Min. 46THE SECOND PERIOD STARTS AT ALFREDO DI STÉFANO !!!

Min. 01The perfection exhibited by Real Madrid has reached such a point that the team led by Jurgen Klopp went into halftime without making a single shot in the first 45 minutes. Thibaut Courtois is hitherto unprecedented in the midst of the quarter-final tie of the best European club competition.

Min. 01Kabak's great game in the melee duels, drying Benzema on several occasions, has not been able to have continuity as soon as Real Madrid has planned a match to measure themselves in speed.

Min. 01REST IN VALDEBEBAS !! Felix Brych decrees the conclusion of the first act! Real Madrid takes the road to the changing rooms with a large income in favor in the tie thanks to goals from Vinícius Junior and Marco Asensio (2-0).

Min. 45One minute discount. We will go until 46 '.

Kabak does not understand Robertson and Asensio emerges, who cannot get the ball under the legs of an Alisson who came out desperate to clear the danger.

Min. 43First change in the ranks of Liverpool. Klopp removes Naby Keita from the field. Enter Thiago Alcántara.

Min. 41Klopp is so angry with his team that he is already preparing touch-ups. Thiago Alcántara is ready on the wing to enter the field.

Min 37GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL OF MARCO ASENSIO !!!! REAL MADRID 2-0 Liverpool. Marco Asensio increases the differences on the scoreboard !! What a mistake Liverpool made on defense! Another long ball from Kroos to Vinícius' run. Alexander-Arnold barely prevents it from reaching the Brazilian, clearing inward where there was nothing. He does not forgive the Balearic, who anticipates and stings before the departure of Alisson to make it 2-0.

Min. 35FACT. Sadio Mané (14), Diogo Jota (13) and Mo Salah (12) are the footballers of the 'red' team with the fewest actions with the ball. They are going unnoticed in the game.

Min. 34Recital by Toni Kroos with his long displacements into space. Liverpool cannot find a way to neutralize the German.

Min 33MARCO ASENSIO HIGH SHOT !! The Spaniard ends play after a corner kick with a shot that goes very high.

Min 33VINÍCIUUUUUUUUUUUS !!! Fueeeeeeeeeera !! The scorer of the contest crosses his shot excessively. Klopp's monumental anger with his pupils!

Min. 31BENZEMA ASKS PENALTY !! The Frenchman tames the ball with his chest and points it out, where Kabak crosses to snatch the leather. He ends up falling to the ground after colliding with the Turk. There is nothing for Brych.

Min. 31Half an hour of game at the Alfredo di Stéfano. Vinícius Junior's goal gives Real Madrid an advantage in the tie (1-0).

Min. 29FACT. Vinícius Júnior has become the first player born in 2000 or older to score in a Champions League tie.

Min. 28What a moment for Vinícius Junior to break the equality on the scoreboard! We have been highlighting the personality with which the Brazilian was performing tonight, trying at all times and stretching the team. Another start of his has removed the stickers from Liverpool's defense, unable to stop him.

Min. 28Toni Kroos is awarded the assist.

Min. 28GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL OF VINÍCIUS JUNIOR !!! REAL MADRID 1-0 Liverpool. VINÍCIUS OPENS THE CAN OF THE QUIZ! As we mentioned, the 'red' team is allowing Real Madrid to distribute the game and throw long to the offensive stilettos. With room to think, Kroos takes out of the joke a vertical ball that the Brazilian controls with his chest and that crosses before the exit of Alisson. What a great goal he has scored!

Min. 26Liverpool is too contemplative before the circulation of Real Madrid. He decides not to pressure and let his trio of midfielders play.

Min. 25BENZEEEEEEMA !!! What a match for Ozan Kabak! Casemiro forces Liverpool's loss by recovering a ball in his half of the field and throws the French forward long, which ends with a shot blocked by the Turkish central defender.

Min. 24After halfway through the first period in Valdebebas, Liverpool still have not managed to test Thibaut Courtois. You have not completed a single auction.

Min. 24FACT. The defeat against Atlético de Madrid in the round of 16 of the 2019/20 edition is the only Liverpool have suffered in their last seven away matches in the UEFA Champions League, reaping five victories (Genk, RB Salzburg, Ajax, Atalanta and RB Leipzig) and a draw (Midtjylland) in this period.

Min. 22Eder Militao falls to the ground to cut a ball filtered by Diogo Jota in the front of the area. Liverpool is pure dynamite when it appears in the last third of the field.

Min. 21Vinícius Junior is showing a lot of personality so far. The Brazilian sticks to the lime line to continually offer himself with the aim of stretching the team and demanding from Liverpool an effort from the physical. He tries constantly regardless of how complicated it is.

Min. 20Klopp does not stop handing out instructions from his technical area. The English team has taken a step back and is succumbing to the twists and turns of its rival.

Min. 19The merengue team begins to dominate control of the game. Increase your percentage of possession and recover quickly after loss.

Min. 18Kabak is measured in the race with Vinícius, subtracting the space after putting his body. The Turk's start is remarkable in terms of defensive actions.

Min. 17Between Lucas Vázquez and Marco Asensio they thwart a Liverpool attack. In the first instance, Curtis's man wins the duel against Sadio Mané to avoid the auction against Courtois and later the defensive help of the Balearic ends up recovering the ball against Diogo Jota.

Min. 16FACT. Real Madrid have reached the quarterfinals of the European Cup for the 36th time, more than any other team. His balance in these rounds is 29 wins and six losses.

Min. 11Kabak stops Karim Benzema, who tries to play with his back in the area to supply a teammate who joins from behind. The Turk has a good body, forcing the meringue to unload to one side.

Min. 11FACT. Real Madrid have not played a Champions League game without Raphael Varane or Sergio Ramos since December 2018 against CSKA Moscow (0-3 loss). It will be the first game without at least one of the two defenders in the Champions League since 2016.

Min. 09Without Sergio Ramos or Raphael Varane in defense, Casemiro adjusts his position to get closer to the centrals that Zidane lines up tonight. The Brazilian connects with both in the 'reds' constructions to tie Diogo Jota short.

Min 08There is no clear dominator of the party so far. Both teams succeed each other when it comes to appropriating possession.
