Liverpool's last two changes were forwards when they were pushing for goals.

It says a lot that Joel Matip and James Milner are coming on now.

Joe Gomez, who has had a shocker, and captain Jordan Henderson are replaced.

Karim Benzema, 35, is the oldest player to score against Liverpool at Anfield in Europe, breaking Antonio di Natale's record in October 2012 for Udinese in the Europa League.

Adam: Momentum of last couple of games now completely gone. This team will now feel so small once again. Disastrous night for Liverpool.

Andrew: Liverpool are all over the place. Everyone in a red shirt is running in different directions.

We're reaching the stage where in five-a-side you have to ask the referee the score.

This is only the third time this century Liverpool have conceded five goals in a home game, also doing so in January 2007 (6-3 defeat to Arsenal) and October 2019 (5-5 draw with Arsenal).

I didn't know goalkeepers were allowed to make saves.

Fabinho's header from Trent Alexander-Arnold's corner is on target but straight at Thibaut Courtois.

You cannot make mistakes when there are world class players waiting to punish you.

Luka Modric finds Vinicius Jr who finds Karim Benzema, he sits Alisson down on the edge of the box and then has the ability and confidence to whip the ball into the top corner on his left foot. That is a magnificent goal from Real Madrid and Benzema, class all over the park.

Vinicius Jr and Karim Benzema have both scored twice tonight.

Another thing they have in common is scoring against Liverpool in a Champions League final.

No away team had ever scored four goals at Anfield in a European game.

No away team had ever scored five goals at Anfield in a European game.

Napoli are inches away from adding a third as Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa, on the floor, sweeps just wide of the far post.

Eintracht Frankfurt are up against it at 2-0 down but a third for Napoli and you would think that is tie over.

Mickey: You would think after the last Champions League season, people will stop writing the Real Madrid team off. They just do comebacks like no one.

Amrul: Liverpool got away with murder at the weekend. Newcastle even with 10 men created enough to win 2 matches... Not against the World and European Champions.

Real half-clear the corner and Stefan Bajcetic shoots well wide from 25 yards. The teenage Spaniard didn't get any curl onto it.

Lovely ball from Trent Alexander-Arnold and his opposite number Dani Carvajal puts the cross behind for a corner.

Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota replace Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez and Liverpool freshen their front line.

Antonio Rudiger has a crack from about 35 yards but it flies well wide.

Roberto Firmino is getting ready. But who will come off? If this was Football Manager I'd be bringing off a defender but that doesn't happen much in the actual world.

Cut me and I bleed Champions League. It never lets us down.
