    Liam: I’d like to remind everyone that, no matter the score, this is largely the same Madrid team that pulled off comebacks against PSG and Manchester City in dramatic fashion. Write them off at your peril.

    Liverpool 2-1 Real Madrid

    Real Madrid are starting to click now, lovely football again. Luka Modric finds Rodrygo, who backheels it into the path of Federico Valverde but the Real midfielder lashes his shot over the bar.

    It was almost identical, Vinicius Jr again moves it onto his right foot. It is a good effort but well saved by Alisson.

    Luka Modric's corner goes past Nacho and all the way to Vinicius Jr at the other side of the box. Vinicius shoots, basically identical to his goal, and Alisson dives to his left to palm it away. Strong wrists.

    Real Madrid can’t defend but then we all also know from majority of this season that neither can Liverpool. This will finish about 5-4 to one of them at this rate.

    Well done, Darwin Nunez (again). Vinicius Jr lifts in a dangerous cross to Dani Carvajal and Nunez heads it behind just before it reaches the Real right-back.

    Soap? Green ice? Some kind of Bermuda triangle stuff going on anyway.

    What is going on in that Real Madrid penalty area? Eder Militao slips now, although he recovers in time to clear. Two Liverpool players have gone down around there too and let's not even get started on Thibaut Courtois...

    Real Madrid lose David Alaba to injury. The Austria defender was injured in that last move and Nacho replaces him.

    Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Jordan Henderson are wreaking havoc down that right-hand side and I have no idea how the ball has stayed out there. Real Madrid players are throwing themselves at the ball there on the goal line.

    Eintracht Frankfurt 0-0 Napoli

    Not quite got the same level of excitement here in Frankfurt compared to Liverpool. It was a pretty open start but things have settled down now with defences on top.

    Ramy: This two legged tie is far from being over. Real are Champions League experts and Liverpool can't keep that pace for 90 min.

    How isn't this 3-1?!

    The ball lands to Mohamed Salah in the box. He can't quite turn and get a shot away, the ball squirms away and Darwin Nunez has a shot blocked on the line by Eder Militao.

    Jonny: If anyone brought you a tea as weak as this Madrid side, you’d cut all ties with them as a friend!!

    Not a great game for the goalkeepers. Three shots on target, three goals.

    No player has scored more Champions League goals against Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool than Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr (four).

    Monaco's former Sevilla striker Wissam Ben Yedder is next on three.

    World class! Defenders all over Vinicius Jr, no space whatsoever but he just picks his spot and curls it into the far corner. Alisson had no chance what a response that is!

    Away goals isn't a thing in the Champions League anymore so we're basically back to 1-0 now.

    Vinicius (21 mins)

    Wow!

    We can't move for goals here and I am loving it.

    Vinicius Jr gets the ball on the corner of the area and curls a beauty past Brazil team-mate Alisson.
