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.

Following the victory, Liverpool are two points clear of second-placed Inter Milan, who beat RB Leipzig 1-0 on Tuesday evening. Meanwhile, Barcelona and Dortmund share the same 12 points in third and fourth place, respectively.

As the hectic schedule is set to continue through next month, the ECHO has taken a look at Liverpool's upcoming league fixtures in all competitions.

Manchester City (H) - Premier League - Sunday, December 1.

Newcastle United (A) - Premier League - Wednesday, December 4.

Everton (A) - Premier League - Saturday, December 7.

Girona (A) - Champions League - Tuesday, December 10.

Fulham (H) - Premier League - Saturday, December 14.

Southampton (A) - Carabao Cup - Wednesday, December 18.

Nonetheless, Liverpool are well placed to secure a place in the last-16, with games against Girona, Lille and PSV still to come in their final three fixtures in the Champions League.

Their focus will now turn to the Premier League, however, with Pep Guardiola's City set to visit Anfield this weekend. Eight points separate the two sides following the Reds' impressive campaign under Slot so far.
