Real Madrid merciless at Anfield (2-5)

Liverpool legend Sir Kenny Dalglish laid a wreath of white flowers in front of the fans Real Madrid. Anfield applauded Amancio Amara. He predicted a class of two teams that add up to twenty European titles and share a diagnosis. They attack fiercely and defend cautiously. Klopp played as he planned. Along with the already recovered Van Dijk, as Joe Gomez’s partner, Darwin Núñez completes the offensive trident, together with Salah and Gakpa, and that driver Bajčetić who Liverpool recruited to Vigo as a cadet and who does not have a driver’s license outside the field.

Madrid trembled already in the first minute, by playing Camavinga, which Gapko missed with an untimely slip in the penalty area. Klopp gritted his teeth at the technique. In a short touch, after recovering from Stefan, the first shot was born. Minute 4. Bajčetić opened for Henderson, who found a partner in Salah to give him speed. The Egyptian took off his right hand, stuck it and placed it between Alaba and Carvajal so that Darwin Núñez, with the spur, laid it in the net.

Anfield roared, and Madrid remained petrified, like a child before a wound. Salah had the second with an individual odyssey of a zillion touches. With the latter, he sent the ball to the side. Courtois followed her with a look. The Belgian, transparent in the last Champions League final, with which Madrid minimally blew away Liverpool in Paris, was missing five minutes to score against Karius. Carvajal returned the threatened ball, Thibaut had time to control it and make a decision. The bar slipped in a turn, he slipped and went to the ground, and Salah only needed to pounce on the ball half a meter away to score at will. Passionately.

Ancelotti gave Fede Valverde the midfield and Rodrygo Goes a forward position with Benzema and Vinícius. A more ambitious bet that only paid the bills in a quarter of an hour. Madrid needed something to believe in their identity. He got it from a pass from Benzema that Vini connected in a parabola, saving Joe Gómez, to cut short. The first ring and Liverpool already had a white manual on the counter.

Alisson imitated Courtois

There was no foul play. The shooting gained height on the grass without anyone slowing down. Salah recreated himself too much with the third in his legs. From the crowd in the small area of ​​Madrid, the non-existent hand of Militao was examined in the clearance and Alaba was injured. Nacho entered. If it is difficult to imagine a scene like Courtois’s in a match of this caliber, it is unforgettable to see it in pairs. Joe Gomez delayed Alisson’s shot. Vinícius accepted his lack of pressure and prepared for a reversal. But Becker’s shot hit the Madridista in a funny way and slipped inside. Among the compatriots, they interpreted another apology as absurd. And Madrid, who dug into the room, were already on the level. I restarted the machine. He could go on vacation ahead. Henderson saved Liverpool, taking Rodrygo’s cross from a free Vinícius.

After returning from the dressing room, Modrić pulled the scoreboard from a lateral foul on the Brazilian. Militao towered over the statues behind Klopp. Excess tuning. Madrid have already put him on their side.

The rest has already worked with Vinícius. The goal spurred Madrid on, giving them the perfect scenario and space to run. Benzema capitalized on a rebound from a hapless Joe Gomez to score the fourth goal. After Modric’s steal from Bajčetić, which went through Vinícius, Karim recreated himself in a cut on Alisson to make another one. Six times five goals. An excess of malice.
