Andy Robertson Praises Liverpool's Performance Against Real Madrid
Andy Robertson expressed pride in Liverpool's "massive all-round performance" following their 1-0 victory over Real Madrid at Anfield. The Reds dominated the Champions League match and secured a well-deserved win thanks to Alexis Mac Allister’s header just after the hour mark.
Consistent Team Effort
Building on their recent 2-0 win against Aston Villa, Robertson highlighted the team’s consistency and collective effort:
“Really pleasing. Glad we built on Saturday, trying to bring that consistency back. I thought from minute one we were all bang there tonight and just carried on from Saturday in terms of being hard to beat, working hard for each other, always trying to help your mate out.”
Quality on the Field
Robertson noted the high quality of Liverpool's play despite some heroic goalkeeping from Real Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois:
“Then I thought the quality was there as well. I thought their goalkeeper was outstanding, he obviously managed to keep the score down. We had a few big chances, especially at the start of the second half. But 1-0, a pleasing night, a massive three points for us and now we move on.”
Challenges Against Courtois
Before Mac Allister’s goal, Courtois made several remarkable saves, testing Liverpool’s persistence. Robertson reflected on facing such a top-class goalkeeper repeatedly:
“You just have to keep going. Probably the lads who played in the final in Paris had a bit of déjà vu! He’s an unbelievable goalkeeper, exceptional, and he always seems to bring out his best against us.”
Robertson’s comments underline Liverpool’s resilience and drive to maintain momentum in their campaign.
Summary: Andy Robertson applauded Liverpool’s dominant and determined performance to secure a crucial 1-0 Champions League win over Real Madrid, highlighting teamwork and persistence despite Courtois' exceptional goalkeeping.
