Slot on 'pleasing' Real Madrid win

Liverpool manager Arne Slot speaking to TNT Sports: "You know how special it is to play against a team that has won the Champions League so many times. They were a pain for Liverpool for many years too. It is a big week and it is pleasing to see.

"I didn't have a schedule in terms of amount of points I wanted. You want to implement the playing style as soon as possible. It is great to see not only the starters, but the players coming on are doing as we expect. If before the season I had counted points for this point in the season I wouldn't have done as much as we have now.

"Every time Real Madrid threatened is was from us. I think we can play with more intensity and be better with the ball."
