mcw casino online By Hannah Fry, Los Angeles Times (TNS) Every day millions of people share more intimate information with their accessories than they do with their spouse. Wearable technology — smartwatches, smart rings, fitness trackers and the like — monitors body-centric data such as your heart rate, steps taken and calories burned, and may record where you go along the way. Like Santa Claus, it knows when you are sleeping (and how well), it knows when you’re awake, it knows when you’ve been idle or exercising, and it keeps track of all of it. People are also sharing sensitive health information on health and wellness apps , including online mental health and counseling programs. Some women use period tracker apps to map out their monthly cycle. These devices and services have excited consumers hoping for better insight into their health and lifestyle choices. But the lack of oversight into how body-centric data are used and shared with third parties has prompted concerns from privacy experts, who warn that the data could be sold or lost through data breaches, then used to raise insurance premiums, discriminate surreptitiously against applicants for jobs or housing, and even perform surveillance. The use of wearable technology and medical apps surged in the years following the COVID-19 pandemic, but research released by Mozilla on Wednesday indicates that current laws offer little protection for consumers who are often unaware just how much of their health data are being collected and shared by companies. “I’ve been studying the intersections of emerging technologies, data-driven technologies, AI and human rights and social justice for the past 15 years, and since the pandemic I’ve noticed the industry has become hyper-focused on our bodies,” said Mozilla Foundation technology fellow Júlia Keserű, who conducted the research. “That permeates into all kinds of areas of our lives and all kinds of domains within the tech industry.” The report “From Skin to Screen: Bodily Integrity in the Digital Age” recommends that existing data protection laws be clarified to encompass all forms of bodily data. It also calls for expanding national health privacy laws to cover health-related information collected from health apps and fitness trackers and making it easier for users to opt out of body-centric data collections. Researchers have been raising alarms about health data privacy for years. Data collected by companies are often sold to data brokers or groups that buy, sell and trade data from the internet to create detailed consumer profiles. Body-centric data can include information such as the fingerprints used to unlock phones, face scans from facial recognition technology, and data from fitness and fertility trackers, mental health apps and digital medical records. One of the key reasons health information has value to companies — even when the person’s name is not associated with it — is that advertisers can use the data to send targeted ads to groups of people based on certain details they share. The information contained in these consumer profiles is becoming so detailed, however, that when paired with other data sets that include location information, it could be possible to target specific individuals, Keserű said. Location data can “expose sophisticated insights about people’s health status, through their visits to places like hospitals or abortions clinics,” Mozilla’s report said, adding that “companies like Google have been reported to keep such data even after promising to delete it.” A 2023 report by Duke University revealed that data brokers were selling sensitive data on individuals’ mental health conditions on the open market. While many brokers deleted personal identifiers, some provided names and addresses of individuals seeking mental health assistance, according to the report. In two public surveys conducted as part of the research, Keserű said, participants were outraged and felt exploited in scenarios where their health data were sold for a profit without their knowledge. “We need a new approach to our digital interactions that recognizes the fundamental rights of individuals to safeguard their bodily data, an issue that speaks directly to human autonomy and dignity,” Keserű said. “As technology continues to advance, it is critical that our laws and practices evolve to meet the unique challenges of this era.” Consumers often take part in these technologies without fully understanding the implications. Last month, Elon Musk suggested on X that users submit X-rays, PET scans, MRIs and other medical images to Grok, the platform’s artificial intelligence chatbot, to seek diagnoses. The issue alarmed privacy experts, but many X users heeded Musk’s call and submitted health information to the chatbot. While X’s privacy policy says that the company will not sell user data to third parties, it does share some information with certain business partners. Gaps in existing laws have allowed the widespread sharing of biometric and other body-related data. Health information provided to hospitals, doctor’s offices and medical insurance companies is protected from disclosure under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act , known as HIPAA, which established federal standards protecting such information from release without the patient’s consent. But health data collected by many wearable devices and health and wellness apps don’t fall under HIPAA’s umbrella, said Suzanne Bernstein, counsel at Electronic Privacy Information Center. “In the U.S. because we don’t have a comprehensive federal privacy law ... it falls to the state level,” she said. But not every state has weighed in on the issue. Washington, Nevada and Connecticut all recently passed laws to provide safeguards for consumer health data. Washington, D.C., in July introduced legislation that aimed to require tech companies to adhere to strengthened privacy provisions regarding the collection, sharing, use or sale of consumer health data. In California, the California Privacy Rights Act regulates how businesses can use certain types of sensitive information, including biometric information, and requires them to offer consumers the ability to opt out of disclosure of sensitive personal information. “This information being sold or shared with data brokers and other entities hypercharge the online profiling that we’re so used to at this point, and the more sensitive the data, the more sophisticated the profiling can be,” Bernstein said. “A lot of the sharing or selling with third parties is outside the scope of what a consumer would reasonably expect.” Health information has become a prime target for hackers seeking to extort healthcare agencies and individuals after accessing sensitive patient data. Health-related cybersecurity breaches and ransom attacks increased more than 4,000% between 2009 and 2023, targeting the booming market of body-centric data, which is expected to exceed $500 billion by 2030, according to the report. “Nonconsensual data sharing is a big issue,” Keserű said. “Even if it’s biometric data or health data, a lot of the companies are just sharing that data without you knowing, and that is causing a lot of anxiety and questions.” ©2024 Los Angeles Times.

Ravens' running game was crucial in a big win over the Chargers, especially on 4th down

Ravens' running game was crucial in a big win over the Chargers, especially on 4th down

DETROIT (AP) — If Donald Trump makes good on his threat to slap 25% tariffs on everything imported from Mexico and Canada, the price increases that could follow will collide with his campaign promise to give American families a break from inflation. Economists say companies would have little choice but to pass along the added costs, dramatically raising prices for food, clothing, automobiles, booze and other goods. The president-elect floated the tariff idea, including additional 10% taxes on goods from China, as a way to force the countries to halt the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs into the U.S. But his posts Monday on Truth Social threatening the tariffs on his first day in office could just be a negotiating ploy to get the countries to change behavior. High food prices were a major issue in voters picking Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris, but tariffs almost certainly would push those costs up even further. For instance, the Produce Distributors Association, a Washington trade group, said Tuesday that tariffs will raise prices for fresh fruit and vegetables and hurt U.S. farmers when other countries retaliate. “Tariffs distort the marketplace and will raise prices along the supply chain, resulting in the consumer paying more at the checkout line,” said Alan Siger, association president. Mexico and Canada are two of the biggest exporters of fresh fruit and vegetables to the U.S. In 2022, Mexico supplied 51% of fresh fruit and 69% of fresh vegetables imported by value into the U.S., while Canada supplied 2% of fresh fruit and 20% of fresh vegetables. Before the election, about 7 in 10 voters said they were very concerned about the cost of food, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 120,000 voters. “We’ll get them down,” Trump told shoppers during a September visit to a Pennsylvania grocery store. The U.S. is the largest importer of goods in the world, with Mexico, China and Canada its top three suppliers, according to the most recent U.S. Census data. People looking to buy a new vehicle likely would see big price increases as well, at a time when costs have gone up so much they are out of reach for many. The average price of a new vehicle now runs around $48,000. About 15% of the 15.6 million new vehicles sold in the U.S. last year came from Mexico, while 8% crossed the border from Canada, according to Global Data. Much of the tariffs would get passed along to consumers, unless automakers can somehow quickly find productivity improvements to offset them, said C.J. Finn, U.S. automotive sector leader for PwC. That means even more consumers “would potentially get priced out,” Finn said. Hardest hit would be Volkswagen, Stellantis, General Motors and Ford, Bernstein analyst Daniel Roeska wrote Tuesday in a note to investors. “A 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada would severely cripple the U.S. auto industry,” he said. The tariffs would hurt U.S. industrial production so much that “we expect this is unlikely to happen in practice,” Roeska said. The tariff threat hit auto stocks on Tuesday, particularly shares of GM, which imports about 30% of the vehicles it sells in the U.S. from Canada and Mexico, and Stellantis, which imports about 40% from the two countries. For both, about 55% of their lucrative pickup trucks come from Mexico and Canada. GM stock lost almost 9% of its value, while Stellantis dropped nearly 6%. It’s not clear how long the tariffs would last if implemented, but they could force auto executives to move production to the U.S., which could create more jobs in the long run. However, Morningstar analyst David Whiston said automakers probably won’t make any immediate moves because they can’t quickly change where they build vehicles. Millions of dollars worth of auto parts flow across the borders with Mexico and Canada, and that could raise prices for already costly automobile repairs, Finn said. The Distilled Spirits Council of the U.S. said tariffs on tequila or Canadian whisky won’t boost American jobs because they are distinctive products that can only be made in their country of origin. In 2023, the U.S. imported $4.6 billion worth of tequila and $108 million worth of mezcal from Mexico and $537 million worth of spirits from Canada, it said. “Tariffs on spirits products from our neighbors to the north and south are going to hurt U.S. consumers and lead to job losses across the U.S. hospitality industry,” it added. Electronics retailer Best Buy said on its third-quarter earnings conference call that it runs on thin profit margins, so while vendors and the company will shoulder some increases, Best Buy will have to pass tariffs to customers. “These are goods that people need, and higher prices are not helpful,” CEO Corie Barry said. Walmart also warned this week that tariffs could force it to raise prices. Tariffs could trigger supply chain disruptions as people buy goods before they are imposed and companies seek alternate sources of parts, said Rob Handfield, a professor of supply chain management at North Carolina State University. Some businesses might not be able to pass on the costs. “It could actually shut down a lot of industries in the United States. It could actually put a lot of U.S. businesses out of business,” he said. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who talked with Trump after his call for tariffs, said they had a good conversation about working together. “This is a relationship that we know takes a certain amount of working on and that’s what we’ll do,” Trudeau said. Trump’s threats come as arrests for illegally crossing the border from Mexico have been falling. But arrests for illegally crossing the border from Canada have been rising over the past two years. Much of America’s fentanyl is smuggled from Mexico, and seizures have increased. Trump has sound legal justification to impose tariffs, even though they conflict with a 2020 trade deal brokered in large part by Trump with Canada and Mexico, said William Reinsch, senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and a former Clinton administration trade official. The treaty, known as the USMCA, is up for review in 2026. In China’s case, he could simply declare Beijing hasn’t met obligations under an agreement he negotiated in his first term. For Canada and Mexico, he could say the influx of migrants and drugs are a national security threat, and turn to a section of trade law he used in his first term to slap tariffs on steel and aluminum. The law he would most likely use for Canada and Mexico has a legal process that often takes up to nine months, giving Trump time to seek a deal. If talks failed and the duties were imposed, all three countries would likely retaliate with tariffs on U.S. exports, said Reinsch, who believes Trump’s tariffs threat is a negotiating ploy. U.S. companies would lobby intensively against tariffs, and would seek to have products exempted. Some of the biggest exporters from Mexico are U.S. firms that make parts there, Reinsch said. Longer term, Mary Lovely, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said the threat of tariffs could make the U.S. an “unstable partner” in international trade. “It is an incentive to move activity outside the United States to avoid all this uncertainty,” she said. Trump transition team officials did not immediately respond to questions about what he would need to see to prevent the tariffs from being implemented and how they would impact prices in the U.S. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum suggested Tuesday that Mexico could retaliate with tariffs of its own. Sheinbaum said she was willing to talk about the issues, but said drugs were a U.S. problem. The leader of Canada’s most populous province called Trump’s comparison of Canada to Mexico “the most insulting thing I’ve ever heard. “To compare us to Mexico is the most insulting thing I’ve ever heard from our friends and closest allies, the United States of America,” Ontario Premier Doug Ford said. “I found his comments unfair. I found them insulting. It’s like a family member stabbing you right in the heart.” Ford said Canada will have no choice but to retaliate.

I'm going to watch Thanksgiving Day sports on TV all day long – join me, here's my ultimate 24-hour streaming scheduleEntergy Corp officer Jason Chapman sells $1.09m in stockIt is only late November, no trophies are handed out at this time of year, or so the old adage goes, but there is little doubt that Liverpool are the best team in Europe right now. Their hope will be to maintain that status come the final in Munich on May 31 and, maybe, this could be another dress rehearsal for that occasion. It is not as if these two grand clubs have not acquainted each other at that stage of the competition in the past – even if Real Madrid will have to rally from this, a third defeat in five ties in this competition. In the newly formatted group stage, with all 36 teams lumped together, Liverpool deservedly sit on the summit having defeated the European champions in what felt like yet another special Anfield night. “Liverpool, Liverpool top of the league,” chanted their fans. Such is their dominance that applies to Europe as well as the Premier League. Liverpool’s record in all competitions reads played 19, won 17, drawn one and lost one, and that is truly remarkable. And formidable. Both sides missed penalties but Liverpool deserved the points on an evening when Jude Bellingham and, even more so, Kylian Mbappe failed to impose themselves. The only setback was a possible injury to the thrilling youngster Conor Bradley. Caoimhin Kelleher denies Kylian Mbappé from the spot! 😳 📺 & — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) Anfield expected. Mbappe’s first run? The self-confessed Liverpool fan – well, they are his favourite Premier League team at least – was raucously booed. And booed even more, with a few cheers, when stole the ball away from him and released Darwin Nunez. Suddenly there was a chance with Thibaut Courtois doing well to get down low and divert the shot – although it struck Raul Asencio who had sprinted back. The ball trickled goalwards and was cleared off the line, when it was partly over the line, by the relieved defender. Asencio was then involved in a clash with Nunez off the ball. Both were deservedly booked. With that the temperature rose even higher. Ryan Gravenberch went over and play continued. Mbappe went on a dribble and also went down. A free-kick was given – provoking more Anfield outrage – with Antonio Rudiger running to tell captain Luka Modric to protest to the referee. Modric shrugged him off. Such behaviour is not the 39-year-old’s style and Gravenberch was booked anyway. It was Liverpool who threatened again as Curtis Jones forced his way through. The ball broke to Nunez who stabbed it – only for Courtois to again save Madrid. As he, of course, did in the Champions League final between these two clubs in Paris two years ago. Vinicius Junior scored the winning goal in that game but injury meant he was another absentee for Madrid along with Rodrygo. Still, that allowed Mbappe to move out to his preferred position on the left and there was certainly more threat from him there. It was a test for Bradley and the Northern Ireland international did brilliantly to run back 40 yards, slide in . Mbappe clapped his hands in frustration. The Kop roared its approval. A header from Nunez just skimmed past a post; another from Luis Diaz was punched away by Courtois and it continued to bounce from end to end. Liverpool carried the greater threat but it was wonderfully open and committed. It also felt like a tightrope was being walked. Gravenberch fouled Eduardo Camavinga and the Madrid bench were up, demanding another yellow which would have let to a red for the midfielder. Modric brought down Alexis Mac Allister and Virgil van Dijk ran to the referee also calling for a caution. He was ignored and half-time came – and with it an opportunity to draw breath. Liverpool were out early and pressed on. Even Modric was being hassled so much that he gave the ball away. Salah demanded a penalty, rightly turned down, Courtois saved a close-range Bradley header and finally the breakthrough was made and the 21-year-old right-back, inevitably, was involved. The ball was worked across the face of the Madrid penalty area by Jones with Mac Allister playing a smart one-two with Bradley. The midfielder shot low back across Courtois and this time the goalkeeper was beaten. Take a bow, Alexis Mac Allister! 👏 Anfield erupts with noise as Liverpool take the lead 🔊 📺 & — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) Real were reeling and lost another player, Camavinga, to injury. Could they respond? There was a rash challenge from Andy Robertson, a gift, catching substitute Lucas Vasquez, and the penalty was given. Goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher read Mbappe’s intentions, diving to his left to turn away the spot-kick and Anfield lapped it up. They lapped it up even more when Liverpool earned their own penalty. Salah ran at Ferland Mendy and the full-back brought him down – only for, astonishingly, the forward to drive his penalty wide. As he struck the ball there were cheers of anticipation followed by disbelief as it clipped the post. However, Cody Gakpo made sure of the victory. A corner was played short, the ball was returned to Robertson who crossed with the substitute rising unopposed to plant his header. Courtois stood and shook his head. As well he might. Madrid are the comeback kings. But not this time. Not against this Liverpool. 10:34 PM GMT Curtis Jones influential once again Curtis Jones (93.1%) had the best passing accuracy of any midfielder or forward to start the Liverpool vs Real Madrid game. A lovely symmetry to his pass viz, too. | — Opta Analyst (@OptaAnalyst) 10:30 PM GMT Slot’s family are in Liverpool this week They took a few days off school to be here. They will here for Man City but it will not influence the game! Though sometimes my father gives me good advice. To have family around, it is always a good thing, because you don’t have to be focused for 24 hours... 18 hours maybe! 10:27 PM GMT Jude Bellingham’s post-match thoughts I think to be fair, from the first minute they took control of the game. We never took advantage of our spells in the game, we tried to force it and turned the ball over too many times. I thought they were more up for it, which was disappointing. It’s a bad result against probably the best-performing team in Europe. There is no disgrace in losing here but we are not happy with it. The penalty is a big moment in the game, but he’s wonderful player and the pressure he holds his huge. The penalty is not the reason he lost the game, they were better than us. Kylian can hold his head high, he is going to produce many moments that are huge for this club. 10:20 PM GMT Arne Slot’s post-match thoughts I wouldn’t say its the same as any other win because you know how special it is to beat this team, who have dominated Europe in recent years and been a pain in the arse for Liverpool as well! We say it is a big week, but we have a big week next week too. When you start at a new club, you want to implement your playing style as quickly as possible, which is not so different from Jurgen, especially without the ball. With the ball, we have changed some details but not too many. I felt we were too impatient in the first half, every time they threatened us was from us forcing it or being sloppy. I said at half-time that there is more in us, that we can play with more intensity and use the ball better. 10:16 PM GMT The moment that lit the fuse for Liverpool Conor Bradley’s challenge on Kylian Mbappe caused Anfield to erupt, and from there Liverpool started to turn the screw. Liverpool fans will be hoping his hamstring problem was just linked to fatigue. Jeremy Wilson breaks down . 10:13 PM GMT Kelleher on the City game I think confidence is high in the whole squad. Man City, we know they have had a tough few results but what a team. We expect a really tough test but this is good confidence for the team and we will go again. 10:01 PM GMT What to make of Real Madrid? They have now lost three matches from five in the Champions League and are staring at a play-off round and two additional matches. Real are testament to the idea that ‘squad depth’ is an overrated concept; no team can sustain their highest level of performance while missing half a dozen or more important players. They are threadbare at the back right now, and whether the fault lies with club or player, they are nowhere near to seeing the best of Kylian Mbappe. 09:55 PM GMT FT: Liverpool 2 Real Madrid 0 Arne Slot’s Liverpool march on, clear at the top of the Premier League and the only team in the Champions League with a perfect record. Their first win over Real Madrid since 2009. It is not mathematically confirmed. but with 15 points on the board and RB Leipzig, AC Milan, Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid ticked off, Liverpool are surely assured of a top-eight finish. A well deserved victory. They were by far the more threatening attacking force, and in spells looked like they could create danger at will. Not much cause for encouragement if you are a watching Man City fan. The one worry for Liverpool is that Konate is down and receiving treatment at full time. 09:52 PM GMT 93 minutes: Liverpool 2 Real Madrid 0 Kelleher with another save, this time to deny Diaz from a tight angle. Could he have cut the ball back for Mbappe? 09:50 PM GMT 92 minutes: Liverpool 2 Real Madrid 0 Vazquez with a shot from 25 yards, comfortably saved by Kelleher. That is Real’s only shot on target from open play. 09:50 PM GMT 90 minutes: Liverpool 2 Real Madrid 0 There are four minutes of added time to play, and Liverpool almost had a third. Luis Diaz, who has been quietly very good, goes from the dink beyond Courtois but the goalkeeper stayed up to save. 09:46 PM GMT 89 minutes: Liverpool 2 Real Madrid 0 Fran Garcia with some sharp play, and Mbappe cuts inside and sees a shot deflect of Mac Allister’s heel and not too far wide of the post. Corner cleared, before Bellingham is flagged offside in the second phase. 09:44 PM GMT 87 minutes: Liverpool 2 Real Madrid 0 This is very unfortunate for Conor Bradley who has been outstanding: he has pulled up and looks to be mouthing hamstring to the physios. He is back on his feet now, and making his way off the pitch unaided. Joe Gomez is going to replace him. When they said Real Madrid wanted LFC's right back, which one did they mean? 😀😀😀😀 — Chris Bascombe (@_ChrisBascombe) What a performance 🔥🏃🏻‍♂️ ⚽️ 🏆 — Jamie Carragher (@Carra23) 09:43 PM GMT 85 minutes: Liverpool 2 Real Madrid 0 Some of Liverpool’s one-touch play and direct attacking has been so impressive tonight, slicing through Real and galloping forward at a frightening lick. Liverpool are going to be only team of 36 on maximum points after five Champions League games. 09:41 PM GMT 83 minutes: Liverpool 2 Real Madrid 0 Szoboszlai has replaced Curtis Jones. That change might be about saving Jones’ legs for Sunday’s game against Manchester City. The Anfield crowd are singing Arne Slot’s song now. 09:38 PM GMT 81 minutes: Liverpool 2 Real Madrid 0 Bradley on the front foot yet again, winning a loose ball and drawing a foul from Fran Garcia. Ceballos is booked for complaining about the decision. This is turning into a statement performance by Liverpool, Slot on the verge of venturing where Klopp could not go by beating Real Madrid. 09:37 PM GMT 79 minutes: Liverpool 2 Real Madrid 0 We are going to see the 18-year-old Brazilian forward Endrick. He replaces Luka Modric, who receives warm applause from the Anfield crowd. 09:35 PM GMT GOOOAALL! Gakpo doubles Liverpool’s lead A short corner from Liverpool, and Robertson’s inswinging cross finds the head of Gakpo to plant a header beyond Courtois. Great leap from the Dutchman, but VAR will be checking this for offside because he was moving back...goal given! Liverpool DOUBLE their lead! Cody Gakpo comes off the bench to score a towering header 💥 📺 & — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) 09:34 PM GMT 76 minutes: Liverpool 1 Real Madrid 0 Luis Diaz is playing in a central position now, with Gakpo wide left. Fran Garcia has replaced Mendy, and straight away the substitute is required to make a back-post header with Salah lurking. 09:32 PM GMT 73 minutes: Liverpool 1 Real Madrid 0 Real have shown more as an attacking force since going behind, but once again Liverpool defend stoutly up against Mbappe. Slot’s team are still finding lots of space on the counter. The danger for Liverpool is when they fail to finish those moves and Real get the chance to counter the counter. 09:29 PM GMT SALAH MISSES! As he has done on more than one occasion in his Liverpool career, Salah has slashed a penalty wide when going for power. Sliced it with the outside of his foot and his penalty clipped the post. Real Madrid still alive. Salah and Mbappe have both missed penalty. Liverpool have the chance to extend their lead but Mo Salah misses the penalty ❌ 📺 & — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) 09:28 PM GMT LIVERPOOL PENALTY! Salah has done Mendy all ends up here, after a brilliant outside of the foot pass from Diaz to set him away on the break. Mendy was preoccupied with trying to stop Salah cutting inside and ended up in a contorted position. Salah chopped beyond him and was tripped. Certain penalty. 09:26 PM GMT 68 minutes: Liverpool 1 Real Madrid 0 Kelleher with another save, but Brahim Diaz was offside in any case after Mbappe’s pass through. 09:24 PM GMT 66 minutes: Liverpool 1 Real Madrid 0 Bellingham fouls Mac Allister with a pretty desperate challenge. Gakpo is getting ready to replace Nunez. Liverpool win the ball back with some manic pressing, Mendy’s heavy touch giving Bradley the chance to pounce. 09:23 PM GMT 65 minutes: Liverpool 1 Real Madrid 0 After tonight’s performance by Bradley and Kelleher, the next big contract rewards at Anfield should go to Liverpool’s Irish scouts! 09:22 PM GMT 64 minutes: Liverpool 1 Real Madrid 0 Liverpool now defending in numbers to hold up Diaz in the box. In the moments leading up to the penalty, Salah tried to set Nunez away but his pass was intercepted. Slot might want his team to slow down and keep the ball a little more. The only way Real can find a way back into this is if it becomes a see-saw game. 09:20 PM GMT KELLEHER SAVES FROM MBAPPE! First Connor Bradley and now Kelleher have won the battle of wits with Mbappe. The forward went with the inside of his right foot, but there was not enough power to beat Kelleher who saved plunging down to his left. What a moment for surely the best back-up goalkeeper around. Caoimhin Kelleher denies Kylian Mbappé from the spot! 😳 📺 & — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) 09:19 PM GMT PENALTY REAL! The first piece of football Real have strung together since half-time. Mbappe got the better of Bradley on the outside, his low cross was cleared. Ceballos spread play to Vazquez with Modric dummying, and Robertson is penalised for tripping Vazquez with a trailing leg. Soft, but little chance it was getting overturned. 09:15 PM GMT 57 minutes: Liverpool 1 Real Madrid 0 A double sub from Real: Ceballos and Vazquez on, Guler and Camavinga on. Vazquez has gone to right-back with Valverde in midfield. Real are now even more depleted than when the game kicked off. 09:13 PM GMT Another second-half goal from Liverpool They used to say kicking towards the Kop was worth a goal for Liverpool. Slot is maintaining the tradition this season. It was coming from the start of the second half. 09:13 PM GMT 54 minutes: Liverpool 1 Real Madrid 0 Liverpool rampant now, with Curtis Jones surging through midfield and playing a one-two with Diaz. He tees up Mac Allister at the edge of the box but he shoots wide. It goes from bad to worse for Real: Camavinga has pulled a hamstring chasing Jones. Dani Ceballos is about to replace him. 09:11 PM GMT GOOOOAAALL! Mac Allister gives Liverpool the lead They have been knocking on the door since the restart and it has finally opened. Nice interplay around the edge of the Real box, with Mac Allister exchanging a give and go with Bradley. The right back’s lay off was well weighted, and Mac Allister’s finish back through legs wrong-footed Courtois and found the bottom corner. Take a bow, Alexis Mac Allister! 👏 Anfield erupts with noise as Liverpool take the lead 🔊 📺 & — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) 09:09 PM GMT 51 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 Very bright football from Liverpool, and Conor Bradley almost pops up with the opening goal! Mac Allister with a lofted ball into the box to find the right-back’s run from deep, but Bradley’s header was too close to Courtois. 09:08 PM GMT 49 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 Liverpool remain on the front foot. Modric’s loose pass from his own box is straight to Gravenberch. Salah goes down looking for a penalty under challenge from Mendy, but nothing doing. That was more of a Kop appeal than anything else. Liverpool then box Camavinga in before Rudiger almost gifts Jones a present with a poor pass inside his own box, but Guler recovered to get a toe to the ball. 09:06 PM GMT 47 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 Liverpool looking dangerous within the first minute of the half, but Jones could not get the ball out of his feet to shot. They the home team win a corner through Bradley. Van Dijk and Konate are up. Cleared, but only to Jones at the edge of the box. Clean strike after a nice first touch, Jones’ shot deflects behind for a corner. Courtois claims. 09:03 PM GMT We’re back under way in the second half Liverpool get the second 45 minutes starting, shooting towards the Kop. Applause from behind the goal from Thibaut Courtois. 08:53 PM GMT The Real Madrid conundrum Madrid are an extraordinary side in that they can look very ordinary, but then you know they are just awaiting the moment to strike. Kelleher is yet to make a save, but rather than weather a storm, the Madrid defence has to deal with a couple of light showers. There has been a lot of quality without the anticipated explosion, Bradley’s tackle on Mbappe bringing the loudest roar and preceding the first prolonged spell of pressure on Madrid’s defence. Slot will be warning his booked players to take care in the second half, however. 08:48 PM GMT HT: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 In the final moments of the half, there was more sound defending from Bradley against Mbappe, who looks a shadow of his best self. Camavinga started the attack with more sterling work in midfield. This has been an intense, high-level 45 minutes, but Liverpool have had the better chances by quite some margin. Two eye-catching saves from Courtois plus that early goal-line clearance from Asensio. Bradley and Nunez have been very good for Liverpool, as have the centre-backs. Camavinga the pick of the bunch for Real. Bradley’s tackle on Mbappe probably the highlight of the half: One of the best tackles you'll see from Conor Bradley on Kylian Mbappé ⛔ — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) 08:45 PM GMT 44 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 Mbappe pinched the ball off Bradley but Van Dijk did ever so well later in the attack to stand up and win the ball cleanly against the French forward. Camavinga is winning so many challenges in the middle of the pitch, feels like he is taking Liverpool on alone in there. 08:44 PM GMT 42 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 Helped by the crowd’s anger with some refereeing decisions, the game has gone a little haywire which is entertaining but I doubt either manager will be pleased by the frantic nature of it. Liverpool clear a Real corner, and Nunez does really well to carry the ball forward before spreading play right. Real recover to slow down Jones. 08:41 PM GMT 40 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 Bellingham involved in some neat Real football through midfield, Guler is tripped by Mac Allister who is booked. The Liverpool midfielder will now miss the game in Girona with a suspension. Then Bellingham let the ball run after he was pressed in his own half, and Real suddenly had a five-on-three, but Modric could not pick a pass from a wide left position and then he fouls Konate. 08:38 PM GMT 38 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 Liverpool have the bit between their teeth at the moment, they are bossing almost all of the duels, Real are struggling to make the ball stick up front. Jones clips a shot over the bar, before Rudiger positions himself well to clear Robertson’s cross. Great tempo to the game, but still no breakthrough goal. 08:34 PM GMT 34 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 Liverpool go close with a couple of headed efforts. The first, from Nunez, had Courtois is more trouble, a glancing header that the goalkeeper had to tip around the post. Then Courtois punches clear a Diaz header back across goal. Anfield is up now, this is a dangerous spell for the Spanish side. 08:33 PM GMT 32 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 The loudest cheer of the night so far at Anfield is for Conor Bradley, who has just nailed Mbappe and won the ball cleanly with an outstanding defensive challenge. Real broke after that Liverpool free-kick and Mbappe was travelling at full speed beyond Mac Allister, but Bradley ate up the ground and hooked the ball clear with a forceful but very fair sliding challenge. If Liverpool win this game, that Conor Bradley on Kylian Mbappe tackle will live long in the memory. 08:31 PM GMT 30 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 Mendy is penalised for holding Salah. Liverpool free-kick in a crossing position wide right. It looked a little soft but Liverpool will not care. Rudiger and Van Dijk chirping away at each other in the box. Clipped in by Mac Allister, Courtois punches clear. 08:29 PM GMT 28 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 A couple of lovely moments from Camavinga in midfield for Real Madrid, first an incisive carry and then a diagonal pass out to Mbappe. Bellingham then wins a corner, Mordric to take. Konate glances a header away before Guler slices a show wide from distance. 08:26 PM GMT 26 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 Real Madrid showing their Champions League strut by playing out of their own box at Anfield. Courtois with a chipped pass and then Bellingham protects the ball well to win a foul. They are yet to really test Kelleher, though. Slot will be happy enough with what he has seen, but no goal. 08:24 PM GMT 24 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 Liverpool’s second big chance of the night but Courtois smothers! A bit of pinball in the box, but Curtis Jones barrels his way beyond Asensio and the ball fell for Nunez to hit on the volley six or seven yards out. The goalkeeper stood his ground and made a vital block. Liverpool’s game on chances so far. 08:22 PM GMT 22 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 Liverpool finding it harder to feed Gravenberch on the turn now, so more of their possession is in front of the Real Madrid defensive block. Nunez tracking back into his own half is commendable, but his defending is clumsy and he concedes a free-kick in a dangerous position. Dragged down Camavinga, 25 yards out right of centre. Guler takes and shoots...well over the bar. Nunez obviously needs to be careful. His duel with Raul Asencio has been a feature of the game, but the early booking should be the signal to stop diving into challenges. The referee is card happy. 08:20 PM GMT 19 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 Real Madrid looked to have a four-against-two down their right momentarily, but Valverde’s dinked cross to the back post was too heavy. Excellent defending on the cover from Real’s young defender Asensio, up against the menacing and much faster Nunez. Then Real enjoy some considered possession in the middle of the pitch to the sound of some whistles. 08:18 PM GMT 17 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 The Anfield crowd are furious. They believe they should have had a free-kick around 25 yards from goal, nothing given, and from the subsequent break, Gravenberch is penalised and booked when Mbapped appeared to have merely ran into him. Speaking of the crowd, there have been some boos for Bellingham early on. He was linked with a move to Liverpool from Dortmund. Pantomime stuff really. Loudest Kop jeers so far reserved for Bellingham and Mbappe - two players who were of interest to Liverpool, of course. 08:16 PM GMT 15 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 I once watched Brahim Diaz play for Man City’s Under-18s in a Youth Cup tie at the Emirates, and thought they had found a faster David Silva. Didn’t quite work out for him at City, but he is doing alright for himself now. Real win their first corner but Robertson heads clear. Modric has pinged a couple of switches so far, but Liverpool looking fairly comfortable defensively. 08:13 PM GMT 13 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 Some grappling in the penalty area between Asensio and Nunez, and the Liverpool forward flops to the turf holding his face. There was no hint of a punch, slap or a headbutt there, Nunez was trying to pull a fast one, but both players have been shown a yellow card. Real make a meal of clearing the near-post corner, but they do eventually. 08:11 PM GMT 10 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 Luis Diaz drags a shot wide of the near post when he had time to steady himself and make a better decision. Konate with a telling defensive header to prevent a chipped through ball finding Mbappe. It looks like Real have tweaked their defensive shape to more of a 4-4-2 now with Diaz right and Bellingham on the left. Liverpool have a corner after Mendy challenges Salah. 08:09 PM GMT 8 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 Very open start to this game. Valverde with an interception on the stretch to prevent Diaz getting in down the left. Then Real pinch the ball high after a slack moment from Van Dijk but Guler runs down a blind alley. The Liverpool play out nicely and release Jones. Too much space in Real’s midfield at the moment, Liverpool not encountering much resistance when they have the ball. 08:06 PM GMT 4 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 Asensio clears one off the line for Real Madrid to spare himself an own goal! It all started from Salah robbing Mbappe of possession inside the Liverpool half, and from there the home team sprung the counter-attack through a Nunez burst. Nice pass slipped through from Salah for Nunez to strike from a tight angle. Saved by Courtois, the rebound bounced off Asensio, but he scrambled back to clear off the line. 08:03 PM GMT 2 minutes: Liverpool 0 Real Madrid 0 It is something of a challenge trying to decipher Real Madrid’s shape. It looks like Arda Guler is operating as a false nine in between Diaz and Mbappe. Bellingham, Modric and Camavinga in midfield, with Valverde at right-back in a back four. Asensio and Rudiger the centre-halves with Mendy at left-back. Both teams moving the ball through the thirds quite smoothly in the first few minutes, this is shaping up to be a good watch. 08:00 PM GMT KICK OFF! Real Madrid get the game started, shooting towards the Kop in the first half. 07:56 PM GMT The players are in the tunnel The atmosphere sounds like it is building nicely at Anfield, even if this new Champions League format does take some of the edge away from the occasion. Real without Rodrygo, Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal, Lucas Vazquez, Aurelien Tchouameni and David Alaba. Liverpool will be attacking a makeshift back four. Luka Modric starts in midfield aged 39. 07:45 PM GMT Slot’s pre-match thoughts If we want to win against Real Madrid, we have to do many, many things well for the whole game. When your concentration slips a bit, they have the ability to do you harm. We have to be on top of your game for every second I always pick the strongest team for the next game, but that does not always mean the best XI players because I have many good players. If we play twice in three days and some players didn’t start, it can be that reason or it can be because of the type of player for what we will face. He [Salah] has been in the media since he played for Liverpool especially so he is used to it. If he doesn’t play a good game tonight it’s because of Real Madrid but I expect him to be the same Mo Salah he has been for many years for this club. 07:38 PM GMT What a night for Conor Bradley Mbappe has been used as a central striker by Real, but he moves left tonight in the absence of Vinicius Junior, pitting him against Conor Bradley. The young Liverpool full-back had a good run in the team last season, but he is best moments came when storming forward, such as his goal against Chelsea. A duel with Mbappe is surely the most stringent defensive test of his career so far. 07:32 PM GMT Real Madrid’s escapology act Speaking to Michael Owen before the game, one of the observations that did not make the cut in our is how Real Madrid have been Liverpool’s Kryptonite since the last win under Rafa Benitez 15 year ago. “A lot of teams will say that, though,” said Owen. “They have been dominant without being this incredible, ground-breaking side like other European champions of the past. I thought Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool were better teams in games in which they were beaten by Real. “But Real have the ability to squirm past sides - they have the know-how. Liverpool and Manchester City must be sick of them. Now Real look better on paper but they won’t fancy playing Liverpool.” 07:31 PM GMT Courtois and Salah meet again tonight 07:21 PM GMT Curtis Jones looks Arne Slot’s man right now When everyone is fit, it’s Curtis Jones vs Dominik Szoboszlai for the third midfield spot. Arne Slot’s faith in the Liverpool-born man is showing again as he gets the vote. Given Szoboszlai is considered in his homeland to be the next Ferenc Puskas - Hungary’s Real Madrid legend, of course - he might be simmering on the bench. He should be motivated to prove the manager wrong when he is likely to come on during the later stages. 07:11 PM GMT Gareth Bale reminded of his poor Anfield record “Yeah, but I won the ones when it mattered,” Bale replies, in reference to the 2018 and 2022 finals. Bale scored one of the competition’s greatest final goals in Kiev. 07:04 PM GMT It looks Curtis Jones’ midfield shirt to lose Dominik Szoboszlai has been full of running since he joined Liverpool in summer 2023, but his decision-making and execution has been very inconsistent. It looks like Curtis Jones has moved ahead of him to be Liverpool’s third midfielder alongside Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister. As Slot said in his pre-match press conference, Alexander-Arnold is on the bench and is not expected to play many minutes tonight. Will he be thrown back in against City? 07:02 PM GMT Liverpool’s team coach arriving Evening, Reds 👋 — Liverpool FC (@LFC) 06:59 PM GMT Ancelotti on the challenge facing Real this evening It will be a very entertaining match, as always. Two historic clubs in this competition, each with its own characteristics. We’ll have to see who has the character and personality to show it on the pitch. Liverpool has always been very competitive and very dangerous. It was under (Juergen) Klopp, and it is with the new coach. 06:51 PM GMT Liverpool starting XI: Jones preferred to Szoboszlai, Alexander-Arnold on bench Team news! 📣 Alexander-Arnold only fit enough for the bench Liverpool 🆚 Real Madrid | — Telegraph Football (@TeleFootball) 06:42 PM GMT Slot on Real Madrid’s Champions League ‘aura’ I cannot talk for all the other teams they face but when I worked at my former club (Feyenoord) I said many times we should take the (example) of Madrid, that they always find a way to win. They can win it in different ways and that is probably one of the reasons - apart from them having so much quality - that they won this tournament a lot. I can only speak for myself but maybe the players feel the same. They can win by being dominant and outplaying the opponent, but if it is a difficult game they always find a way to win the game or go to the next round. 06:38 PM GMT Gareth Bale is taking a break from the golf course The former Real Madrid man and five-time Champions League winner is at Anfield on punditry duty tonight. 06:14 PM GMT Making sense of that Real Madrid team No Rodrygo or Vinicius, so former Manchester City academy product Brahim Diaz and, you would think, Kylian Mbappe on the flanks. Mbappe vs Alexander-Arnold is the match-up Gareth Southgate always seemed keen to avoid as England manager, though the Liverpool right-back is not expected to be fit enough to start. Antonio Rudiger, Ferland Mendy and Raúl Asencio are the only recognised defenders on the team sheet. Camavinga has played at left-back previously, but that is Mendy’s position. Valverde at right-back? Or a back three with a midfield diamond? We shall see. With Jude Bellingham expected to take up a roving central attacking position, it is more like the dynamic Real had in this competition this season. It would sound ludicrous, and could look ludicrous by the end of the night, to say Real’s team is better without Vinicius but it does solve the dilemma of how to fit the Brazilian, Mbappe and Bellingham into one team against strong opposition. 06:06 PM GMT Real Madrid starting XI 📋✅ Our starting XI! 🆚 — Real Madrid C.F. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 (@realmadriden) 06:05 PM GMT Best betting sites Betting on the football today? Take a look at for free bets and betting offers. 06:03 PM GMT Sign up to our Telegraph Football newsletter 06:03 PM GMT Man of the moment Mohamed Salah can reverse fortunes vs Real Madrid Beating a Real Madrid side deprived of Vinicius Junior would not quite avenge Liverpool’s 2018 and 2022 Champions League final defeats, but it would confirm Arne Slot’s team as serious candidates to win the competition this season. Liverpool are the only club of 36 in the Champions League who retain a chance of taking maximum points from their first five games, and victory tonight would likely leave them requiring just one more win to confirm a top-eight finish. There is no disgrace in having Real as your bogey team, but they have been something of a scourge for Liverpool who are winless against the Spanish club in their last eight competitive meetings. Their last win was a 4-0 thrashing at Anfield in the 2009 Champions League last 16. The 2018 final in Kiev brought pain in more than one respect, with Mohamed Salah’s night ended prematurely by a shoulder injury sustained in a tangle with Real defender Sergio Ramos. Salah could well have been the match-winner four years later in Paris, but was repelled repeatedly by Thibaut Courtois as Jurgen Klopp missed out on his reign’s second European Cup. Plenty of motivation for Salah then, who is in the spotlight after suggesting he is closer to leaving Liverpool at the end of the season than staying. Salah says he is yet to receive a contract offer from Liverpool, with his current deal expiring in the summer. The situation looks far from decided and Salah’s statement could well be brinkmanship, but it is an unwanted distraction after such a serene start to the Slot era. Liverpool face Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday, when they will have the chance to pull 11 points clear of the champions. With Liverpool already on 12 points in the Champions League’s new league phase, Slot might be tempted to prioritise that match but you do not rest players for European Cup meetings with Real Madrid (unless of course, you are Brendan Rodgers in 2014). The competition holders are without Vinicius because of a muscular injury, but that might afford Carlo Ancelotti the chance to find a better tactical balance. Accommodating the winger, Jude Bellingham and summer arrival Kylian Mbappe has proved difficult for Real, who have been turned over by Lille and AC Milan so far in Europe. Full team news on the way shortly.
