Real Madrid Earn an Impressive 5-2 Win at Liverpool

Even though Liverpool had a two-goal lead early on in the first leg of their Champions League round-of-16 match at Anfield, Real Madrid shocked everyone by defeating them 5-2.

Vinicius Junior struck twice before halftime to offset Liverpool’s early lead, and three unanswered goals in the second half, including two goals from Karim Benzema, handed Jurgen Klopp’s team its worst Champions League home defeat ever.

Throughout a furious first half, the Reds had threatened to overrun the world champions, who had defeated them in the Champions League final in May. Just four minutes later, Darwin Nunez’s flick gave them the lead before Mohamed Salah capitalized on a mistake by Thibaut Courtois.
