Liverpool’s triumph over Real Madrid reshapes Champions League history with an unforgettable milestone.
Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Real Madrid carved a pivotal moment in Champions League history, breaking an eight-match winless streak against the Spanish giants that had persisted since 2009. Meanwhile, Real Madrid, enduring a dismal season under Carlo Ancelotti, languishes in 24th place with just two wins from five matches.
Their troubles began with a shocking defeat to Lille in October, followed by a heavy home loss to AC Milan. The recent loss to Liverpool marks an unwelcome first for the 14-time champions: three group-stage defeats in a single Champions League campaign.
Strikes from Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah propelled Premier League leaders Liverpool closer to securing qualification, while leaving Real Madrid teetering on the brink of elimination. Reflecting on his team’s struggles, Carlo Ancelotti admitted they are “missing something” and emphasized the urgent need for improvement.
