Striker scores two goals and leaves meringues’ classification well underway
Playing at the Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium, Real Madrid took an important step to advance in the Champions League, by beating Liverpool 3-1. Vinícius Júnior was the executioner of the English. He scored two goals, one of which was a great goal and was voted the best player of the match. Asensio extended it to the owners of the house. On the Reds side, Salah declined. As there is a criterion for a goal scored outside, Liverpool advances in the event of a 2 to 0 victory. A 3 to 1 again, but favorable to the English, takes the place for extra time or penalty, if necessary. Three goals lead to Klopp’s team in the next phase.
The two defenses went on the pitch with a lack of experience, but it seems that only Real Madrid knew how to take advantage of that. The constant and primary errors of the defensive sector of the English team were decisive for the defeat away from home.
Next Wednesday, the 14th, the two teams will face each other again in the match of the round, in Anfield, to decide that they will be the first semifinalist of the competition.
