Liverpool, meanwhile, had been struggling for consistency - losing six games in all competitions and looking vulnerable in the weeks leading up to the clash.Yet Arne Slot's men fully deserved their win, with Conor Bradley silencing Vinicius Jr and Ryan Gravenberch keeping Jude Bellingham under control.

"Especially [Real Madrid], who had a lot of the ball but without decisiveness."Although players like Vinicius or Bellingham got into the game a lot with it, not so other more lethal ones like Mbappe who was missing during the first half." The outlet also handed Trent Alexander-Arnold - introduced in the second half to vicious boos - a poor one-star rating.Cadena SER went after Bellingham as well, criticising the England midfielder and Mbappe for failing to contribute defensively: "Real Madrid has a problem with aerial balls.

"Real Madrid suffered from complacency, forgetting to press after the 20-minute mark and letting themselves be dictated by Arne Slot's tactics," they noted."And yes, the ultimate responsibility lies with those on the pitch, but the mistakes made in the mixed marking of a corner (Vinicius marking Van Dijk) or in the substitutions are and will be the responsibility of the coach - or his coaching staff, who, for the moment, have been unable to find the right formula for, for example, defending set pieces."The publication also praised Bradley, who neutralised Vinicius throughout the match: "In La Liga, with Vinicius consistently leaving his markers a foot behind, he'll benefit. However, if he encounters players like Bradley who can keep up with him, his advantage is minimised."It was arguably Liverpool's strongest display of the campaign - and one of Real Madrid's weakest.
