Full Time Thoughts
The six time European Champions paid a big price for some horrible defending. However Liverpool have been in this position many times and have beaten all the odds at Anfield.
Lets hope the reds can pull of another miracle, but Real Madrid are in cruise control of the tie heading to Anfield!
FULL TIME
HALFTIME IN THE TIE!
A dissapointing night for the reds as they lose 3-1 in Madrid who have it all to do in next week's second leg at Anfield.
Vinicius Junior scored twice and Marco Asensio added another, but Mohamed Salah did bag an all important away goal for Jurgen Klopp side.
The reds will go back to Merseyside hoping they can turn this around but without fans it will be a huge task.

Second half
First half summary
However the hosts were good without being exceptional, and unpicked Liverpool with a series of long passes from Toni Kroos. His brilliant vision and range of passes led to both goals, scored by Vinicius Junior and Marco Asensio, and it would have been worse but for a very good save by Alisson just before the break.
45- HALF TIME
Real Madrid lead 2-0 goal from Vinicious and Asensio who have put the hosts in the driving seat.
Its going to be a massive team talk for Jurgen Klopp as he tries to change things ahead of the second half.

Another Liverpool mistake as Toni Kroos once again the provider. Marco Asensio makes it two after a howler from Trent Alexander-Arnold!

It’s still pretty cagey. Madrid’s passing has been better than Liverpool but neither side has created any clear chances.
