Jurgen Klopp may well be sick of the sight of Real Madrid following Liverpool’s humbling exit in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Liverpool were comfortably dispatched 1-0 by Carlo Ancelotti’s side, who progressed to the quarter-finals 6-2 on aggregate. The away side had their chances in Madrid, but Karim Benzema’s tap-in ended up being the only goal of the game which makes Liverpool’s pursuit of a top-four finish all the more important.
Klopp knew all too well about the strengths of the side he was facing in the last 16, having been beaten by them in last year’s final. And his and Liverpool’s history with Madrid goes even further than that.
