How some simple adjustments made by Arne Slott helped Liverpool beat Real Madrid
Do you remember the scene from the movie The Matrix where Keanu Reeves Neo stopped a large number of bullets coming at him in the air just by raising his hands? Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois did something similar when he faced a barrage of Liverpool attacks throughout the match. The Belgian goalkeeper made some world-class saves to deny Liverpool but finally let it in when Alexis McAllister conceded a free-kick from Dominik Szoboszlai to put the Reds up 1-0 which eventually turned out to be the winner.
