‘Real Madrid will win 100% win the Champions League’ – Fans react to Los Blancos masterclass against Liverpool
Real Madrid handed Liverpool one of their biggest European losses as they fell 5-2 in the Champions League Round of 16 first leg on Tuesday.
The Reds took a two goal lead within 14 minutes before Los Blancos staged their incredible comeback thanks to braces from Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema as well as Eder Militao’s second half effort.
Football fans have taken to social media to react to what some did not expect to see, while for others it was simply Carlo Ancelotti doing what has become a hallmark of their recent success in the European elite competition.
Absolutely Jurgen Klopp must have done a wrong decision on Mane.

Absolutely insane how the Champions League is 95% of Real Madrid's essence, the competition they absolutely boss, yet their president is trying to abolish nights like this to instead have his 'Super League' in league form and not knockout style.

I don’t think there’s a single player who encapsulated Real Madrid’s turnaround quite like Eduardo Camavinga.
Had a shaky start but grew into the game. Composed on the ball, assured in his ground duels, made some vital tackles outside the box…another great CL performance. pic.twitter.com/Qp3DgNatcO

The bigger the European night, the bigger the opponent, the more swagger this Real Madrid team plays with. It is as if the chip on their shoulder grows bigger.
They want to prove a point.
Deficits don’t frazzle them, instead it motivates.
Puro Madridismo – love this team.

Real Madrid have a very devastating counter attack conversion rate. In your best interest, do not play a fast paced end-to-end game against them, you will cry!
I mean, their efficiency in basic attack procedure is 2nd to none.
Liverpool can now focus on conference league spot 😭— Josh Sumoski 🎙️ (@Joshsumoski) February 22, 2023
If there is one thing you remember Mourinho for, it is the signing of Luka Modric. More than 10 years later, Real Madrid are still reaping the benefits of that decision. #HalaMadrid pic.twitter.com/N62mcJa4m9

The quality of football exhibited by Real Madrid tonight was of the highest order. The gulf was so obvious.
Anyway whoever tells you luck isn't part of football doesn't know the game that well. You need it to survive.— Collins Atta Poku (@PapaPoku) February 21, 2023
Nahhhhh can we talk about how Liverpool fans tried to set off fireworks at 2am outside Madrids hotel last night just for Real Madrid to set off fireworks on the Anfield lmaooooooo

Most teams fumble after 2-0 away from home but not Real Madrid. Not one time did their heads go down in disbelief. Ultimate mentality monsters. They are unbelievable man

The result made it the seventh game Liverpool have failed to defeat the Spanish giants in the Champions League and will have a mountain to climb ahead of the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu on March 15.
