When reigning European champions Real Madrid are the visitors, it’s not meant to be this easy. Not that Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Carlo Ancelotti’s side was ‘easy’ per se, but in the context of facing the record 15-times winners, with Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham, it was.
Liverpool dominated proceedings and the 2-0 scoreline actually flattered their opponents. Ancelotti called it a fair result in his post-match press conference, saying: “Liverpool deserved to win. They have a real good dynamic at the moment, they’re in great form.”
