At Anfield, Liverpool secured a 2-0 victory over Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, marking their first win against the Spanish giants since 2009. Goals from Alexis Mac Allister in the 52nd minute and substitute Cody Gakpo in the 76th minute sealed the win for the Reds, who have maintained a perfect record with five wins in five matches. Both Mohamed Salah and Kylian Mbappé missed penalties during the match. Mbappé had a particularly disappointing performance, losing possession 15 times and missing his penalty attempt. The defeat marks Real Madrid's third loss in five Champions League matches, leaving them struggling in 24th place with nine goals scored and nine conceded. Endrick replaced Luka Modric in the 78th minute but could not change the outcome.
