Steven Gerrard says Liverpool have plenty of soul searching to do after the Reds were dismantled b y Real Madrid 5-2.
Hopes were high at a rocking Anfield for their Champions League last 16 first leg tie, and racing into a 2-0 lead certainly fed into the hype. But five unanswered goals by the kings of European football saw Jurgen Klopp's men smashed by full-time and leaves them needing to pull off one of their best performance of all time on the continent to progress.
Scoring a minimum of three goals more than Los Blancos in Madrid to try and remain in the UCL will be a tall order in three weeks time. Speaking on BT Sport, the former Rangers manager said that Liverpool were outclassed by a side who were levels above them. He said: "I think any team and any club who concedes five goal, there has to be an inquest into why how. I am sure Jurgen will do that but they will be a btt raw after that defeat. Liverpool don't concede five goals at Anfield. If they do, it is very rare.
