He started the move in midfield, finding James Rodriguez, who lifted a perfect chipped pass for the Portuguese to meet it on the run and hook a brilliant finish beyond Simon Mignolet.The second goal arrived seven minutes later when Benzema sent Toni Kroos's long cross looping beyond Mignolet with a far-post header to leave Anfield silent.Liverpool's early vigour had evaporated and Real were in no mood to let them off lightly - but it was the sort of shambolic defending that has characterised the season for Rodgers's side that gave the visitors their third before the break.A posse of Liverpool players attempted to deal with a corner but Pepe won out and, with Mignolet floundering hopelessly, Benzema stabbed home from close range.Philippe Coutinho almost lifted the gloom with a fine effort that struck the post with Real keeper Iker Casillas beaten but it had been a chastening experience for Liverpool and their fans.Balotelli's replacement Adam Lallana at least helped his side raise some sort of gallop but it was still Real posing the threat, Mignolet blocking Ronaldo right in front of goal after another lacerating piece of attacking play.Pepe (Real Madrid) wins a free kick in the defensive half.Attempt missed. But Adrian is still on the way back so it was easy to finish that situation, I would say. Real Madrid (nikkitta) Esports scored 1.6 goals and conceded 0.6 in average. If he was in goal, would Liverpool have progressed? A much-changed Liverpool fight hard but slip to a 1-0 defeat away to Real Madrid in the Champions League. Ãlvaro Morata (Atlético de Madrid) left footed shot from the left side of the box to the bottom left corner. Assisted by Marcelo.Substitution, Liverpool. Holders Liverpool were knocked out of the Champions League with a dramatic extra-time defeat by Atletico Madrid in the last 16.A finely balanced second leg turned on a catastrophic blunder by goalkeeper Adrian.Jurgen Klopp's side - seeking to win the trophy for a seventh time - thought they had overturned Atletico's 1-0 advantage from the first leg when Roberto Firmino's first goal at Anfield this season at the start of the added 30 minutes gave them the lead in the tie.Georginio Wijnaldum's first-half header was full reward for Liverpool laying siege to the Atletico goal for much of the first 90 minutes.In the second half, Andrew Robertson was then inches away from a winner only for his header to crash against the woodwork.And yet, as the Kop sensed another memorable Champions League victory, Adrian - deputising for the injured Alisson - paid the price for a dreadful clearance as substitute Marcos Llorente pounced with a low finish to secure Atletico's crucial away goal.Llorente struck again with another composed finish in the 105th minute and with the spirit draining out of Liverpool and their supporters, former Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata adding insult to injury with a third in the dying seconds to send Atletico through to the last eight.This game was, in many respects, a tale of two goalkeepers.The magnificent Jan Oblak formed a formidable barrier for Atletico Madrid, his yellow shirt a colossal presence in his penalty area as he made nine saves and claimed countless crosses.In contrast, Liverpool's mammoth effort was fatally undermined by the hapless Adrian, who also made an error that contributed to their FA Cup fifth-round defeat by Chelsea.The Reds had finally established a measure of control through Firmino's goal, but once Adrian had hacked out a hopeless clearance and Llorente's shot beyond him into the net at the Kop end, Atletico were ruthless.Klopp looked and sounded suitably downcast last week when he announced his world-class Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson had suffered a hip injury, knowing he could make the difference to a Champions League tie that was always going to be decided on the finest of margins.And so it proved, Liverpool's morale and fighting spirit disappearing visibly after Adrian's mistake.Liverpool will still complete the formalities of their first Premier League title but they pride themselves on their status as European champions and this was a painful night.Atletico Madrid arrived at Anfield with the usual reminders of how the stadium's atmosphere has broken the nerve and resilience of even the elite teams in the Champions League - as Barcelona found out in last season's semi-finals.Diego Simeone and his players are made of sterner stuff than that.
