere but especially from…
Liverpool fans rightly won’t care a jot about Mo Salah’s penalty miss amid what has been a tremendous season from their Egyptian King thus far. The former Roma hitman has collected 22 goal contributions in 19 games – including the Reds’ latest 2-0 victory over Spanish champions Real Madrid. He did have a chance to bolster that tally further after being awarded a spot-kick in the second 45 after being caught by Ferland Mendy’s trailing leg. How did Mo Salah’s family react to his penalty miss? You’d have to think it’s a little rare to see both Mo Salah and…
