Rafa Benitez believes that Liverpool’s midfield trio were key to their victory over Real Madrid.
The Reds delivered a dominant display to beat the Spanish giants 2-0 in the Champions League earlier this week. Arne Slot’s side were on the front foot from the outset and got their rewards in the second half with Alexis Mac Allister opening the scoring before Cody Gakpo came off the bench to seal the win.
Liverpool have earned 17 victories in 19 games since Slot succeeded Jurgen Klopp in the Anfield dugout. Their latest scalp was the biggest of the Dutchman’s tenure so far, with the current European Cup holders humbled on Merseyside.
