Timo Curtois’ amazing saves prevented Liverpool from scoring any goals in the first half of the match, despite Liverpool having the majority of the assaults. The first half finished in a goalless draw despite both teams having chances.
As the second half got underway, Liverpool increased their pressure on Real Madrid and won the game in the fifty-second mark thanks to a good shot from Alex Mac Allister from the 18-yard area that Timo Courtois took right-handed to score it 1-0.After having the advantage to make a comeback, Real Madrid increased their offensive and had an opportunity to tie the score when Lucas Vasquez was fouled in the 18-yard box. Kylian Mbaape chose to put the penalty kick in the left-hand corner of the goalkeeper’s net, but Kelleher saved it. As the game went on, Ferland Mendy fouled Mohammad Salah in the 69th minute, earning him a penalty for his spectacular dribbles in the 18-yard box. Mohammed Salay missed the penalty after sending Timo Courrtois in the wrong direction, denying Liverpool the opportunity to double their lead.Following their recent success, Liverpool scored their second goal in the 76th minute thanks to a fantastic cross from Robertson and an excellent header from Gakpo. Liverpool defeats Real Madrid 2-0 in the match after both teams had taken their chances.
Mbaape has not had a successful season since joining Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain. Like he did with his previous side, he is struggling to score goals in the La Liga and Champion League.At Real Madrid, Mbaape has only scored once in all of the Champions League games played so far, and Kelleher stopped him from scoring twice in a penalty against Liverpool.
