Liverpool will be made to stew on their Champions League exit for the next couple of weeks as the international break approaches on the back of a weekend without a game.
A 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid in the Spanish capital on Wednesday night saw the current holders of the European Cup through with a 6-2 aggregate scoreline against the Reds, equalling their worst-ever two-legged result on the continent, set against Spartak Moscow in the 1992-93 campaign. The 7-3 loss to Ajax in 1966 also sits alongside those unwanted results.
Next up for the Reds is a visit to the Etihad as they aim to secure a first Premier League win away to Manchester City since 2015. Fulham's involvement in the FA Cup at Manchester United means there is no match this weekend to try and get that Madrid loss - or last week's defeat to Bournemouth - out of their system quickly.
