Liverpool are well underway in their Champions League charge - and they could not have got off to a better start in the new European format.
Liverpool made it two wins from two in the Champions League on Wednesday night as they beat Bologna 2-0 at Anfield . Alexis Mac Allister put the Reds ahead in the first half, before Mohamed Salah added a second in the 75th minute to earn them three more vital points. Arne Slot's side were not at their best and were fortunate not to concede at least one as Bologna created plenty of opportunities, but Liverpool's quality and experience shone through in the end.
Of course, the home clash with Real Madrid stands out as a huge encounter, but the return of Xabi Alonso to Anfield, with his reigning Bundesliga champions, and a tricky trip to RB Leipzig will test the Reds. If they come through that unscathed, you would hope the clashes with Girona and Lille represent more straightforward opportunities for success, but they cannot be underestimated.
