Real Madrid set unwanted record in Champions League defeat to Liverpool
Liverpool made light work of Real Madrid, winning 2-0 at Anfield and Carlo Ancelotti's men set an unwanted record in the process.
The former Man Utd captain shared his thoughts on TNT, saying:
"Liverpool have put 'the gauntlet down top' all the other teams in Europe. They are the in-form team."
He further emphasised Liverpool's dominance, stating:
"I said before the game, Arne Slot will have wanted to see what his team could produce against a team of this magnitude.
"If I was to put money on a team who looks most likely to win the Premier League and Champions League this season, I would say it is Liverpool."
Liverpool last won the competition under Jurgen Klopp in 2019 and will be keen to replicate that success this time around.
