Sports Desk, Nov 27 (EFE).-

Liverpool kept their Champions League hopes alive with a deserved 2-0 win over reigning champions Real Madrid at Anfield.

Second-half goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo confirmed the Reds’ supremacy as Real’s hopes faded after two missed penalties from Kylian Mbappe and Mohamed Salah.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa and Juventus played out a bitter draw at Villa Park.

A late goal from Morgan Rogers that could have changed the game for Aston Villa, was disallowed after a quick VAR check.

Lucas Digne also went close with a free-kick just before the break that flew inches over the crossbar.

Ollie Watkins was denied too by Michele Di Gregorio’s.

Borussia Dortmund stayed on course for a top-eight finish and automatic qualification to the knockout stages of the Champions League with a 3-0 win over hosts Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday.
