Liverpool were thrashed 5-2 by Real Madrid on Tuesday... but the result could have been a lot worse if it wasn't for a rule change.
Jurgen Klopp's side endured a nightmare evening at Anfield after being humbled by the reigning European champions once again. Liverpool are now on the verge of being knocked out of the Champions League for the fourth time in six seasons by Real.
The Reds established a two-goal lead on Merseyside thanks to Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah, but the visitors equalised before half-time thanks to a brace from Vinicius Junior. Liverpool were then dismantled by Carlo Ancelotti's side after the interval.
