Real Madrid vs Liverpool 3-1 Champions League Quarterfinal
April 6, 2021. Real Madrid vs Liverpool 3-1 Champions League Quarterfinal. Zidane side are the victors here but the Frenchman does not look wholly satisfied.
But he should be with Vinicius Junior. The striker has turned in one of his best games in a Real Madrid shirt, to compensate for the loss of Sergio Ramos, and he has helped blow Liverpool away.
Jurgen Klopp’s side too have a vital away goal, but the odds, as they are for Dortmund, are stacked against them now.
Real Madrid played without Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane tonight, but missing central defenders has been a theme for Liverpool all season.
For the openning Madrid goal, a great ball from Kroos finds Vinicius and, unlike against Atalanta, he buries it with confidence. Deserved lead.
Vinicius, who has been Madrid’s biggest threat so far down the left, has a chance on goal.

2-0! Real Madrid vs Liverpool Champions League Quarterfinal
Real Madrid are two up! Asensio capitalises on a Liverpool error and cheekily dinks it over Alisson. A brilliant finish from the Spaniard. Madrid are in cruise control here.
Alexander-Arnold tried to cut out Kroos’ pass which was heading for Vinicius but it ends up being a perfect assist for Asensio. The Mallorcan then has the presence of mind to lift it over the keeper and then smash home from inches out.
Minute 44 – Madrid almost make it three
Another defensive error from Liverpool so nearly proves costly. Asensio tries to take advantage but drags the shot well wide.
Minute 42 – Keita is replaced by Thiago
An injury to Naby Keita sees former Barcelona midfielder Thiago take his place.
That was a slow-burning horror movie for Liverpool. They were impotent in attack and, after a solid start, a bag of nerves in defence. Real Madrid were good without being exceptional, and unpicked Liverpool with a series of long passes from Toni Kroos. Kroos’ quarterbackeryled to both goals, scored by Vinicius Junior and Marco Asensio, and it would have been worse but for a very good save by Alisson just before the break.

GOAL! Real Madrid 2-1 Liverpool (Salah 51)
Mo Salah gets a precious away goal!
In all fairness, the genesis of Liverpool’s response comes from Diogo Jota, who sees his attempt from a dozen or so yards out on the left blocked. But the ball ricochets into the path of the supporting Mohamed Salah, and he is able to wrestle it under control to push past Thibaut Courtois.
Real Madrid vs Liverpool 3-1 Champions League Quarterfinal
It’s a brace for Vinicius Junior!
Madrid have responded admirably since Salah struck for Liverpool and they restore a two-goal lead with a lovely finish now. Modric lays on the assist, a square pass through a relatively crowded box and the striker sweeps it past Alisson from close to the penalty spot.
It’s been a long night for the Reds in Spain.

United ON THE BRINK of Champions League exit thanks to Onana
3-3 draw between Manchester United and Galatasaray in UEFA Champions League – Group A. They also analyze the performance of goalkeeper Andre Onana and the chances of Erik ten Hag’s side of advancing to the knockout stages.
Not saying Onana is done at Utd but surely ETH needs to give the back up a chance at this point. Even DDG needed to come out of the team briefly when he first came to the club. Gives him a chance to build his confidence away from the spot light. But TBH DDG was never this bad to begin with sm
Throwing away leads, basic mistakes and tonight, despite Onana performing better recently we might as well have had Jonny Evans in goal.
7 Biggest Manchester United Flops Of All Time
As much as I like eth, he caused our exit by bringing in a keeper not too familiar with EPL. In fact he should not have sent David away the way he did. He should have kept him and the duo should have competed. Onana errors contributed a lot to the exit
Tactically, I think ETH did pretty much everything correctly. Outside of Magelof not being good enough in general, the only criticism I can offer is that Mainoo should’ve come on for McGhost after he scored his goal. Solidify that midfield and shut everything down.
The keeper had a bad game and had a lot already this season which isn’t great but let’s hope he gets better as the season goes cause I remember when De Gea first came to United and he was not great as well but he matured, got stronger and became a great goalkeeper. But ETH needs to replace Onana for the next game and let him know that he needs to step it up.
David de Gea short-term fix Manchester United
As a United fan I have to disagree with the assessment of the performance. There was no control, no maturity. United give the ball away far too easily for this level. When you have less possession than a Sean Dyche team and then get 43% against Galatasaray, you’re not the technical side the manager wants to build. I feel sorry for Onana, he’s been doing much better recently. The mistakes he’s making are so basic it speaks to a mental problem. My hope is that Onana will feel much more comfortable when we develop into the team Ten Hag wants. Need to bring in ball-playing CBs and controller midfielders in the next two windows. Then we’ll see the real picture.
I honestly hope we finish bottom of the group so they can just focus on the domestic front. This team is poor to say the least and we will get knocked out in the second round even if we scale through by some miracle. So best not to, as for “O na na, whats my name” Don called it! He needs to reassess his priorities as a goalkeeper… now I’m ranting on YouTube, darn you ManUtd!

David de Gea short-term fix Manchester United
Can David de Gea be the short-term fix Manchester United needs? | If I was him I wouldn’t go back there after the way he was disrespected .. I can’t believe the management could be this bold and daft after the treatment they gave that guy.
Don’t do it!!! They decided you weren’t good enough and decided to get onana. Even if you took a pay cut, it would of been to facilitate onana. That’s tells you what you need to know
Of course teams have offered him contacts and he’s chosen to say no. He’s said very clearly he’ll go to club fighting to win things and unfortunately all the top clubs have keepers. He might come back when the right club wants him.
Can Man United make it out of UCL Group A?
Wonder if Man U is telling Onana to skip the African cup due to his recent poor performances. Otherwise they’re telling him his spot is at risk
United have no transfer strategy so this potential move makes 100% sense. Afterall they bought Mason Mount for 50 million to warm the bench.
It will be a mess and destabilising if we bring him back.. Shoking how he was treated after 12 years. And we bought a young goalkeeper, surely he gets a chance and we still have Heaton I believe.. What’s the point anymore? 😆 We’re a joke!
Copenhagen Post-Match Onana and Maguire heroes after dramatic win
De Gea deserved better treatment. He should plain down reject any offer or entertain the offer just to reject it. The Man Utd negotiators could not negotiate their way out of a brown paper bag, absolutely disgrace to their profession.
If they bring him back prep for a new manager. Cause ten hag is clearly incompetent.
And he’s been offered but he won’t take less than what he is worth, he’s a golden glove winner and a legend 🤷🏽. Onana can’t even distribute this season and can’t stop a beach ball.
Tottenham Topping the Premier League table
It’s a strange one this because de Gea priced himself out of a job. He wanted a contract worth more than than the £375k a week he was already getting, and Man United originally agreed to one, and then changed their mind, and I don’t blame them. He’s worth $75 million thanks to MUFC.
He was the World’s richest goalkeeper last season, and while he is a great goalkeeper, most pundits would name either Nuer or the recently retired Buffon as the greatest goalkeeper of the last 15 years, and most pundits would put the Brazilian duo Ederson and Becker as the best keepers in the Prem right now. What I’m saying is that at $75 million net worth de Gea could have afforded to be philosophical about it all and perhaps taken a pay cut.

Eriksen great performance in Man Utd UCL win!
Christian Eriksen joins Peter Schmeichel for a post-game interview after a Man of the Match performance after Manchester United’s 1-0 win over Copenhagen. Eriksen came in as a second-half substitute and assisted Harry Maguire’s game-winning goal.
Still can’t believe Eriksen plays for Man United, especially after we all know what happened to him. I still remember that day and honestly thought we’d lost him. So happy to see him around and still playing.
Eriksen reveals secrets on Man Utd New Star Rasmus Hojland
Glad to see Eriksen get his praise. He was always my favorite player at Spurs. Lack of competition in the squad forced him to regress a bit in his career. Barcelona/Real Madrid were interested at him at a time. Then he went to the demon Conte, who doesn’t know how to handle flair footballers. And of course after his health situation, happy he got to perform at Brentford, and for Ten Haag with his creative flair. Though now Man Utd have both Ambrabat, and Casemiro, should make him perform much better in a free role! Or at least backup to Bruno.
What Really Happened to Jadon Sancho and Ten Hag?
The only reason i dont see Eriksen starting is because it doesn’t always look like he can play a full match, hence ETH has to be wise regarding when he should put Eriksen in the game. But everytime he’s subbed on, the entire team breaths easier and gains that extra sense of control. A game that was otherwise frantic, uncoordinated, improvised and scrappy, was all turned around when Eriksen came on the pitch. Gosh I wish we could see more to him.
Tottenham Topping the Premier League table
The midfield in the Derby has to be him, Brumo and Amrabat.. whenever Eriksen plays deeper, it releases Bruno.. this experiment of Bruno playing as a deep playmaker and Mctominey as a 10/Second Striker has clearly failed.
We know Eriksen can’t play 90 minutes, but ETH should try to start with him and find a comfortable lead before subbing him off. I don’t remember Bruno having any influence on the game, or in previous games, he is so panicked in possession unlike Mr.Cool here. I would swap them around and see what happens.
