I attribute the poor result to Liveerpool defenders. Manchester city or Manchester united will not do such careless favour in champion league round of 16. Considering 5 goals after netting two goals is not a mistake club like Liverpool should make at that level. I wonder if they will have such luck of scoring an away goal as I know Carlo Anceloti boys will be so deadly in Santiago Bernabeu.

I agree with you that defense is the main mistake of Liverpool's defeat that's very strange to see Liverpool conceded 5 goals at home they should be able to control the game. If Liverpool only conceded 2 goals and drew I thought it could still be tolerated but what happened was really beyond our expectations, I don't think Liverpool have a chance in the second leg as you said there is no way to beat Real Madrid when playing at the Bernabeu Stadium unless Madrid get a bad day playing with 9 players  Cheesy I have to say goodbye Liverpool .

They should have learned how Real Madrid always come back even with so little time left. They had a 2 goal lead in the 14th minute, they should have focused more on defense, but what happened was they made a blunder which was punished with a goal by Real Madrid. Anfiled is a haunted place for other teams, but that is not the case for Real Madrid. I'm not sure they will be able to make a comeback like they did in 2019 when they competed in the semifinals against Barcelona.

Real Madrid is indeed able to show extraordinary mentality. Ancelotti's team is one of the teams that often wins comebacks after previously falling behind in the Champions League match. So with a victory with a fairly landslide score, it is very likely that Madird has locked a ticket to the quarter-finals. Then for Liverpool, their era can be said to be over.
The surprising thing about the Real Madrid team is, how they manage to stay calm even in the face of impending danger, it amazes me! Ancelotti too shows little reactions to this. His always as calm as ever and have great believe in his team. From 2 goals down to another stronge side like Liverpool, to scoring 5 goals without any response from Liverpool and beating them in a 2:5 goals Real Madrid win. Its something only Real Madrid can do and not just for a time but, over and over again.
Klopp is sure to have learnt a thing or two from yesterday's disappointment. This tells how his team has deteriorated!
I can say that Real Madrid are a different team when they play in the Champions League, we all know that in La Liga they have fallen and many think that their decline will continue in the Champions League. But what happened was the opposite, when they were 2 goals behind their mentality as the holder of 14 times champion status was felt, they could even score 5 goals to turn things around.
Liverpool had a fast start, but they conceded five goals, which was unbelievable. Real Madrid's left-back was injured very early minutes. Nacho, who was included in the game instead, did a good job. Liverpool were very slow in every part of the game after scoring goals, several of the goals were player errors, Alisson serious error. Real Madrid is again advancing towards the trophy. You remember these comebacks well from last season. The pro of this cup is Real Madrid.

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.

I wasn't surprised by the performance of the Real Madrid, they have the squad and experience to pull off such performance anyday. I always knew they would pull a comeback in the game against Liverpool but wasn't expecting Liverpool to score two goals that quickly and maybe that's where the mistakes started from because they began to fill very comfortable and thought they have the game under control forgetting that they're playing against comeback kings that have been doing that in the games leading to this encounter.  It was just disgraceful watching Liverpool get destroyed but that still doesn't take out the argument that the premier league is the better league.

Smaller clubs in the premier league had done more damages this season to Liverpool than what Real Madrid did. Atleast with Real Madrid, Liverpool could score and not just once but twice. Against smaller things this season on numerous occasions, Liverpool has conceded more than three goals without any reply. Liverpool are just having a bad season and I think it's time they let some players leave the club. Players like Mo Salah shoudn't have gotten the salary increase he got instead they would had try to keep Sadio Mane at the club with a better salary than what he was receiving.

So with a victory with a fairly landslide score, it is very likely that Madird has locked a ticket to the quarter-finals. Then for Liverpool, their era can be said to be over.
It's no wonder that Real Madrid's nickname of the king of comebacks was proven by slaughtering Liverpool after trailing by two goals at the start of the last 16 of the Champions League yesterday, and Rela Madrid's comebacks often occur throughout the Champions League.
it is difficult for Liverpool to turn things around in the second leg at home to Real Madrid, they may be slaughtered again with a big score by Real Madrid. And there is no longer any hope for Liverpool and it is certain that Real Madrid will qualify for the next round.

It was a good betting round for me from the last matches. I'm not so keen on putting a bet tonight. City and Inter are heavy favorites and with decent odds on ML too but I'm just skeptical since I am clueless on how their opponents may perform. I'm thinking of double chance but odds are just too low for me. Not worth the risk.
Seeing the track record of porto and leipzig in the domestic league and i think that leipzign has pretty bad performance. Porto is still as good as benfica. It seems like that the match between inter against porto is much more riskier compared with manchester city against leipzig. I personally thought that if betting city has more chance to win caused by leipzig is not doing well in bundesliga. Leipzig was also losing against berlin. The match between city against liepzig is quite easy to predict.

The thing that makes me feel doubt about city is city will play against leipzig without its best player de bruyne. We do know that how big contribution from de bruyne for city in EPL. De bruyne is actually needed by city in UCL.

If we refer to the statistics that Porto has, Porto's performance is fairly impressive in its domestic league. in 10 matches in all competitions, Porto achieved very impressive results and wiped out 10 matches with a win. In this match, Sergio Conceicao's squad will be tested against Inter away. but it won't be easy, because after all Inter are one level above them. after all, Inter will not miss the chance that in fact they are playing at home. So, I'm sure Inter will beat Porto with a score of 2-1.

On the other hand, the Leipzig vs Manchester City match. even though Leipzig are playing at home, they know that City is not an easy opponent to beat. moreover, Leipzig will not be strengthened by some of its players. As for Manchester City, in this match City will not play De Buryne. however, Pep Guardiola still has other options as a replacement. and yes, as we agreed, on paper City is more favored than Leipzig in this match. so, it looks like this fight will be owned by The Citizen.

Manchester City have not had the best of seasons in the Premier League but they should still beat Leipzig who have lost a lot of their best players recently.
Maybe you are right about Manchester City in the Premier League, but I hope they will be very strong in the Champions League this season. Meanwhile I don't expect Manchester City to lose in the round of 16 and they should smoothly progress to the quarter-finals this season.

Winning against Leipzig is mandatory, they are the undoubted favorites today. I support Manchester City especially because I believe they will win the match, maybe I could be wrong but very likely to be right.

AKE: WE MUST TAKE RECENT LEVELS INTO RB LEIPZIG SHOWDOWN

Quote
"I think there's been some frustration with a good step forward then a little back in terms of results," he admitted in a pre-match press conference.
"The play was alright, especially in the last game but we just didn't get the result.
"We have to take the confidence from the way we played in the last couple of games into this one, that’s all we can do.
"I don’t think there’ll be too much of a thought that this the Champions League and that we have to play differently.
"We have to go with the same confidence and mentality we have had in the last couple of games and keep it going."

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.
Having this type of result shouldn't cause Klopp to be fired, that is really not the solution to it. First of all, a few of these goals were pure luck based, they just had very unlucky game, sure their own second goal was luck too and Salah was there to score it, but at the end of the day Klopp is the one that took them to this level anyway.

If we are disappointed by Liverpool losing this badly, that is because Klopp made them into a good team, if he wasn't there, Liverpool may not be even in this level, could be a team like Spurs at most, and that is why it's quite important to remember that Klopp is owed so much for the club and should be given another season.

Two of the toughest European teams will face off in the 2023 UEFA Champions League Round of 16 as Inter Milan host FC Porto on today. These teams haven't played each other since the Champions League group stage in 2005, where both sides walked away with one victory. Fast forward to present day and both teams sit in second place in their respective leagues. The home team enters todays match having won four out of their last five across all competition, while the visiting Porto squad hasn't lost or drawn a match since January. So in this match any side is good to fly.
The current condition of the two teams in terms of performance can be said to be very good. Porto are currently comfortably at the top of the domestic league but Inter's focus in the Champions League cannot be underestimated.
I think this is going to be very exciting to watch regardless of what this is a match that is really worth watching. I don't dare to bet much on this match but Inter I think will be the winner in this first leg.

I just watched the highlights and it went a bit different than how I expected. I saw the score before the highlights, 5-2, and I assumed that Real scored bunch of goals first, and then Liverpool scored when it was already decided, turns out it was Liverpool who went ahead 2-0 first, and then Real scored 5 in a row! That info alone is good enough to basically show everyone how amazing Real is at UCL, like that real, which already scored 5 goals in around 50 minutes total between first and last goal, could beat anyone in the entire tournament. I know they didn't look great this season, but when its UCL, they can beat anyone, truly a pure UCL team.

Let's talk a little about the probability of winning. I don't think the visitors have a high chance of winning the match, there has to be a reason for that. Inter are a tough team to beat at home this season in all competitions, and this has to be the best reason why Porto's chances are so low. Even if Porto win, it is such an unexpected advantage today that they will secure the second leg at home.

An Inter win is to be expected, they are favorites as are Manchester City who travel to Leipzig at the same time. Manchester City and Inter will both win this match in my opinion, but it will be interesting to watch the two unseeded sides struggle today.

The game will be started in a few hours between Porto and Inter Milan, Since we are talking about football and the amazing moment we can see in the future nothing is truly predictable for tonight Iner is the second team if their league and let's say they are not even near to the first place while is on the same position of their league but need just give points and these two team never face each other recently but during the five last games Porto won all the games while Inter won four games and I'm sure we are going to watch an amazing game tonight.

I was just too sure of Madrid's victory yesterday I know Liverpool was just opportune to have scored the two goals and with Benzema given one assist and scoring two goals Benzema never disappoints and apart from the goals real Madrid has six goals on target, Liverpool was having more ball possession than real Madrid it was a well-played game yesterday.
Normally I knew Liverpool weren’t going to get the whole 3 points to themselves even when they were 2-0 up. They have been poor this season and defensively they were always going to fumble when under pressure. When the gold started coming in I knew was going to be more than 2. You can’t hide an attack of Vinicius, KARIM Benzema and Rodrigyo for 90mins. They were always going to score and I have always knew Madrid as a team that is good with come backs.

In fact, Liverpool are currently in poor performance this season so when Liverpool play against the European king Real Madrid, then of course Liverpool have no chance of winning. But I wonder why the bookies still put Liverpool as the favorite team even though it is clear that at this moment Liverpool do not have good quality.

Therefore, I personally don't hesitate to bet on Real Madrid and also, the odds for Real Madrid are quite high so I feel this is a way to get a fairly easy win with good odds.

Real Madrid extraordinary comeback after falling two goals behind Liverpool made Ancelotti team very comfortable when they played the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu. The 5-2 score was disastrous for Liverpool, the results obtained at Anfield made Liverpool efforts to go to the quarter-finals very difficult, they had to win with a four goal difference.
Liverpool who are not in their best form, will obviously find it difficult to score against Real Madrid four times without reply, the result at Anfield has given a bright spot on which team will move on to the quarter-finals.
Just before the Liverpool vs Real Madrid match started, I said that it wasn't funny at all that the bookies underestimated us in the Champions League even though it was at Anfield. Obviously it was a big mistake they made, but it doesn't matter because I hope lots of gamblers enjoy the win. It's up to who underestimates, they only feel the consequences. lol

Right now we have to quickly refocus on the league match against Atletico Madrid as derby match. The victory at Liverpool must make the squad more confident to win this home match. There is not much time to rest, Real Madrid really need to focus on securing 3 more points.
No one could have imagined that Liverpool would be defeated by such a margin by Real Madrid. I have seen English clubs always lose to La Liga clubs. But now it is very challenging for Liverpool to survive in the Super Sixteen of the UEFA Champions League. Liverpool must beat Liverpool 4-0 to advance to the next round. If Liverpool can beat Real Madrid 4-0 then they can go to the next round, I think it's almost impossible for Liverpool.
I attribute the poor result to Liveerpool defenders. Manchester city or Manchester united will not do such careless favour in champion league round of 16. Considering 5 goals after netting two goals is not a mistake club like Liverpool should make at that level. I wonder if they will have such luck of scoring an away goal as I know Carlo Anceloti boys will be so deadly in Santiago Bernabeu.

I think there is no way Liverpool are advancing to the next round.
Liverpool lost at home, there is no hope for them when they visit the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. Real Madrid will quickly finish of Liverpool and will be looking to their next opponent. I do not know if there will be another draw to determine the next fixtures, or the winners of the games in one day play each other next, if so, then the next opponent Real Madrid will be facing will be Napoli who already have an advantage against Frankfurt and will most likely win. A game between Real Madrid and Napoli in their current form is something to watch out for and expect.

Alisson's simple mistake reminded me of Karius' horrible performance against Real Madrid in a Champions League game again.  Grin  Thankfully Alisson wasn't that much bad at least.

Benzema and Vinicius Junior were the most impressive players of the night in my opinion. They both scored two goals and made an assist. One of Benzema's goals came due to some luck also maybe but this still doesn't overshadow his general effort in this game. I don't understand how Liverpool defense can be this much bad. They just conceded 3 goals in 20 minutes after the score came to 2-2. As van Dijk was back in the starting lineup I thought that they would be stronger there. I think there is no way Liverpool are advancing to the next round.
