Liverpool next six fixtures ahead of Man City game after Real Madrid Champions League win
Liverpool extended their unbeaten run in the Champions League after a 2-0 win over Real Madrid. Arne Slot's team climbed to the top of the European competition after second-half goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo.
Caoimhin Kelleher saved a penalty in the second half, denying Kylian Mbappe the opportunity to equalise. Alisson, who is currently sidelined with injury, could be seen smirking from behind the bench as Kelleher got down to his left to deny the French superstar.
Mohamed Salah also stepped up from the spot but saw his effort wide. The Reds, along with Atalanta and Inter Milan, remain the only teams unbeaten in the competition.
