Before the game tonight i had taken my word back as regards Real Madrid picking Liverpool apart, i did so because i thought Liverpool coming into this game on the back of two victories against Everton and Newcastle would give them the well needed confidence to go out there tonight and give their fans something to cheer about, and to be fair to them, they did, but it only lasted for 20 minutes, before it absolutely turned into a Real Madrid show.

Having said that, quite a lot of things are going wrong for Liverpool, i just read that this is the first time they are conceding 5 goals in a European comperition in Anfield. The bad thing about this loss is its demoralizing effect, just after the team started to find their spirit again, and i am pretty sure this defeat would affect them in the EPL. As far as the second leg goes, this is already a done deal imo, Real Madrid are just too experienced to throw away a three goal lead when they are playing at home, thus it should be goodbye Liverpool.
