Rampant Reds maintain grip on Champions League top spot, as Madrid is left contemplating elimination

Liverpool is 100 percent on top of the Champions League after dumping title-holder Real Madrid into an almost unbelievable 24th place in the 36-team league table on Wednesday.

No one felt the embarrassment of Madrid's 2-0 loss at Anfield more than Kylian Mbappe, the superstar added in the offseason to the roster of the storied club, which was crowned European champion against Liverpool in both 2022 and 2018.

Mbappe had a penalty saved in the second half and was earlier dumped on his behind by Conor Bradley's superb tackle in what became an instant viral moment.
