In the group of death in the group of 16 clubs Real Madrid faced Liverpool away. And the Real Madrids fans were more nervous of the two, the main reason was even after winning nine champion league games , they have failed to reach the quarter finals in the past four years would this be the fifth time they would miss out.?
This time Liverpool would be fresh of their
ess in the first leg, which ended in a 1-0 win for the reds.
Liverpool were determined to settle the game soon, and in the first thirty minutes, Liverpool outran, out played, outscored and the first goal was scored by Fernando Torres in the 16 th minute. Stephen Gerrard scored the second goal with a penalty and he added a third in the28th and 47th minute then Dossena than added the fourth in the 88th minute. The liverpool team won the game with a 5-0 on aggregate.
There could well be more goals for Liverpool, but it was Iker Casillas who stopped many shots.
The penalty was questinable as the ball hit a Liverpool player on the body and then struck Gabriel Heinze on the arm without hisknowledge. Real Madrid players protested long and hard , but for no use.
The other point was that Xavi Alanso comitted a fowl , and a bookable offense to, but the yellow card was shown to Javier Mascherano for kicking the ball, and Alanso got away scott free. Mascherano now misse the quarter final first leg match.
In the end Real Madrid have now failed to reach the quarter finals for the fifth straight year , I am sure some heads will role in the club.
