Another famous European night at Anfield was on the cards on Tuesday night, until it wasn't.
Two goals to the good inside a quarter of an hour, Liverpool were in dreamland against the reigning champions of the competition. Real Madrid's 14th European Cup of course came at the Reds' expense, and there was further pain caused by the Spanish giants after their remarkable comeback staged earlier this week.
Reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League will now prove a tall order for Jurgen Klopp's side, whose attention will turn back to domestic action this weekend with a trip to Crystal Palace on the agenda. Dissecting Tuesday's disappointment while previewing Saturday's contest in the capital, four supporters have shared their views as part of a weekly ECHO fan column.
