Liverpool head coach Arne Slot hailed an impressive performance against an “incredible” Real Madrid after Alexis Mac Allister’s header secured a 1-0 Champions League win.

The hosts’ domination was reflected in the statistics which saw them force Thibaut Courtois, the goalkeeper who broke their hearts in the 2022 final, to make nine saves from a total of 17 attempted shots.
