But seriously, I think that was the beginning of the end for Klopp now. Or maybe said differently, the end of the end. The beginning of the end is their performance in the Premier League. Now losing 2:5 in a home game after a lead with two goals, I am shocked and Klopp is probably, too.
Everyone associated with Liverpool is shocked, you don't lose in that way in front of your home crowd, because at the end of the day it wouldn't be the defeat (or imminent elimination) that matters, but how possible (and quickly) can you pick yourselves up and get ready for the busy schedule ahead, with games set to start coming thick and fast. I don't know for how long before we start seeing agitations for Klopp to be fired, i know he has given Liverpool quite a lot to cheer for in recent years, but the performances this season is unacceptable and i'm pretty sure sooner or later the board would make that unequivocally known to him.
It was an embarrassing defeat. We predicted that Liverpool team will not win against Real Madrid. But nobody expected Liverpool to be beaten so badly. However, Benzema's performance in this match was extraordinary. He proved that Benzema has not aged yet and is still in great form. If Benzema could have stayed with the squad from the start of the season, Madrid would have been at the top of La Liga. Benzema scored two goals and one assist in this match. Apart from Benzema, the youngster VIni played superbly in this match. Vinicius scored both goals in the first half.
