welcome to the second half show
HALF TIME 0-0
A brief moment for Real Madrid as they build up in the Reds' half, with two attempts from Mbappe and Arda Guler. However, both efforts miss the target, with Guler’s shot swaying wide for a goal kick. Thanks to Camavinga in central midfield for his key role in the build-up today.
The first half ends in a cagey affair, with both teams creating clear chances but failing to capitalize on them.

39' Liverpool are now pressuring the visitors
Liverpool makes two attempts, both off target. Díaz swings the ball in from the left wing, and it finds Mo Salah, but his assist gets intercepted. A few minutes later, Liverpool plays some good football, but Curtis Jones skies it over the bar. A minute later, they attack again, but this time it’s Rüdiger who makes a crucial clearance to deny the Reds the lead.
Equal Energy
Both teams are building up for something, but Real Madrid looks more composed than Liverpool, as they are more desperate for a goal.
Nunez with an attempt
Núñez was almost to give Liverpool the lead! Mendy clears the ball in Madrid’s box, but it deflects right to Núñez. However, Courtois quickly rushes out to block his shot and keep the score level. A great save from what many consider the best goalkeeper in the world.
Dangerous tackle by Nunez
Dáwin Núñez commits a rough challenge on Camavinga, and Real Madrid is awarded a free kick just three yards from the post. However, Antonio Rüdiger misses the chance from the spot. Arda Güler takes the free-kick but knuckleballs it just over the bar. Kelleher wasn’t too worried.
