LIVERPOOL 4 – 0 Real Madrid (agg: 5–0)
(goals: Torres 16', Gerrard 28'(p) 47', Dossena 89')
Champions League, 1st knockout round - 2nd leg, 10/03/2009

Liverpool win against Real Madrid sent the team into the last eight. The team showed perfect performance and managed to beat the most storied club in Europe.
With this great performance they could score four goals which means the greatest defeat of Real Madrid in the knockout stage of CL History.
So the team-with-9-CL-champions is eliminated in the first round of the knockout stage... consecutive 5 times... This is shame...

But I don't want to write about the losing team because a Liverpool victory against Real is fantastic.
I hope the Reds' performance - fingers crossed - will be awarded with a CL Cup. But the way is very long to be sure in a final victory, but we can hope it.

About the match, it was a fully deserved victory because the Reds played but it seemed the Real came to Liverpool to eat in a good restaurant and they thought it was enough. But no. The Liverpool was the better and the Real does not deserve anything in Europe.

I admit that the first two goals was because the ref didn't wear glasses. But I think there would have been more goals if the Real hadn't been on the defensive. The second Gerrard goal was a fantastic hit... So he managed to go to the top of the 'Top scorers' table (together with Klose who was appearanced on a 7-1 win against Sporting (agg: 12-1...), and managed to score goal on his 100th Eurpean appearance..(congrats).

I was very happy when Torres scored because I knew that Real couldn't score twice. I already said how happy I was when Gerrard scored first and second time. But I have to say I was very surprised when Dossena scored, too. I always say that he is a very bad player because he can't kick the ball like a real good player. This goal might do him better and he'll performance well, but I don't think. But now this isn't the most important thing, because 'Pool will fight for the CL victory and we must support them.

The next match will be against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday 13:45(GMT).

Come on Reds, You'll Never Walk Alone
