After being criticized for fielding a squad of many young players and reserves in the match against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup, Arne Slot was forced to win against Aston Villa in the Premier League to dispel doubts.
The Dutch coach is at risk of becoming Liverpool's first manager to suffer a consecutive year of defeat in the Premier League. However, he finally had a timely reaction.
Mohamed Salah's 250th career goal and Ryan Gravenberch's goal helped The Kop defeat Aston Villa, end a series of gloomy days and bring confidence to fans at Anfield.
Previously, the resounding 5-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League helped Liverpool rise to the top group, while extending their 15-match winning streak at home in the group stage of the European Cup.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid have won all 3 matches in the Champions League this season against Marseille, Kairat and Juventus, and continue to lead the race for the La Liga championship after a series of sublime matches. Notably, they crushed Valencia 4-0 just a few days after defeating Barcelona in El Clasico.
Liverpool won their first victory against Real Madrid in the European Cup 1 final in 1981, They then continued to leave the opponent out of the Champions League with a total score of 5-0 in 2009.
However, since then, the balance of power has completely leaned towards the Spanish Royal team. Real Madrid have won seven and drawn one of their next eight meetings, including two Champions League finals in 2018 and 2022.
