Liverpool defeated Real Madrid 2-0 at Anfield in a UEFA Champions League match, maintaining a perfect group stage record. Goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo secured the win. In the 61st minute, Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher saved Kylian Mbappé's penalty, which was Real Madrid's first shot on target and marked the first time Mbappé has missed a penalty in the Champions League. Kelleher has saved three penalties in the last 14 days. Mbappé had a disappointing performance with zero goals and zero assists. Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed confidence, stating, "We will go through." The defeat leaves Real Madrid with six points from five matches, at risk of elimination and making unwanted history by losing three group stage games for the first time.
