Football - Champions League - Round of 16 First Leg - Liverpool v Real Madrid - Anfield, Liverpool, Britain - February 21, 2023 Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema celebrates scoring their fourth goal with Dani Carvajal REUTERSpix: Karim Benzema said Real Madrid needed time to get going but showed their true colours eventually as they thrashed Liverpool 5-2 at Anfield in the Champions League last 16 first leg on Tuesday.
“It’s a very important night for us, I want to dedicate this win to our honorary president, Amancio,“ Madrid captain Benzema told Movistar.“It was a beautiful game for everyone because we started a bit badly, we know Liverpool with their fans put on a lot of pressure, but after 15, 20 minutes, then we saw Real Madrid.”
Vinicius Junior, who netted the winner against Jurgen Klopp's side in the 2022 final, hit a brace, as did Benzema, while Eder Militao scored a header.“Two errors after 14 minutes, we need to do more -- what we did until the end.Darwin Nunez sent Liverpool ahead with a fine flicked finish and then Mohamed Salah netted the second for the hosts after an uncharacteristic error from Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
“It was a bit of bad luck to mess it up like that, I controlled it well and at first I wanted to pass it but I saw Salah stopped and so I said I’ll go to my right foot, but it bounced off my knee,“ Courtois told Movistar.Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson had kicked the ball away under pressure from Vinicius and the ball hit the Brazilian and flew into the net to level the score at 2-2.
