Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard believes his old side suffered a 'reality check' in their drubbing at the hands of Real Madrid.
Despite getting off to the perfect start at Anfield, Jurgen Klopp’s side were left red faced as Real ran riot. Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah fired Liverpool into a 2-0 lead inside the opening 15 minutes.
However, braces from Vinicius Jnr and Karim Benzema plus a Eder Militao header turned the tie on its head. And Gerrard, speaking post-match, believes there is going to be a lot of soul-searching inside the Liverpool dressing room following the defeat.
