Liverpool failed to produce another famous European comeback and were condemned to Champions League elimination with a 1-0 defeat at Real Madrid.
The Reds improved from their 5-2 thrashing in the first leg at Anfield but were comfortably second best to Los Blancos at the Santiago Bernabeu. Alisson was by far the visitors' most impressive player on the night, making a string of brilliant saves, while Liverpool struggled to create any clear-cut opportunities for their attacking line-up to capitalise on.
Real Madrid scored a deserved goal to extinguish any hopes of a late Liverpool miracle as Karim Benzema tapped into an open net with just over 10 minutes remaining.
