Liverpool went on a great streak at home at Anfield.
Real Madrid won with a massive 5-2 and now Liverpool are suffering a crushing defeat.
– It is the end of an era, says Thierry Henry.
Liverpool went home at full speed. Despite going up 2-0, they collapsed, losing by a wide margin, 5-2.
– We missed all five goals. We lost momentum and we never got it back,” said Jurgen Klopp in the post-match press conference.
Reactions after a major loss are powerful. One of the crucial votes is Jamie Carragher, who has played for Liverpool his entire 17-year career.
Liverpool are eighth in the English Premier League and have just been crushed 5-2. What we’ve seen this season is unacceptable, says Jamie Carragher on CBS Sports.
He also makes a bad pass to Virgil van Dijk after the loss.
– He said a few months ago that I would not take a place in the back line, but now I can take his place, he says.
Thierry Henry agrees with the criticism.
– It’s the end of an era at Liverpool, he says.
“transcendent”
Former captain Steven Gerrard believes Liverpool simply cannot match Real Madrid.
Liverpool dominated and outperformed. I’m sure they will look at how they concede five goals. The former BT Sports captain said it wasn’t good enough.
Most things point to settling the Round of 16 match with Real Madrid. In any case, Liverpool travel to Madrid for the second leg on March 15 – and it remains to be seen if they can pull off a match this double-header.
