Liverpool secured a statement 1-0 win over an in-form Real Madrid in the Champions League at Anfield.
The win was sealed by a single second-half goal from Alexis Mac Allister. On the night that Trent Alexander-Arnold returned to Anfield, receiving a mixed reception, the celebrations were all red.
The visitors dominated possession early on, but it was Arne Slot's side who went closer to scoring in the first half. Thibaut Courtois threw out a foot to deny Dominik Szoboszlai at close quarters.
A VAR penalty check for a potential handball from Aurelien Tchouameni wasn’t given.
