Right, that's a wrap for the evening here. Join us tomorrow night for more Champions League gold. Over and out.
Arsenal's result tonight was the first time in 102 games that an English side has failed to win when three goals up. Stat-tastic.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger talking to Sky Sports: "I was never completely sure that we were not in danger because all game you could see we didn't defend well.
"It's hugely disappointing. We have to win our next game and see if we have a chance of winning the group.
"I'm confident because one point should be enough but it's not done. Everybody is really down tonight."
Nick in London: The Arsenal players need to come forward and take responsibility for this evening. I see no reason in blaming Wenger. The short answer is the players threw the game away.
Graham Jack Thirkill:, external Arsenal will win at the weekend and all the fans will be calling Wenger a legend again
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "We had some bad luck, the first goal was offside but we had a lack of concentration and thought the game was won.
"Overall we were poor defensively from the first to the last minute. At 3-2 you have to secure yourself and we were not cautious enough. It was very poor defending.
"Am I angry or disappointed? Both."
Brendan Rodgers reveals that Liverpool are staying over in Madrid tonight. To Gran Via!
More from Henry Winter on Liverpool's team against Real Madrid: "Steven Gerrard will probably never get the chance to come to the Bernabeu again and he was sat on the bench for most of tonight.
"We can spin it either way and say that Kolo Toure and Alberto Moreno played well, but Liverpool leave here tonight having slipped another place down the table and they have got to win their next two games.
"This was not the Liverpool way tonight."
Rich in Hitchin: Arsenal have no spine, no guts and no brain. Wenger is out of touch and out of ideas. Has been for a long time. Not been good since Henry and Vieira left.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers: "I've got to manage a squad which has seven games in 21 days. I didn't rest players for next Saturday, it was a team who I thought could get a result, and we were unfortunate not to get a result. Against the best team in the world.
"It's easy to say that we may have done better with a different team but listen, we could have lost 5-0."

The Daily Telegraph's football correspondent Henry Winter has been reacting to Liverpool's team selection.
Was Brendan Rodgers vindicated by that selection tonight?
"You can't say that yet, it will all depend what happens against Chelsea on Saturday.
"Where we are at the moment is it's Tuesday night and Chelsea haven't even played yet."
Manchester United may have problems at centre-back, but what about Arsenal? United have an injury crisis there, Arsenal just don't have any.
Nacho Monreal does not look like a central defender at all.
Harry Partridge:, external Disappointing result, but not only can Arsenal still easily qualify, but topping the group isn't inconceivable!
David Thomas:, external Wenger didn't replace Vermaelen. Monreal not a centre back. Facts.
Should Liverpool still make it through? Two wins and they're in, but they have only scored against Ludogorets so far...
On the BBC Sport Facebook, external page we're asking you, were Liverpool right to rest Gerrard and co v Real Madrid?
Here's what you're saying:
Lee Warmington:, external Best performance so far all season......against the mighty Real Madrid.....same set up against Chelsea I say and we could walk away with at least a point
Liam Meredith:, external Liverpool played well???? Casillas had one very easy save to make, it was a case of Madrid team not turning up but they still done the job
Grant Lawson:, external Think that is a question for the 4,000 plus Liverpool fans to answer many who took time off work and paid for flights and hotels and will have spend a fair few quid
Real Madrid have won 10 successive Champions League home games; their longest run since December 1998.
Can they become the first team to retain the European Cup since AC Milan in 1990?
Dean in London: Perhaps Wenger will now realise that playing your reserve left back as centre back probably isn't good enough to win the Champions League.
Rohan in London: 3-0 up and they still mucked up!
James William Dingle:, external Arsenal are a joke. That is all.
Raymond Little:, external How much longer does Wenger get after another shocking Arsenal performance #cantdefend
In the 20:00 GMT kick-offs in the Championship, two second-half goals from Simon Cox saw Reading run out 3-0 winners at home to Rotherham, who have conceded six goals in their last two games. It was the same scoreline at the Macron Stadium, where Bolton showed their progress under manager Neil Lennon with a 3-0 win at home to Russell Slade's Cardiff.
In League One, Swindon were the winners against Preston, who continue to falter at the top of the table. Second-placed North End have lost more ground on Bristol City after back-to-back defeats.
