How a few simple tweaks by Arne Slot helped Liverpool outclass Real Madrid
Remember the scene from the Matrix where Keanu Reeves’ Neo managed to stop a huge number of bullets coming towards him in mid-air by just holding up his hands? Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois did something similar when he faced a barrage of Liverpool attacks throughout the match. The Belgian goalie made some world class stops to deny Liverpool but he finally let one in when Dominik Szoboszlai’s free kick was met by Alexis Mac Allister who headed the Reds to a 1-0 lead which ultimately turned into the winner.
