The name Vinicius Jr. will be remembered in Anfield for years to come. In less than 10 minutes, the Brazilian put the 2-2. First, with an excellent shot from the left that Allison couldn’t get to, and later by pressuring the Liverpool keeper. Allison tries to kick the ball out, but it hits the Madrid forward in the back. The ball rolled to the net while Allison looked in despair.
