Liverpool Ends the Curse Against Real Madrid



For years, Liverpool lived under the shadow of Real Madrid — a team that repeatedly knocked them out of the Champions League and left unforgettable scars on the club’s history. The Reds entered their latest clash in terrible form, carrying a string of painful defeats that shook their confidence and frustrated their fans. No one expected a miracle.

But sometimes football flips the script.

Liverpool stepped onto the pitch like a wounded team with nothing to lose. Real Madrid, confident and relaxed, seemed ready to repeat the same old story. Yet this time, Liverpool fought with fire. They pressed, they ran, and they defended with heart. In the second half, Alexis Mac Allister delivered the moment that changed everything — a powerful header that stunned the European giants.

It wasn’t just a goal.
It was a release.

The win didn’t simply give Liverpool three points — it ended a psychological curse that followed them for years. Against the strongest team in the world, the Reds found themselves again.

Premier League casualties pile up during week of Cup giant-killings

It may well be a cliche but the 'magic of the FA Cup' returned with a vengeance at the weekend as Premier League clubs far and wide found themselves dumped out of the competition by lower league opposition.

Millwall got things started on Friday night, adding to Aston Villa's woes by sending Paul Lambert's men packing with a 2-1 win at The Den.
Saturday saw yet more surprises with MK Dons thrashing QPR and non-league Luton upsetting Norwich at Carrow Road.

And Sunday saw yet more shocks with Leeds humbling Tottenham, Brentford holding European champions Chelsea and Liverpool booted out of the competition by Oldham.
