Liverpool had previously beaten Real Madrid 2-0 in a previous season. In the latest match, the team dominated and Bale pointed out that Mbappe and Vinicius struggled to create any magic in the final third of the game.

Bale mentioned that the duo did not display the level of quality expected from Real Madrid players, and that they sometimes overcomplicate their plays. He suggested that they could benefit from having a target player to aim for when crossing the ball into the box.

Mbappe and Vinicius failed to register a shot on target during the match, which was largely ineffective. They faced Conor Bradley, a young full-back who is still learning under manager Arne Slot. The Real Madrid team will look to improve their performance when they face Rayo Vallecano at the Estadio de Vallecas this weekend.
