[스포티비뉴스=임창만·장하준 영상기자]Liverpool were completely defeated by defending champions Real Madrid.
Liverpool and Real Madrid’s Champions League first 16 round on the 22nd was a rematch of last season’s final. Liverpool, who were frustrated on the brink of winning the championship by losing 0-1 at the time, were dreaming of revenge in the round of 16 this time.
The beginning was good. Liverpool took the lead through Darwin Núñez’s goal in the third minute. And Mohamed Salah, who missed Thibaut Courtois’ fatal error, made it 2-0 in the 14th minute.
But Liverpool’s lead did not last very long. In the 21st minute of the first half, Vinicius, who is known as Liverpool’s natural enemy, scored a comeback goal, and then scored a lucky goal in the 36th minute to tie the game.
This time, Alisson’s fatal mistake was responsible for the goal. On this day, the goalkeepers of both teams, Courtois and Alisson, are regarded as the best goalkeepers in the world, but unfortunately, they both made big mistakes and provided excuses for conceding goals.
On the other hand, Real, who took advantage of the atmosphere, won 5-2 thanks to Eder Militang’s goal and Karim Benzema’s multi-goal goal.
With this, Real moved one step closer to progressing to the quarter-finals, and Liverpool suffered a disaster at Anfield, the ‘grave of the away team’.
