Arne Slot did something vs Real Madrid that not even Jurgen Klopp did at Liverpool

Liverpool look like they are getting back to their best after victory against Real Madrid.

The Reds got past Real Madrid in the Champions League courtesy of a singular goal from Alexis Mac Allister, although the scoreline does not reflect how comfortable they really were.

The Spanish giants hardly laid a glove on Liverpool and did not threaten as much as fans would have thought, although that might be down to just how good Arne Slot’s side were.

The Dutchman looks to have got his side playing excellent football again, with fans very much behind him after a period of uncertainty.

And, during the game against Madrid, there was something that Slot did that even Jurgen Klopp could not do.

Arne Slot never had to jeer the crowd up

Anfield is somewhat of a fortress and on European nights especially, the atmosphere is absolutely electric.

This was the case against Madrid, with this one of the loudest the fans had been in a long time, with the noise really suffocating the away players.

One thing that a pitchside reporter for BBC Sport spotted too was that Slot did not once have to jeer up the crowd, whereas Klopp would often need to during his tenure.

The German was often seen waving his arms in the air or fist-pumping the crowd to get them on their feet and being loud, but Slot did not need to do this.

The supporters recognised just how big the match and showed to the boss how they can be a real asset, with this one of the reasons they got over the line.

Now, he will be hoping that Anfield will be like this almost every time, as if this is the case, then Liverpool’s upturn in results might just continue.

Liverpool must take this performance into the Man City game

There is just one match left before the international break and for Liverpool, this comes against none other than Man City.

Games between these two never fail to live up to expectation, with the result still meaning more than ever for the title race this season.

A win could see them going into the break in second, perhaps even just four points behind Arsenal should they lose to Sunderland away from home.

If they play like they did against Madrid, there is a strong chance they will get a result, and it might just be one to get their season back on track for good.
