Liverpool manager Arne Slot expressed relief and satisfaction after his team secured a much-needed victory over Real Madrid at Anfield, ending a 15-year winless streak against the Champions League holders. The Reds, led by goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo, demonstrated a dominant performance, bringing their Champions League win tally to five from five games.
Soccer Football - Champions League - Liverpool v Real Madrid - Anfield, Liverpool, Britain - November 27, 2024 Liverpool manager Arne Slot and Conor Bradley celebrate after the match REUTERS/Molly Darlington LIVERPOOL , England : Manager Arne Slot expressed relief on Wednesday that Liverpool had finally managed to beat Real Madrid for the first time in 15 years but stressed he was not getting carried away by his team's perfect start in the Champions League.
"You know how special it is to play against a team that has won the Champions League so many times. They were a pain for Liverpool for many years too," said a delighted Slot, whose team has now won five out of five in Europe's elite club competition. With his team top of both the Champions League and the Premier League, Slot has made an astonishing start since replacing Juergen Klopp, adding more solidity at the back and control in midfield without sacrificing attacking threat.
Goalscorer Mac Allister echoed his boss' caution against getting over-confident, downplaying talk of Liverpool now being favourites to win the Champions League.
