"LIVERPOOL, England -- Alexis Mac Allister scored the winning goal as Liverpool's revival continued with a 1-0 victory over Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League. Liverpool thought they had won a penalty in the first half when referee Istvan Kovacs judged Aurélien Tchouaméni to have handled the ball, but VAR ruled the midfielder's arms were in a natural position."
"Courtois made another stunning stop to keep out Virgil van Dijk early in the second half; however, the Belgium international was finally beaten when Mac Allister nodded home Szoboszlai's free kick in the 61st minute. Much of the buildup to the game had been dominated by talk of Trent Alexander-Arnold's return to Anfield, and the defender was jeered when he was introduced from the bench in the 78th minute."
