Eder Militao has warned his Real Madrid team-mates that their Champions League round of 16 tie with Liverpool ain’t over till the fat lady sings.
The Spanish giants thrashed Jurgen Klopp’s men 5-2 in the first leg at Anfield with two goals each from Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema cushioning Militao’s strike. But despite their three-goal lead, Militao insists he and his pals will be taking nothing for granted against a side who have proved time and again in Europe and at home that they can score goals for fun and produce heroic comebacks when they need to.
In 2005, of course, Liverpool won the Champions League final on penalties against AC Milan after trailing 3-0 at half-time. And perhaps more pertinently, they beat Barcelona in the 2020 semi-finals by winning the second leg 4-0 after losing 3-0 in the first leg.
