An amazing result (Real Madrid again! how I love it!) but there is also a sad part - don't you think this is the end of Klopp's Liverpool?
Winning at the Santiago Bernabéu by 4 goals is hardly possible, which means Liverpool are leaving the Champions League and have a slim chance of getting into it next year. Time to look for a new coach?

By the way, got another $20 from betnomi with a personal alert from betnomi. Thanks a lot! I'll try to make my bets memorable

I know we are not in good shape, in fact my pick was 1 - 2 win for Madrid LOL. But I did not expect Madrid will demolish us like this in the second half. You have two goals lead and then you concede 5 goals. It's murder.

which means Liverpool are leaving the Champions League and have a slim chance of getting into it next year. Time to look for a new coach?

We are done for this CL. In the away match there are no chance for us. Get ready for the worst.

A 3 goals win at the Santiago Bernabéu for Liverpool would send the game into extra time, but how can be so sure of that chances , if they couldn't even take a advantage 2 goals lead on with their home crowd it's full effect, how can we expect more than what transpired tonight from the return leg, It's football and anything can happen, but sometimes optimism can only lead to further high expectation hence, even more disappointment.

That will depend on the bosses, but I believe they have to give him time to rebuild. Right now, Liverpool is in shambles and sacking him won't help that much

Who knows? Maybe Trent Alexander-Arnold ends up taking another quick corner and Liverpool are back in the game

Real has given Liverpool a proper football lesson in second half. Did not catch first 30 minutes so basically I have only seen Real play.

Real is real boogeyman for Liverpool, just look at history of their previous matches, but this was spectacle to watch.
I bet nobody expected this scenario in first half when Liverpool scored first two goals, but that is the beauty of this sport
I predicted outcome of both today matches correct, but there was no exact score for me today.
What is happening with you in this pool, why are you near bottom?

I mentioned earlier that Real Madrid are a different breed in the Champions League; I knew Liverpool would be exposed sooner or later after unconvincingly leading 2:0 after 20 minutes, but I never expected them to bottle such an advantage. I can't believe I was thinking about having two Liverpool defenders in my fantasy team, but after watching Vini run through them like they were nothing, I don't think any of them are worth it. Liverpool becomes the first English Premier League club to exit the UCL because there is no way to outscore Real Madrid at home.

How do I explain to my children that Virgil once considered himself one of the EPL's greats after winning the Liverpool Covid-19 EPL title and being consistent for two seasons?, I've never seen a defender who is so disorganized and unable to command his backline. Watching Liverpool makes Chelsea look better this season.

the worse round for me, ive lost 3 places since already. went with both teams to win.

It only gets tougher with time, and as the competition and moving up places and dropping places becomes harder you know after each knockout, at this stage you just can't be sure of anything, Napoli was quite an easy pick for almost anyone right, but given Club Brugge record at the group stages, I expected to score at least a goal, that's why I went with 2-1 pick for Napoli. I went with a draw for the game at Anfield, little did I know both teams have their own different choice of drama to display.

Liverpool could be probably win the game in Spain, and I'll be backing them to win if the Odds are 3-4 Odds issh, but their chances of qualification is the only possibility I'm ruling out already without mincing words.

Indeed, Madrid's win is also quite interesting for our pool. Before tomorrow's games things got a bit closer.

Uff, didn't remember Liverpool losing a 2:0 like that. I was already celebrating a bit when they took a 2-0 lead in the first half (since I picked 2:1 LFC). How on earth can they let in five goals, lol.

Liverpool, who initially won from 2-0 through the strikes of Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez, could not stem the dominance of Real Madrid.
This result makes Madrid comfortable when diving the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.

[swogerino]

I completely forgot to put my picks yesterday which is not a thing that defines me,in all other pools I like putting predictions before the games start 1-2 days ahead but yesterday I had a lot of work and completely forgot.Not that would have changed anything even if I putted the picks as most probably I would have gone for a Liverpool win which was a devastating result for me seeing that 2-5 in Flashscore.

I will just put my picks for fun to continue to honor my pool participation but I believe to be the last place in the standings,it looks like Champions League is not for me  .

[cryptofrka]

God damn, this was humiliating. I knew we are in a bad moment but we had crap teams in the last 20 years or so that I've been following LFC and were never bullied like children.

Yesterday's performance should open everybody's eyes - our midfield needs huge investment. Bajcetic was awful and is at fault for 3 goals at least, but it was so frustrating to see a 18-year old boy still asking for the ball because everybody else was hiding.

We have turned around such results in the past, but no way that's happening this time around. We're gonna get bitchslapped in Madrid again.

As I said this season is already over for us after yesterday game,we need to start thinking like you suggest to make huge improvements to the team because it has been a couple of years that we are in such volatile situations where we have one great season fighting for the title and then the next one we are in one of our worse seasons,this can be corrected only by improving the team with new players.Teams who do not invest tend to fail over time just like we are seeing Liverpool nowadays,it is not that they have not invested,they simply have not made the right ones and I think Mane leaving was a big mistake for the team management.

In tonight games though we have some easy games on paper as both Inter and City should win their game but will they actually win it?

Only Chelsea has a good home record against Real Madrid; I'm not sure Liverpool can cause an upset in Spain; if they can't do it at home with a 2:0 lead, things will only get worse for them in Spain. Vini and Benzima ran through the Liverpool defense all night, until Klopp fixed that they have no business in Madrid.

Gomez, Trent, and Virgil were all terrible all night, but an 18-year-old Bajcetic is getting all of the blame- this is another reason Mane left, he was doing all of the dirty work while Salah was taking all of the credit from the Liverpool fans.

I believe Inter will win their game, but City may struggle against a strong Leipzig team, so it will be interesting to see how it plays out.

In terms of our team, we need to start looking at the transfer market and making some smart investments, bringing in some quality players who can help us improve our team and make us competitive again.

[slaman29]

They need to win this game to let all the pressure mount on Real Madrid for the return leg and this win tonight would also serve well to keep the momentum they already have and to give an even further boost to the moral of the players.

The bookies though think differently,they clearly have Real as the favorite in the game of tonight with an 2 odd,I think maybe they are correct in the logic for the odds but for me as a fan of Liverpool I think this game will end with a Liverpool narrow win and as such for me the bookies are wrong  .

And now the bookies swing the other way round, Liverpool 3.4 to win, great odds? Calamity keepers on both sides, but also a bit of bad luck for goals, and needless fouls from Gomez, it's a terrible humiliation for the Reds unfortunately.

I only care about Napoli though

Napoli has only lost three games in their last 20 appearances in Europe's top competition, and they hope to reach the quarterfinals for the first time. Despite being in good form and considered a favorite, Napoli has only won once in their previous nine matches in Germany, drawing three times and losing five. As a result, if Napoli wins this game, it will be a historic moment for the team, as they have previously struggled to win in Germany. so I expect a comfortable win for the Italians, with plenty of goals.

I was hoping that their performance in Champions League thus far will carry them on and this has proven to be the case. I don't want to talk about hype but just judging on their scores this season in Europe, they are the best team there, capable of beating Real Madrid, Bayern, even Manchester City. Just because of the way they play, great speedy counters, fine finishing and still quite a good defence.

History is made!

Everything is over for Liverpool, this is already clear, and if we evaluate the results of Liverpool objectively this season, then Klopp has long deserved to be replaced. He is a brilliant manager, but for some reason the results are very bad and he obviously cannot fix anything. Perhaps the match in Madrid will be his last chance, hoping for some kind of miracle.

I believe Inter will win their game, but City may struggle against a strong Leipzig team, so it will be interesting to see how it plays out.

It was difficult to decide in the Inter - Porto match, but I give my preference to Inter, although I admit that a draw is possible, I see that Porto last lost in October 2022, the unbeaten run is too long, today is a suitable match to interrupt this streak.

Do you really think so? RB Leipzig's last matches were rather mixed (see screenshot below) and I think Manchester City will have no big problems to win the match tonight.

I mean in February they scored one win, one draw and lost one match. They are in a "ok" form, I guess but City shouldn't have much trouble if you ask me. But my picks haven't been on point in the last few weeks either, so it could go entirely the other way, haha. In any case, I expect two high-scoring games tonight and hope that we get a similar spectacle as yesterday's Liverpool vs Real Madrid.

[buwaytress]

There is only one piece of good news I can share with Liverpool's thrashing yesterday, and that is that odds for them to qualify are roughly 22/1 (over 24/1 as I used a price boost). It worked out for me a few seasons ago, I understand I've just thrown away a few mbtcs, but well, you never know.

The other piece of good news is only for bullrun2020bro who has won the Ledger giveaway Congratulations!

[darxiaomi]

Well coming back to forum life after a few days, man Real Madrid in UCL its something more.

I cant believe how they always manage to score without effort.

their anthem says "because no one resists their desire to win" and its really true.

Wow thanks a lot. Another one.  

Holy moly, that's the 3rd Ledger I win in a Betnomi raffle, lol.

Since I have won a few Ledgers already, I would give it to someone else from our pool. Just send me a PM, if someone is interested and I will let @buwaytress know.

If nobody sends me a PM, I will take it of course, haha.

/edit: To avoid any missunderstandings. I would give it away for free ofc.

As I understand it, the Liverpool squad no longer corresponds (by age) to the style that Klopp adheres to (since there is simply no strength to play at a high pace during the entire match) and he needs to either rejuvenate the squad or change his style. The first depends on the owners of the club - investments are needed, but it is not clear about the second - can Klopp himself come up with something else? Both Dortmund and Liverpool under his leadership played the same high-energy football.

[Trofo]

Two games tonight and I know which one I am watching. I am expecting quite tactical boring game between Inter & Porto while it should be total football in Leipzig vs. City. Don't think we will get another game like yesterday but both to score in this one should be good play again. Guardiola always with some surprises, this time De Bruyne finished on the bench. Granted he isn't in some great form but I still think he is their best creative force.
