Liverpool has suffered the law of Real Madrid (2-5) this Tuesday in the 8th final first leg of the Champions League. Satisfied by the face of his team at the beginning of the game, the Reds coach Jürgen Klopp regretted the big mistakes of his players on the rest of the game.
Real Madrid has taken a serious option on the qualification for the quarterfinals before the return match in the Spanish capital in March.
In the other first leg of the round of 16 on Tuesday night, Frankfurt received a lesson in realism from a Napoli team that then managed its lead perfectly (0-2).
The clash between Liverpool and Real Madrid was the big game of the Champions League Round of 16. The Reds and the Merengues met again nine months after the last C1 final in the Stade de France, where Real had won its 14th Cup with big ears.
Real had a catastrophic start, under pressure from the Reds. The latter quickly scored two goals via a sumptuous technical gesture from Nunez and a monumental blunder from Courtois.
But then, Madrid gave a real lesson of realism to their opponents of the day. They even piled up the goals. We will remember that Alisson also had a hole in his goal (a nightmare evening for the goalkeepers) and that Benzema was once again the star of the show.
