LIVERPOOL, England -- Liverpool maintained their 100% start to the UEFA Champions League with a 2-0 win against Real Madrid on Wednesday that leaves the reigning European champions in danger of missing out qualification for the knockout stages.
Second-half goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo at Anfield sealed Liverpool's fifth successive Champions League victory and moved Arne Slot's team two points clear at the top of the table. It was the Reds' first win against Los Blancos in the Champions League since March 3, 2009, ending an eight-game winless streak against the Spanish capital club (a span that included seven losses).
