Liverpool were going to play with the pedal to the metal.Real Madrid simply failed to get going at the start of the first half as the Reds pressed hard. They swarmed Real's players when they had the ball and targeted them when they tried to push the ball out wide.While Luka Modric was able to escape the press, Toni Kroos struggled in the initial stages. The German was unable to exert control and even misplaced a couple of crucial passes when Real could have threatened Liverpool.The press was working very well for Liverpool with their full-backs pushing forward to stretch the defence and provide them with extra bodies in attack. Trent Alexander-Arnold even had a shot on target that was snuffed out well by Keylor Navas.Salah was marked tightly by Real's defence and so he was trying to play provider for Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino who made themselves very busy in the final third.
