Liverpool beat City to win the Community Shield Manchester City won the English Premier League title at the very last minute in incredible drama last season. Throughout the season, Liverpool was close to City in the points table, but in the end, they had to stop as runners-up. However, Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool, who won the FA Cup last season, won the first trophy of English football in the 2022-23 season after beating the league champions City 3-1 in the FA Community Shield. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah, and Darwin Nunez, who made his competitive debut in Liverpool's jersey, scored three goals for Liverpool. City's only goal came from another debutant, Julian Alvarez. Alexander-Arnold's goal gave lead to Liverpool in the 21st minute. In the 70th minute, substitute Argentine forward Alvarez equalized for City. In the 83rd minute, Mohamed Salah scored a penalty goal and Liverpool went ahead again. The 23-year-old Nunez scored the third with a header in the fourth minute of added time. Egyptian star Salah contributed to all three goals for Liverpool. And that was enough to win Liverpool's Community Shield after 16 years. Liverpool took home the seasonal trophy for the 16th time. #studentJournalist #England #Football #Liverpool #CommunityShield #Champion #Salah #ManCity

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝗻 𝗱'𝗢𝗿 Real Madrid and Liverpool will face each other in this year's final of the Champions League in Paris. Everyone is anxiously waiting to know whom the city of love is going to crown. Everyone's goal as a team is to win the Champions League trophy. Three superstar players are entering the field with personal achievements as well - Sadio Mane, Mohammad Salah, and Karim Benzema. The winner of the Ballon d'Or will be the one who gets the most light in this final. Sadio Mane has scored 23 goals in 50 matches this season, he also assisted in 5 goals with his teammates. He has already won three titles for the club and national team. If Liverpool wins the final and he can do something great, then the fans will get momentum in the campaign for Ballon d'Or. Salah is ahead of his teammates in scoring or assisting goals this season, with 31 goals in 50 matches. He has assisted 16 goals with his teammates. But his national team performance is not up to the mark. On the national team, it is a place of all frustration for Salah. Salah's Egypt lost to Senegal in the Cup of Nations. He has suffered a bigger blow in the World Cup qualifiers. Egypt lost to Senegal here too. As a result, Salah is no longer playing in the Qatar World Cup. This failure reduced his chances of winning the Ballon d'Or. But there is talk of a Champions League final. How long to forget the previous failure if you can do something great in the final! Karim Benzema has scored 45 goals in 44 matches this season and assisted in 15 goals with his teammates. The fact that Real has secured the league with four matches in hand is because of Benzema. The story of Real's great comeback in three consecutive matches against Paris, Chelsea, and Manchester City in the Champions League has been written by Real because a Karim Benzema was in the team. In the top five leagues, Benzema is at the top contributing goals per minute. Benzema passed club legend Raul Gonzalez in the list of top scorers for Real this season. He can sit next to legend Alfredo Di Stefano if his side can win the Champions League final this time. But Lewandowski, who is in the role of tomorrow's spectator, also has a chance. Lewandowski, who lost to Coronavirus in 2020 and Messi in 2021, has scored 50 goals in 46 appearances this season. Has scored 1 goal every 60 minutes. He assisted in 6 goals with his teammates. A judge can choose Lewandowski only if someone sits down to vote after seeing the goal. #studentJournalist #Football #UCL #UCLfinal #Ballond'Or #Salah #Mane #Benzema #Lewandowski
