A furious Jamie Carragher has torn Liverpool's short-lived resurgence to shreds and called out Virgil van Dijk following the Reds' disastrous 5-2 defeat at home by Real Madrid.
Jurgen Klopp's side gave up a two-goal lead in their Champions League round-of-16 first leg on Tuesday, as Real scored five unanswered goals at a stunned Anfield to condemn Liverpool to another humiliating result this season. The loss came after two successive wins for the Reds, a confidence-boosting Merseyside derby victory over rivals Everton and a win which ended Newcastle's long-standing unbeaten record at home.
But those Premier League wins didn't convince Carragher that his former team were back to their usual selves. After watching Carlo Ancelotti's men annihilate Liverpool through goals from Vinicius Junior, Karim Benzema and Eder Militao, the Reds legend ranted for more than two minutes about Klopp and Co.'s failings on the night and during what's been a wretched 2022-23 campaign.
