"Liverpool produced another memorable performance under the lights at Anfield as they ran out 1-0 winners over Real Madrid in the Champions League. Alexis Mac Allister grabbed the only goal in what was an absorbing contest that saw Trent Alexander-Arnold, the subject of much of the pre-game conversation, return to his boyhood club for the first time since leaving in the summer."
"The scoreline would have looked far more impressive for Arne Slot's side, were it not for an inspired display by Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who pulled off a string of impressive saves in both halves. Under head coach Xabi Alonso, Los Blancos had enjoyed their best start to a season after 14 games for 64 years and were unbeaten in the Champions League this term."
"With the Anfield crowd in fine voice, Mac Allister had the game's first sight of goal, lashing an effort wide from just inside the box. At the other end, Kylian Mbappe blazed over after a neat interchange of passing between the Frenchman, Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham. It was, if not exactly threatening, an early reminder of the attacking quality the visitors possess."
