"[I am] very pleased. It's been a tricky few weeks for us. Lot's of away games, hardly any rest between games. But it helps when you can play in front of these fans and against [Real] Madrid because that brings the best I think out of my players."
"[It was a] great performance against a team that has lost once this season. It could have been a bit more maybe but he [Courtois] made a few saves close to him and he's one of the best goalkeepers in the world."
"I said before the game, they [Real] have scored 26 goals in LaLiga and [Kylian] Mbappe and Vinicius [Jr] together have 24 goals contributions. So if you want to have any chance of winning this game you have to make sure these two are not on the scoresheet. The whole team defended really well."
Liverpool defeated Real Madrid 1-0 at Anfield thanks to an Alexis Mac Allister header from a Dominik Szoboszlai free-kick. Trent Alexander-Arnold's return to Anfield featured in pre-match talk but Mac Allister's goal defined the evening. Thibaut Courtois produced several important saves to keep the scoreline close. The win delivered Liverpool's first consecutive victories since September and elevated them into the Champions League top six. Manager Arne Slot praised the fans and said matches against Real Madrid bring out strong performances. Slot emphasised defensive discipline to contain Mbappe and Vinicius Jr and noted a need to adapt to different playing styles.
