Liverpool humiliated by Real Madrid in Champions League to leave season in tatters LFC
The 14-time European champions handed Liverpool a humiliation on their home patch
Darwin Nunez put the hosts ahead after four minutes with his cheeky flick, before Mohamed Salah pounced onThings would go from bad to worse for Liverpool two minutes into the second half as Eder Militao netted in a thumping header.It was no less than Madrid deserved as Liverpool continued to collapse, and Matt Jones told talkSPORT: “This is an absolute nightmare for Liverpool.”Madrid still had time to score a fifth, with Benzema becoming the second player of the night to net a brace.
Ian Danter added: “Real Madrid are toying with Liverpool like a cat with a mouse… they are taunting Liverpool.”Liverpool could find no response to the Madrid onslaught and eventually fell to defeat at half-time in the tie. The result leaves Liverpool with one hell of a job to do in the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu after a night to forget on their home turf.
Madrid also became just the second team to net five past Liverpool in European competitions after Ajax’s 5-1 triumph in the European Cup in 1966.talkSPORT BET OFFER OF THE DAY18+ New customers only.
