The game was pivotal for both teams, with Liverpool seeking to solidify their standing at the top of the group while Real Madrid aimed to recover from a shaky start to their Champions League campaign.

Liverpool celebrate the end of their Real Madrid hoodoo.
As the match progressed, both superstars faced high-pressure situations from the penalty spot. Mbappe had a chance to equalise when Real Madrid was awarded a penalty after a foul in the box.
However, his shot was saved by Liverpool’s goalkeeper, Caoimhin Kelleher. Salah then had an opportunity to score from the spot to double the Reds’ lead but fired his attempt off target, further compounding the disappointment for fans of both clubs.

In his post-match comments, Slot emphasised the human aspect of these moments in his defence for both players.
“Both showed today that they’re human beings,” the Dutchman told UEFA.com moments after the game.

MO Salah ensured Mbappe never walked alone at Anfield.
“In Mbappé’s case, Kelleher was outstanding. He has done remarkably for us, just like our other goalkeeper [Alisson Becker], who has been remarkable too,” he added.
This acknowledgment reflects not only the pressure that comes with playing at such a high level but also highlights Kelleher’s impressive performance in goal following Becker’s injury.

Despite their individual struggles, Liverpool’s victory was comprehensive, with Cody Gakpo sealing the win with a second goal late in the match. The victory is particularly sweet for Slot and his squad, as they exacted revenge on Real Madrid, who had previously dominated encounters between the two clubs.
The loss leaves Real Madrid in a precarious position in their group standings, currently sitting 24th and facing an uphill battle to secure advancement to the knockout stages.

Alex flexes!
In contrast, Liverpool’s confidence is soaring as they prepare for an upcoming Premier League showdown against Manchester City, further solidifying their status as one of Europe’s top teams this season.

![France’s greatest ever player worried about ‘lost’ Mbappe at Real Madrid 26 Frances greatest ever player worried about ‘lost Mbappe at Real](https://turo247newz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Frances-greatest-ever-player-worried-about-‘lost-Mbappe-at-Real.jpg.webp)
France’s greatest ever player – Kylian Mbappe has struggled…
Kylian Mbappe has struggled to make the impact expected of him at Real Madrid
Michel Platini, one of the most iconic figures in French football history, has voiced concerns about Kylian Mbappe’s form, describing the Real Madrid star as “lost on the pitch.”
PAY ATTENTION: Stay updated with the Latest Football News from Pulse Sports.
The remarks come as the 25-year-old struggles to replicate his previous heights both for club and country, sparking debate about his future at Real Madrid.
Mbappe’s form raises alarms with Platini
Platini, a pivotal figure in France’s 1984 European Championship triumph, expressed unease over Mbappe’s recent performances during an interview, saying, “A great champion must be reborn from his ashes, systematically.”

Mbappe’s output this season has been inconsistent. While he has managed seven goals in 12 La Liga matches, his Champions League record of just one goal in five appearances has drawn scrutiny.
His most recent performance against Liverpool, where he missed a penalty in a 2-0 defeat, has raised questions about his suitability for Real Madrid.

On the international stage, Mbappe’s absence from the French squad in recent windows has also been a source of concern after manager Didier Deschamps opted to omit him, citing it as a move in the best interests of all parties.
Platini hopes for Mbappe resurgence
Additionally, off-the-field controversies have added to the pressure as in October, Swedish media reported allegations of misconduct against Mbappe, claims which his legal team firmly denied as baseless.

Kylian Mbappe had a night to forget for Real Madrid at Anfield.
Despite the challenges, Platini remains hopeful that Mbappe’s current struggles will serve as a temporary setback rather than a defining period.
With Real Madrid central figure Vinicius Junior sidelined through injury, the onus is on Mbappe to lead the team in pursuit of their goals.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina – The Saudi power couple…
The Saudi power couple have opted for a new luxury space in Riyadh.

Georgina teased the transition with a glamorous Instagram video that has left her 64 million followers buzzing with curiosity.
Georgina teased the transition with a glamorous Instagram video on her stories that has left her 64 million followers buzzing with curiosity.
According to Marca, the video showcased a stunning transformation: from an empty, construction-filled space to an impeccably styled living room divided into three zones — two plush seating areas complete with TVs and a sophisticated dining section boasting an elegant table and chairs for ten.
The interiors feature gleaming white stone floors, modern gold-accented lighting, and enormous windows offering views of a lush garden with a glistening pool at its centre.
An additional indoor pool adds a touch of indulgence to the property.

Situated in Al Muhammadiyah, an elite district of Riyadh known for its Westernised vibe, the new home is perfect for the family.
Though smaller than their previous residence, it is looks tailored for a life of ease.
From luxury hotel to a new family haven: Ronaldo and Georgina’s new home

When Ronaldo made his high-profile move to Al-Nassr almost two years ago, the family initially stayed at the ultra-luxurious Four Seasons hotel.
They later settled into a palatial home that has since been rented out, although the price remains a mystery.
Their decision to downsize has sparked plenty of chatter online.
Fans speculate whether this move marks a shift in priorities for the power couple.
