Real Madrid demolished Liverpool last night at Anfield, showcasing the greatness of the club, and we've identified three key takeaways from this historic win:
1. Militao's Dominance
Some might remember Militao as a scorer in this game, but his physical and defensive display were as impressive as always, 5 recoveries, 3 interceptions, 2 clearances including that one right before Vinicius' equalizer, Liverpool fans witnessed the best defender in the world playing at Anfield and he was not Dutch.

2. Camavinga's Key Role
Camavinga has been putting in remarkable performances recently, and at Anfield, he proved he is a crucial player in this team. He won six ground duels and recovered the ball nine (!) times against a Liverpool side that is known for pressing high and forcing the opposition's players to make mistakes.
3. Vinzema Still Going Strong
Vinicius and Benzema shot five times last night and scored four (!). They also assisted each other once, and they are now Real Madrid's top scorers this season with 18 goals each. They will be the main reason for any success Real Madrid achieves this season.
