On Wednesday night, Liverpool were left helpless as Real Madrid ran riot at Anfield. The Spanish giants put on a masterclass of attacking football, scoring five goals without reply to take a commanding lead in the Champions League quarter-final tie.<\/p>\n
It was a night to forget for Liverpool, who were completely outclassed by a Real Madrid side that looked sharp and clinical in attack. Karim Benzema opened the scoring after just seven minutes, before Toni Kroos, Casemiro, Marco Asensio and Vinicius Junior all got on the scoresheet.<\/p>\n
Liverpool had no answer to the attacking prowess of Real Madrid, who were able to pick apart the Reds\u2019 defence with ease. The home side had no answer to the pace and movement of the Madrid attackers, who seemed to have an answer to every question Liverpool posed.<\/p>\n
It was a night that will live long in the memory of Real Madrid fans, as they witnessed their team put on a performance of the highest quality. It was a performance that showed why they are one of the favourites to win the Champions League this season, and why they are a team to be feared in Europe.<\/p>\n
For Liverpool, it was a night to forget. They were completely outplayed by a superior opponent, and there is no doubt that they will have to improve if they are to have any chance of progressing in the competition.<\/p>\n

If they are to progress in the Champions League, they will have to put in a much better performance in the second leg in Madrid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
