Earlier, the game was 0-0 at half-time Liverpool hit the post and were happy to catch the ball in the first 45 minutes.

While both teams started with caution, Sadio Mane came very close in the 21st minute with a short shot that Madrid goalkeeper Courtois had managed to reach the post. Liverpool continued their hotly contested game with Mohamed Salah testing the Spanish goalkeeper twice in a bid to take the lead.
