Liverpool has regained color since the start of November. Following its success against Aston Villa (2-0) on Saturday in the Premier League, the Mersey club ended a dark series of four consecutive defeats in the league.
This Tuesday, the Reds continued their new dynamic by winning against Real Madrid (1-0) in the Champions League at home. This second success in as many matches allows Arne Slot’s team to regain confidence before the next big match, scheduled for this Sunday against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
Haaland in the viewfinder
Captain Virgil Van Dijk is already preparing for this trip to the Eastlands. Rightly so, since he and his friend in central defense, Ibrahima Konaté, had to contain Kylian Mbappé on the Merengue side. This weekend, they will face Erling Haaland on the Citizens side.
“We won tonight, a big game from us, and now we already have to focus on the clash against Manchester City. It will be a bit similar to tonight, I think, with a striker in very good form opposite. Like today against Mbappé. You will have to be on top. Today we showed that we were solid defensively”declared the 1m95 rock in the mixed zone.
