Just three rounds of 'league' play remain in this season's edition of the UEFA Champions League following the conclusion of Matchday 5 on Wednesday. Liverpool — the best team in all of Europe under new manager Arne Slot — and current trophy holder Real Madrid contested what was billed as the game of the first round at Anfield. The Reds took all three points and reclaimed their first-place status with a convincing 2-0 win to stay perfect through November.
In stark contrast the wide-open contest unfolding 100 miles away in Liverpool, this one was as cagey as they come. Even, too. The final stats show little difference between the two foes, so perhaps it's fitting that the tilt ended scoreless after 90 minutes. Still, Villa will feel it left two points on the table — or had them taken away, depending on one's point of view — after Morgan Rogers appeared to convert a stoppage-time winner. The would-be goal blew the roof off Villa Park.
