England players rating second encounter: Real Madrid 1-0 Liverpool

Liverpool’s player ratings for last night’s 1-0 loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League

Alison Becker 9

Vinicius made a brilliant save early on from close range and pinned Camavinga at the crossbar with fingertip.

Trent Alexander Arnold 6

Another test night against Vinicius, although the winger refused a good counter in the second half. Relentlessly probed with overtaking, which was always meant positively.

Ibrahima Konat 8

Covered for Alexander-Arnold whenever he could and didn’t mind the physical threat from Benzema. Impressive display of game pace and playback. Virgil van Dijk6

Regularly tried to play diagonally for Salah as Real tried to get the ball away from him. Some good interventions in the second half.

Andy Robertson 7

Crashed with more consistency in the first half and provided defensive bite. After the break, he became a real left winger at times. subordinate.

Fabina 6

He has tried to keep things simple in midfield, but has too often been slow in his thoughts and his passing has not always been on time.

James Milner6

He’s come out in several positions before the break and hasn’t been afraid to put his shoe in it all. submerged.

Mohammed Salah 6

He always looked dangerous in possession and created a first-half chance for Nunez. However, he should have done better to release the same player after the break and he became a target for the Madrid defence.

Cody Gakpo6

Saw a batiste who was saved by Courtois but was otherwise too peripheral in the number 10 role. Switched to the left wing in the second half. subordinate.

Darwin Nunez 7

Forced two good saves from Courtois in the first half and a threat when he had the chance to run at Carvajal. Vivid appearance. submerged.

Diogo jota 5

Mishit a cross from Salah and although there was the usual effort he was hardly involved otherwise. submerged.

Roberto Firmino (for Jota 57) 6

Take on Vinicius as the protagonist.

Harvey Elliott (for Nunez 57) 6

He brought energy and spark. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (for Milner 73) 6

Rare release.

Kostas Tsimikas (for Robertson 90+1)

Enough time to be booked

Fabio Carvalho (for Gakpo 90+1)

It also appeared.
