Liverpool Champions League Winning Streak Highlights
Liverpool’s Champions League winning streak remains unbroken as Darwin Nunez’s goal secures another victory against RB Leipzig, extending their flawless start under Arne Slot. This success marks Liverpool’s 11th win out of 12 matches across all competitions, underlining the effectiveness of their new Dutch manager.
In the match, Nunez made a significant impact by scoring in the 27th minute, capitalizing on a setup by Mohamed Salah. The Uruguay forward was a constant threat and nearly scored a second goal before the break, but his effort was thwarted by Peter Gulacsi, a former Liverpool player. Despite RB Leipzig’s attempts, including two disallowed goals for offside, Liverpool’s strategic gameplay ensured their eighth consecutive victory.
Key Moments in Liverpool’s RB Leipzig Victory
Liverpool’s defense, supported by goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, was instrumental in maintaining the lead and extending their Champions League winning streak. Kelleher redeemed himself with crucial saves after an initial misstep that almost led to a Leipzig goal. Although the team had a penalty appeal dismissed when Nunez was clipped, they remained focused, preventing Leipzig from scoring throughout the match.
Liverpool’s solid performance was further highlighted by contributions from players like Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo, who reinforced the team’s dominance on the field. The victory places Liverpool alongside Aston Villa with a perfect record in the Champions League’s new 36-team league phase, strengthening their position for upcoming matches against Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid.
With six wins in six away games, Liverpool supporters are optimistic about their team’s trajectory towards the knockout stages. For more exciting Champions League moments, watch highlights on BBC iPlayer and follow additional sports insights on Eurasia Sports.
