00:01Match day is finally here with fans screaming into the stadium, excitement is
00:06off the scale and the anticipation has never been higher.
00:21A warm welcome to iconic Anfield. My name's Guy Mowbray, delighted to be
00:27joined by Sue Smith for commentary and with the atmosphere building up nicely, what a
00:31match this promises to be. It's Liverpool and they take on Real Madrid.
00:36I can't wait for this one today, the atmosphere is buzzing and I'm hoping the football lives up to it.
00:57This is the Liverpool starting line-up. Alisson is in goal, Ibrahima Kanate plays alongside
01:13Virgil van Dijk in central defence, Mohamed Salah plays with Cody Gakpo out wide and the man
01:19in task with leading the line is Ugo Ekitike.
01:26This is the Real Madrid starting line-up. Thibaut Courtois is in goal, Federico Valverde plays
01:43alongside Aurelien Suomeni in midfield and the main man up front is Kylian Mbappé.

02:25Kylian Mbappé
02:26Magnificent save, top draw goalkeeping.
02:51They opt to go short with the corner.
02:56Making decent progress here, but that's not where it was intended to go.
03:10Cody Gakpo.
03:23Dominic Sabosline.
03:27Not so much given away as cleverly won.
03:34Bellingham.
03:35Real Madrid trying to get things moving.
03:40Clearance made, but more defending to do now.
03:43And they've gone with a short one.
03:49And that's where it ends.
03:51Yeah, and I liked the approach play, but just lacked that final pass, didn't they?
03:55Alexis McAllister.
04:05Excellent reading of the game to win the ball.
04:09Oh, lovely skill to beat his marker.
04:11Jude Bellingham.
04:18Now the goalkeeper gathers the ball in easily.
04:22Cody Gakpo.
04:23Ball taken away and out of play.
04:35Alexis McAllister.
04:37Closed it down well.
04:44The ref allowing the game to flow.
04:46Bellingham.
04:47Going for the blast on goal there, but accuracy has been sacrificed for power.
04:53And now it is time for the booking.
04:56Yeah, good decision, ref.
04:58He had to be booked, didn't he?
04:59And played back to Alisson.
05:19And on to Gravenbeck.
05:24Bradley.
05:27Space to attack here for Liverpool.
05:29Players waiting in the centre.
05:33And that's been cut out.
05:34Yeah, they'll be frustrated with that.
05:36It was poor, wasn't it?
05:42Liverpool trying to get things moving.
05:50Ball won.
05:50Well read.
05:59Keeping it nicely, just waiting to pounce and put themselves in front.
06:08Cody Gakpo.
06:09And the momentum is lost.
06:10And the momentum is lost.
06:24Vinicius Junior.
06:29Delivered into the box.
06:30Oh dear.
06:31Oh dear.
06:32Everything about that wrong.
06:33Poor example of how to head the ball.
06:40Mohamed Salah.
06:41I've got the emergency exit.
06:43Please return to your vehicle.
06:44And on to Bradley.
06:46The challenge puts the ball out.
06:48Mohamed Salah.
07:09On he goes, terrific
07:15Brilliant tackle, the chance is gone
07:19Yeah, he was on his toes there to get it away
07:21Cody Gagbo
07:25Breaking a pace, this could be dangerous
07:28A promising move stalls
07:39Beaten easily here
07:46Real chance, and the first blow is delivered
07:511-0
07:52Well this is great
08:09I really like the way he's slipped past his marker here
08:12And it's good movement to get on the end of it
08:15Really shows his composure in front of goals, doesn't he?
08:31Real Madrid get the game going again
08:33Disappointed to have fallen behind
08:35Aurelien Schuermany
08:38Now Bellingham
08:40Soboslai
08:53Good work from Real Madrid to win the ball back
08:57This could get interesting
09:00Militao
09:15Now Schuermany
09:17Federico Valverde
09:21Kylian Mbappe
09:27That's a good ball
09:36There's a chance for them to go now
09:44Well it looked so promising but it's come to nothing
09:48And what a challenge
09:53Oh, could be here
10:00And it's in
10:05The goal to get us back to level pegging
10:07If we watch this again
10:20I love how he just dances by his marker
10:22Like he's not even there
10:24And then he just shows his cool
10:26To finish it off well
10:27And that brings to a close
10:36The first half
10:37Here in Liverpool
10:38Well he's certainly been influential in the first 45 minutes
10:45What have you made of his performance, Sue?
10:48Well he kept playing until the whistle
10:49And there's no finer time to score
10:51He'll just be hoping that he can carry that momentum on into the second half
10:55We're back in business
11:06One half down, one to go
11:08Real moving the ball forward
11:16What can they do from here?
11:23Ugo Eketike
11:25Perfectly anticipated
11:30Really well won
11:31Played in with that
11:38Tends to move ahead
11:41Well from a seemingly impossible angle
11:44Not far away at all
11:45Well for a moment
11:47I thought it was going to squeeze inside
11:48It's a really decent effort
11:50Bradley
11:57Bradley
11:58Now with Gravenbeck
12:01Bradley
12:03That's a good pass
12:08And a vital interception
12:12To snuff out the danger
12:13Yeah they disrupted that really well there
12:16Vinicius Junior
12:17Vinicius Junior
12:18Vinicius Junior
12:18Making decent progress here
12:26A bit too eager there
12:31Opportunity now
12:33Absolutely stunning defending
12:36Vinicius Junior
12:41Vinicius Junior
12:42A bit too eager there
12:44Free kick given
12:45Could get it over now
12:54Could get it over now
13:06Could get it over now
13:07Could get it over now
13:08Lovely set up
13:09Lovely set up
13:10And it must be
13:11Come on
13:14Well that's an own goal
13:16They'll take it of course
13:18Whoever gets the end credit
13:19Well here's the replay
13:33And I think any way you look at this
13:35It's going to go down as an own goal
13:37Really unfortunate
13:38And we're back underway
13:50At 2-1 now
13:51Gravenbeck
13:55An hour played
14:0030 to go now
14:01That's out of play
14:07It'll be a throw now
14:08Real Madrid are going to make a change now
14:13Could be setting something now
14:19And it's been cut out
14:22The whistle goes
14:23And it's going to be a penalty
14:25And it's going to be a penalty
14:25I don't know
14:34It's going to be a penalty
14:38up he steps to level things oh dear it's hard to believe we've just seen that
15:03well it's a shocking miss it's not even close guy poor poor effort
15:08now pushing forward with options available but able to deal with the danger decisively well
15:29defended Salah Bradley
15:36on to Bellingham getting closer
15:48under pressure the keepers don't well
15:54so Walsh line
16:01good pressure to force him over the touchline throw in to come
16:08substitution coming up
16:11Connor Bradley
16:15so 20 minutes left of this game
16:20well-timed tackle and over the line
16:24chance to cross here
16:37still behind but this is looking promising
16:45chance to level things
16:47and it's in
16:49the goal to get us back to level pegging
16:51well here's the replay and he shows really good composure to pick out a teammate
17:11and then from that sort of range he's never going to miss that is he
17:14it's an easy finish in the end
17:16the game level once more and we restart keenly poised for what's next
17:23Gravenberg
17:31now with Salah
17:36decent looking attack this
17:38and the game will stop
17:40offside
17:41Vinicius Junior
17:59this is what they've been looking for
18:07for the counter-attack
18:08great instinct there to cut it out
18:14he's flying forward here
18:24if they score from this they'll surely win the game
18:26there's the cut inside
18:29and a superb block
18:30taking a chance
18:37and it's been well watched by the goalkeeper
18:40Mohamed Salah
18:43Ugo Ekitike
18:48need to get tighter here
18:51change in possession
19:01yeah it was good work
19:02great off the ball to win it back wasn't it
19:04Jude Bellingham
19:08for the lead here
19:13it's in
19:15and it might well be the winning goal
19:18if we watch this again
19:37his movement is good as it has been all game
19:40and although you'd expect him to finish it
19:42he's still got to keep his cool which he certainly did
19:45so yet another goal
19:543-2 now
19:55and off they go
19:55Salah
19:58Connor Bradley
20:00not long to go
20:05but there could be something happening for them now
20:07but it will now be tidied up
20:09and cleared away
20:10Rodrigo
20:16maybe a bit of game management here
20:19time starting to ebb away
20:20promising forward burst
20:24and that is the final blast
20:36so not the result that Liverpool or their fans were hoping for
20:39disappointing to say the least
20:41what did you make of it all Sue?
20:43well they'll be absolutely gutted
20:44they were well in the game
20:46and it could have gone either way
20:47to concede so late on will have hit them hard
20:50but I'm sure they'll bounce back quickly
20:52a good performance
20:53as we've come to expect from Jude Bellingham
20:56he's been a real handful
20:57well he kept going till the very end
21:00and got his reward
21:01lovely finish for the winner
21:02and I'm sure there'll be plenty of smiles in the dressing room after that
