Anfield was the setting on Wednesday evening for the clash of the fifth day of the league phase of the new Champions League between Liverpool FC and Real Madrid. Very decimated, the White House logically lost with a score of 2-0 to the Reds. At the end of the meeting, the English midfielder from Real Madrid had a brief exchange with the French striker.

Led by the score since 52^e (1-0), Real Madrid had the opportunity to get back into the game thanks to the penalty obtained by Lucas Vazquez (61^e), who had entered the game five minutes earlier. But Kylian Mbappé missed his shot. Real Madrid then paid cash by conceding the second goal (76^e), thus losing with a score of 2-0 against an opponent he had beaten in the finals of the competition in 2018 and 2022. While Mbappé had the spotlight on him given that Vinicius Junior was injured, the Bondynois disappointed.

Although he already declared after the match that the missed penalty was not the reason for the White House's defeat, Bellingham comforted his French teammate in the Anfield dressing room. “This game should be forgotten now, but we will improve and the next time we face them we will beat them”Jude Bellingham would have said to Kylian Mbappé in the Anfield locker room after the match, according to comments reported by Central Defense. Highly criticized in Spain after this meeting, the captain of the Blues must have good matches soon.
