Liverpool full match analysis after the UEFA Champions League clash with Real Madrid at Anfield
It was a moment that encapsulated not only another superb night for Curtis Jones, but also how Liverpool’s refashioned midfield is proving the key to success under Arne Slot.
Well, until this visit of Real Madrid. In the second half in particular, the ability of Jones to maintain possession and break forward with pace – allied to accurate passing and an increasing defensive awareness – made him the centrepiece of Liverpool’s engine room. Salah, though, has long shown there was never any chance of that happening. Instead, it was Kylian Mbappe who was caught standing on ceremony, Salah nicking the ball off the dawdling Frenchman to spark an early move that ended with Raul Asencio almost putting Darwin Nunez’s shot into his own net.
Indeed, Salah had the opportunity to cap his display with a goal but, after tormenting Ferland Mendy into conceding a spot kick, he slammed his effort against the outside of the post.
