Mohammed Salah’s Liverpool is out of the Champions League having slipped to a Bernabeu defeat against Real Madrid following their 5-2 Anfield defeat.
Karim Benzema scored the only goal of the game to advance Carlo Ancelotti’s team to the quarterfinals. However, in reality, it never seemed in any real threat in a tie between two historically significant teams in this contest.
The 5-2 advantage the Spanish giants had after the first leg was perfectly maintained by them. The Champions League trophy has been won 14 times by the Spanish giants, and they are through to defend their trophy in the next round. Even as the Bernabeu undergoes a significant renovation, you are constantly reminded of the team’s rich history and successes.
Jurgen Klopp’s team will have to focus exclusively on the Premier League top-four race now. Real Madrid, on the other hand, demonstrated in front of their own supporters that they have what it takes to successfully protect their Champions League title.
