It is in the intensity of its press, somehow diluted and dimmed. It is the spaces between its players, a little too large, and the cohesion between its lines, now ever so slightly ragged. Liverpool, suddenly, looked to be what it has been for much of the season: a mid-table Premier League team caught in the throes of an awkward, jarring transition. This is Real Madrid, after all, and this is the Champions League. The crowd started to whistle, and then to jeer: at Real Madrid, at its own players, chasing at shadows, at this whole long, damned, miserable season. As the game wound down, as the crowd started to thin out just a little, Real Madrid decided to indulge in a little game of keepaway.
Real Madrid battered Liverpool at Anfield, with Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema leading the way in a convincing 5-2 Champions League win.
But Madrid clawed their way back into the contest, with Vinicius the key man. The visitors then exploded in the second half, as Eder Militao and Benzema scored in quick succession, before Benzema added a fifth to perhaps put the tie to bed ahead of the return leg at Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid battered Liverpool at Anfield, with Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema leading the way in a convincing 5-2 win in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

The Brazilian started on Wednesday due to the absence of Toni Kroos in midfield (although the German came on as a substitute), but with Kroos and Aurelien Tchouameni both fit at the weekend after suffering from flu, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has the option of pushing Fede Valverde forward from central midfield to a role on the right of the Real Madrid attack. It looks to be impossible for Alaba to recover for Saturday's match at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, while Rodrygo will also be a doubt for that game and next week's Copa del Rey semifinal first leg at home to FC Barcelona, a Xinhua report said. David Alaba had to leave the game in the first half after suffering a hamstring problem, while Rodrygo was forced out in the second half after suffering a strain high on the back of his left leg.

The second half was a lesson in how to kill a game, and potentially the tie, from Real, who did not give Liverpool an inch and took their chances clinically. The Frenchman has scored six goals against Liverpool in the Champions League, more than any other player. Fourteen minutes in at Anfield and some form of redemption seemed to be on the cards for the Liverpool manager. "We struggled in the beginning, they started well, better than us, it was a big game. A bullet Eder Militao header completed the turnaround for Real early in the second half, sapping all the life out of Anfield in the process. The stadium erupted 10 minutes later when a horrendous miscontrol from Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois let Mohamed Salah in for the second, with the Egyptian now Liverpool's all-time top goalscorer in European competition.

The way Klopp has addressed the entire post-match conference there is a hint that he still believes that his team can defy the odds and make a comeback in the second leg of this fixture. The start in the game, in our situation where we are, it is really important that we see positive steps – and I think the first half was, besides the two goals we conceded, the best we’ve played for probably the whole season.” In the post-match conference, he said that: “I really think everything was pretty obvious tonight; I think we gave all five goals away and that means we could have done better there, but they were all obviously different.
Goals from Victor Osimhen and Giovanni Di Lorenzo gave dominant Napoli a 2-0 victory at 10-man Eintracht Frankfurt in their last-16 first leg..Real Madrid.
Frankfurt were reduced to 10 men just before the hour and Napoli captain Di Lorenzo soon doubled the visitors' advantage in the 65th from a superb backheel assist by the tricky Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who made amends for his first half penalty miss. "Yes, we have to improve but we have to take the good things as well. "We never lost confidence and little by little we won control of the ball. We could have done better there but they (Real) were obviously different. Two last-gasp goals from Rodrygo took the tie to extra time, with Karim Benzema finishing an astonishing comeback with a decisive penalty. "If we allow this one game to be influential, we are really silly.

What next for Liverpool after Champions League humiliation against Real Madrid? By Matias Grez, CNN. Published 5:10 AM EST, Wed February ...
It might only be the end of February, but Liverpool’s season – for all intents and purposes – is already over. It’s certainly not an impossible task, with Liverpool seven points behind Tottenham in fourth, but with two games in hand. The first goal, we became slightly passive higher up the pitch and we were not chasing them where we had to chase them. “It was exactly how we wanted to play, we caused them problems all over the place, we were really in the game with a super intense start. we can change five times [substitutes], we can keep the rhythm, but then the first situation pretty much … “I think the whole first half was good, besides the [Real] goals.
It will take a mighty effort to repair the damage to morale sustained during the club's worst ever home defeat in Europe.
It’s not been the easiest season so far but the only way to get out of it is to stick together and that’s the message – even now. “The second leg is in three weeks.” Klopp’s message was telling because it recognised the implications of a game that was not just any other game or any other defeat, but unlike any Anfield encounter in his European adventures with Liverpool. “The start was outstanding, us in a nutshell, and that’s what we have to keep doing. If we allow this one game to be really influential we are really silly; 5-2 can be damaging but I have to make sure it is not.” The reaction is likely to have repercussions beyond a season of alarming regression.
The turnaround against Liverpool was a sporting masterclass, and one that encapsulates the team's personal and technical qualities.
The goal—and a dream numerical advantage—is at his mercy. The opening 14 minutes became irrelevant, as far as Real was concerned. What did that do to the mindset as it swam against the tide in an intimidating atmosphere? The synchronicity and timing of movements suggest each player knows the others’ role to a tee. Even by elite soccer standards, it’s impressive and a model for any organization wanting to excel at the top level. Real was not better in every metric, such as expected goals and possession statistics, apart from the one that mattered—the scoreline.

Tonight 5-2 they are pretty good in counter attacking and we have to go there and take some risks to score three goals. We go there to try and win the game.” “And that produced a match which was lovely to play in and for those who were watching.” If anything, this Madrid team looks more complete than the one that beat Jurgen Klopp's team in last year’s Paris final. While the goal was a moment of good fortune, it was also a measure of the panic he sparked in Liverpool’s defense that Alisson was rushed into making the mistake. There was the chaotic defending that allowed Liverpool to race into a 2-0 lead as Darwin Nunez struck with a backheel in the fourth minute and Mohamed Salah doubled the advantage thanks to Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois’ blunder.

The Spaniard won the Champions League twice, once with Liverpool in 2005 and again with Real Madrid in 2014, making him one of the few players to have done so. He scored 15 goals in 40 games in a single season in Spain and won La Liga before returning to the Premier League with Newcastle. The former Spaniard midfielder spent five years with Liverpool before returning to his hometown for six seasons with Real Madrid. Dudek will always be remembered as a hero at Liverpool following his performance in the 2005 Champions League final. He spent five years at Monaco, the first two on loan, before drawing the eye of Klopp, who signed him in 2018 for about £39 million ($47.5 million). When he left Liverpool for Valencia in 2007, he had 12 goals in 61 games. After breaking into the first team as a 17-year-old, he scored 158 goals in 297 games for Liverpool. Nunez made 27 appearances in his debut season in England, largely as a substitute, although he was present in key crucial games, including the 3-1 victory over Olympiacos in the Champions League, which featured that remarkable goal by Steven Gerrard. He is presently the manager of Antalyaspor. Injuries plagued his debut season under Mourinho, and it was revealed the following summer that he would be joining Liverpool on loan for the 2012-13 season, managed by Brendan Rodgers. The 10 players listed here are among the best to have represented both Real Madrid and Liverpool. Both teams have had their fair share of talented players over the years who have gone on to accomplish great things on the field.
