Liverpool Stun Real Madrid: What This Shocking Victory Means for the Title Race
After an obvious crisis, Liverpool showed that their victory over Aston Villa on Saturday wasn’t just a brief respite, but the first step on their way back to the top of the game, by beating Real Madrid in a huge Champions League clash at Anfield on Tuesday.
The only goal of the game came in the 61st minute, when Alexis Mac Allister headed a fine Dominik Szoboszlai free-kick home from close range.

Both managers faced selection headaches.
Arne Slot deployed Liverpool in a 4-2-3-1, with Giorgi Mamardashvili in goal behind a back four of Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konaté, Virgil van Dijk, and Andy Robertson. The double pivot featured Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister, while Dominik Szoboszlai, Florian Wirtz, and Mohamed Salah supported striker Hugo Ekitike.
