Real Madrid and Mbappé live a nightmare at Liverpool

Liverpool continues to be unbeatable in the Champions League and leaves Real Madrid in a very delicate situation after the English beat the Spaniards 2-0 in a match that had everything. Goals from Mac Allister and Gakpo in the second half sealed a clash in which Mbappé, once again, proved to be in a tunnel with no way out. The Frenchman missed a penalty that would have meant a 1-1 draw. Salah also missed a penalty for Liverpool, but Kylian continues to live a nightmare.

The first half was back and forth, with Liverpool coming very close to the goal, first with a ball that Asencio cleared off the line after three minutes and then with a shot from Darwin Núñez that Courtois saved.

But Real Madrid also carried danger with Mbappé and Brahim, although they had a harder time hurting the Liverpool defense. The duel was intense from minute one and the danger was constant in both areas, where the quality of both teams was evident.

The first half ended in a goalless draw, but the result was misleading, as both teams were very forgiving. Darwin Núñez, along with Salah and Luis Díaz, was a torment for the Real Madrid defense, where Rüdiger and Asencio resisted their attacks with solvency.

On the other side, Mbappé, Brahim and Güler missed several counterattacks in which they had the advantage, but the Frenchman showed once again in those first 45 minutes that he still lacks the confidence that has crowned him other seasons as the best player in the world.

Impotence

Liverpool struck first with Mac Allister's goal. Real Madrid responded quickly, but Kelleher, who had a great game, made an extraordinary save. The Liverpool goalkeeper was also instrumental in the victory.

When Real Madrid pressed, Salah also missed a penalty, but Liverpool sealed the game with a header from Gakpo, who came on in the second half.

From then on, the Spanish team was desperate and Liverpool's goalkeeper responded to every shot. Mbappé ended up desperate, Courtois stood as the best of Real Madrid and Ancelotti's team sees how this Champions League is very complicated for them. A very painful defeat.
