Real Madrid have taken a huge step in the first leg of their UEFA champions league tie against as they cruise to a 3-1 victory over Liverpool and with the English side needing to produce another huge European display at Anfield if they are to reach the last four of the Champions League.
The Reds looked sloppy throughout an encounter full of entertainment in Spain against a Real side missing it’s first-choice centre-back pairing, but packed with impressive attacking talent.
Much of the damage was done in the first half, begun when Vinicius Junior took down a brilliant long-range pass from Toni Kroos on his
chest before firing the opener past Alisson.
Spanish international Marco Asensio doubled the lead, taking advantage of a poor header from Trent Alexander-Arnold to chip the ball over Alisson and then tap into an empty net.
Liverpool came out fighting after the break, pulling a goal back through Mohamed Salah’s close-range finish off the crossbar to spark their best 20-minute spell of the contest.
But they were stung when Vinicius Junior found the net via a first-time shot following a fine attacking move with 25 minutes to go.
It leaves them with a mountain to climb in the return leg at an empty Anfield on 14 April.
