Liverpool vs Real Madrid LIVE: Champions League result and final score from Anfield blockbuster

30 mins: WHAT A TACKLE! A standing ovation for Conor Bradley, who steps across and wins the perfect slide challenge on Kylian Mbappe, who was racing away!

Real Madrid had space, but Bradley responded. That has lifted Anfield.

26 mins: This match is thunderous at times, but the pace falls at others. Liverpool are being allowed easy possession, with Real Madrid dropping off. The hosts are having to be patient.

23 mins: SAVE! It should be 1-0, but Courtois is there to deny Liverpool again! The ball is loose in the Madrid box and breaks to Nunez, six yards out. But the Belgian goalkeeper rushes out and makes himself big. Nunez has no where to go but poking the ball straight at him.

He was man of the match as Real beat Liverpool in the 2022 Champions League final.

22 mins: A needless foul from Nunez as he comes back and swipes at Camavinga’s legs, outside the box. A risk from Nunez on a booking and it gives Real Madrid a free kick in a shooting position.

Guler curls over, though.

19 mins: Another battle between Nunez and Asencio after Salah zips a ball through, but it’s the centre-back who comes out on top again and shurgs Nunez off the ball.

16 mins; Great feet from Mbappe in a tight space. He wriggles away from Gravenberch before he is barged over by Van Dijk.

It’s Gravenberch who is booked though, for a clip.

Real haven't put enough pressure on the ball so far. There have been times when Liverpool have found it easy to pass through the midfield. Liverpool's more intense approach was summed up when Mohamed Salah ran back to dispossess Kylian Mbappe and start the move that ended with Darwin Nunez having a shot cleared off the line.

14 mins: Bellingham draws a foul in midfield and then almost gets on the end of a cross from Guler, who is seeing lots of the ball down the right.

Modric’s corner is cleared.

11 mins; Darwin Nunez has gone down holding his face... He’s grappling with Asencio, the rookie centre-back, who pushes towards Nunez’s chest.

Nunez has made the most of it and both players are booked. Asencio on a tightrope, but so is Nunez.

9 mins: A half-chance for Diaz, but the winger snatches at the shot and it dribbles wide. It’s been a frustrating start for Mbappe and Madrid have yet to get the ball into the France forward.
