The back page of the Daily Express also focuses on Liverpool's 'reserves' losing 1-0 to Real Madrid, saying: "Reds reserves battle in the Bernabeu as Rodgers is left to rue resting big guns."

The Guardian's Sid Lowe writes: , external"This is Europe's top competition and the Bernabéu arguably its grandest arena, but Rodgers had chosen what looked more like a Capital One Cup team."

"Liverpool might easily have been Levante. It was attack against a well-manned defence," writes Pete Jenson in the Independent., external "Madrid found themselves in La Liga mode, trying to find a way through the massed ranks while making sure they were not picked off on the counter-attack - which, with Lazar Markovic playing instead of Raheem Sterling, never looked likely."

"Bren bashed after resting star men," says The Sun after Liverpool's 1-0 loss against Real Madrid. But The Mirror is a little kinder on the Liverpool boss, saying: "Weakened but brave Reds ensure Brendan Rodgers escapes an onslaught."

Spanish TV presenter and former Liverpool player Michael Robinson on Twitter: "Incredible starting 11 for Liverpool. It's one thing to give players rest and another to not respect the contest. I think Rodgers has made a mistake. Thousands of Liverpool fans have come to the Bernabeu to see five key players on the bench. Rodgers has raised the white flag of surrender before the game has started."

Daily Telegraph football correspondent Henry Winter on BBC Radio 5 live: "We can spin it either way and say that people like Kolo Toure and Alberto Moreno played well, but Liverpool leave here having slipped another place down the table and they have got to win their next two games. This was not the Liverpool way tonight."
