'Just pass it lad!'- Jamie Carragher's angry reaction to Liverpool collapse captured in behind-the-scenes video

Jamie Carragher endured a rollercoaster of emotions during Liverpool's 5-2 defeat to Real Madrid.

Los Blancos came from two goals down before cruising to victory as they inflicted a heavy defeat on the Reds at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp's side stormed in front when Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah were on target in the first 15 minutes.

But Carlo Ancelotti's side, who claimed comeback scalps against Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City on course to their 14th crown last season, once again proved even when they're down they're never truly out. The six-time winners will have 90 minutes to the deficit when they travel to the Spanish capital in three weeks' time.

The former Liverpool defender continued his time as a pundit on CBS Sports' coverage of the Champions League, televised in America, alongside Thierry Henry and Micah Richards.

Carragher's range of emotions was similar to those of Liverpool fans all over the world as it went from elation to disbelief and frustration.

Nunez opened to scoring with a cheeky backheel past Thibaut Courtois which not only caught the Belgian shot-stopper by surprise but the ex-Red too. As he was tucking into his dinner, the Uruguayan netted his 12th of the season much to the delight of Carragher who pumped his fists in the air.

One soon became two in surprising circumstances. Dani Carvajal's passback was controlled by the Real Madrid number one but his loose second touch handed Salah a gift to become Liverpool's all-time leading European goalscorer.

The two-goal scoreline was never secure as Real Madrid surged forward looking for an avenue into the game and they got that through Vinicius Jr. He played a one-two with Karim Benzema before curling past Alisson Becker, prompting an explicit reaction from the 45-year-old: "'F***ing hell lads. How can he get the ball in the box like that?"

Not long after Real Madrid halved the deficit, they were level as the Liverpool goalkeeper's clearance cannoned off the attacker and over the 30-year-old. Carragher demanded: "Just pass it lad. Do the simple thing! Don't try to be clever."

Shortly after the interval, Eder Militao ghosted past the Reds' statute-like defence from the set-piece. Benzema got in on the act in the second-half, firstly when his effort deflected off Joe Gomez wrongfooting Alisson before they carved Klopp's side open with the Ballon d'Or winner leaving the former Roma shot-stopper in his wake and firing into the top corner.

Carragher as a result was stunned into silence, only speaking up with expletives that had to be bleeped out. However after the game, the defender - who made over 500 league appearances for the Reds - was animated in his criticism of the performance that saw the 14-time Champions League winners take a commanding lead into the second leg.
