Liverpool's remaining hope of silverware this season was this evening ended after being knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid.
Karim Benzema's second half strike ended any hopes of a dramatic late turnaround by the Reds and clinched a 6-2 aggregate win for the reigning European champions.
Liverpool created few major opportunities during the 90 minutes at the Bernabeu and could have no complaints about exiting the competition after failing to truly test Thibaut Courtois.
