Overview
- Liverpool beat Real Madrid 1-0 at Anfield, with Alexis Mac Allister scoring a second-half header.
- Real Madrid managed seven shots to Liverpool’s 14 as Vinícius Júnior and Kylian Mbappé failed to register a shot on target.
- Thierry Henry called Vinícius “too scripted” and questioned why he let Conor Bradley “breathe” instead of repeatedly testing him one-on-one.
- Gareth Bale agreed the attackers lacked end product and suggested the side may be missing a focal No. 9 to maximize their pace.
- Germany’s Bild reported Madrid “plan to sell” Vinícius after recent behaviour, a claim not corroborated by the club following his apology that internally closed the substitution incident.
