Liverpool’s convincing exit at the hands of Real Madrid may prove the deciding factor in the race for Jude Bellingham.
That’s the view of BT Sport pundits Rio Ferdinand, Peter Crouch and Michael Owen, who all think the Reds could miss out on the generational talent. Jurgen Klopp’s side were dumped out of the Champions League on Wednesday night, losing 6-2 on aggregate to the European champions.
The majority of the damage was done in the first leg at Anfield where Los Blancos ran riot to take a three-goal lead back to the Spanish capital. And at the Bernabeu, any faint hopes of a miracle comeback never really materialised with Karim Benzema scoring the only goal in a routine 1-0 victory.
