Courtois Keeps Madrid Alive
If not for Thibaut Courtois’ incredible saves, Real Madrid would have been humiliated at Anfield. The Belgian goalkeeper stopped Van Dijk, Ekitike, and Szoboszlai with world-class reactions, giving Madrid a lifeline they barely deserved. Fans on 12BET Malaysia could hardly believe the score stayed at 1–0 — a reminder that one man can’t save a team forever.

Liverpool Controls the Tempo
This was a different Liverpool — compact, disciplined, and ruthless on set pieces. Szoboszlai’s pinpoint cross found Mac Allister for the only goal of the night, exposing Madrid’s poor marking once again. The visitors’ defensive disorganization was shocking, showing that even with new faces, the same old problems remain.

Camavinga’s Confused Role
Manager Xabi Alonso’s decision to start Eduardo Camavinga raised eyebrows. Playing almost parallel to Tchouaméni, he left gaps in midfield while misplacing passes and losing the ball in dangerous areas. While his effort was undeniable, his positioning left Madrid unbalanced and uncertain.
Where Was the Fire?
Madrid looked drained and uninspired. Mbappé’s movements were sharp, but service was nonexistent. Bellingham and Vinícius tried to create openings, yet the team lacked urgency. For a club that prides itself on fighting spirit, this felt like a defeat of attitude rather than skill.
Liverpool’s Revival, Madrid’s Regression
Liverpool, a team once struggling for consistency, suddenly looked composed and dominant. Real Madrid, even under Alonso’s new leadership, showed worrying signs of dependency on Mbappé and lacked tactical flexibility. Fans at 12BET Malaysia were left wondering — is this the start of a decline or just fatigue?
