"Kelleher was bored." Robertson on the penalty in the Real Madrid match
Liverpool's victory over Real Madrid marked their fifth consecutive win in the UEFA Champions League, and even the defenders of the Merseyside team jokingly admit that they were getting a bit bored in defense.
Details: CBS Sport expert Jamie Carragher, speaking to Liverpool defender Andy Robertson, expressed his dissatisfaction with the penalty that resulted from a foul by the Scottish player. Robertson, however, clearly explained why the referee pointed to the penalty spot.
"Andy, I’m not happy with the penalty I saw here. When we watched the replays, it all seemed minimal."
"Yes, there wasn’t much contact, but I think I might have slightly clipped him with my foot. Kelleher was getting bored, so I gave him something to do, and fortunately, he took care of it."
Reminder: Liverpool became only the fifth club in UEFA Champions League history to win their first five group-stage matches while conceding just one goal.
