Champions League: Real Madrid rally again, Liverpool lose at Fenerbahçe

Champions League: Real Madrid rally again, Liverpool lose at Fenerbahçe Wow, what a start to the evening! Matchday four of the Champions League league phase concludes this Wednesday evening. The two 18:45 kick-offs featured two teams who had made perfect starts to their European campaigns, with three wins from three matches: Real Madrid and Liverpool, both contenders for the title. But after two utterly wild games, Madrid maintained their perfect record while the Reds suffered their first defeat of the season in the competition! Real Madrid snatch victory at the last second Real Madrid once again found a way to win in the dying moments. Just as they did in Rome. Away in Athens, José Mourinho's men snatched a dramatic 3-2 victory over AEK thanks to another stunner from Federico Valverde! After falling behind to the Greeks' opener, Madrid managed to draw level before being caught out again with a quarter of an hour remaining (2-1). But Kylian Mbappé brought the sides level in the 78th minute, before Federico Valverde came to his team's rescue in stoppage time, in the 92nd minute. A hard-fought win, Real Madrid style, gives Los Blancos a fourth victory in as many matches and keeps their perfect record intact. Liverpool fall into Fenerbahçe's trap The drama was just as breathtaking in Istanbul, but with a very different outcome for Liverpool. Up against Fenerbahçe, the Reds endured a difficult evening, losing 3-2. Yet the English side seemed to have done the hard part by taking a 2-1 lead with twenty minutes to go. But roared on by their fans, the Turkish side dug deep to turn the game on its head and score twice more. A real setback for Liverpool, who suffer their first Champions League defeat of the season.
