Liverpool’s encounter with Real Madrid seemed destined to be a European half-time classic with the Reds able, at the time, to secure a huge win to change the narrative around their season.
Unfortunately, it quickly turned into a night to forget for the hosts, as a set-piece goal from Eder Militao led to a second-half humiliation for Jurgen Klopp’s men, prompting Jamie Carragher to throw some criticism at Virgil. van Dijk after the final whistle.
Joe Gomez also deserved some criticism of his part in a truly chaotic second 45 minutes that may very well leave our German tactician with some tough decisions to make this summer.
