Quarter-finals here we come!!!!

Real Madrid really need to reformat after a poor display at Anfield against Liverpool fc. They offered little if not no threat to Liverpool and suffered a 4-0 mauling. Their misery began even before the game at Anfield began due to their 0-1 loss at home two weeks ago. Soon the game was underway. It did not take long for Liverpool to score with Real Madrid's poor defencing, Torres scoring. Gerrard was starting his 100th European game. When Abeloa chested down a high ball inside Madrid's penalty box, former Manchester United man Gabriel Heinze handled the ball with his hand. The referee did not hesitate to give a penalty and yellow carded Heinze. Gerrard, who is always cool as a cucumber, stepped up and slotted home the penalty by sending Casillas the wrong way. Liverpool went into the break with a 2-0 lead.

After 15 minutes in the company of their managers, the players came back out for the second half. Liverpool started off from where they left off and were on the attack immediately. Good foot work from Babel, who was causing a tremendous amount of trouble to the team in white's defenders, brought him clear of the real madrid defence. He then crossed it in for Gerrard who took it beautifully on the half volley and putting the third goal past the Spanish giants, 3-0! The look on the Real Madrid player's faces summed up their weak performance, but Liverpool were not done yet. Gerrard was the substituted out for the bright youth Spearings and Alonso came off for Dossena. Things started to get better for Real Madrid now attacking mostly through substitute Van Da Vaart. Torres had a good chance late on and did well to force a save out of Inker Casillas. Torres was then taken off with the game at Old Trafford in mind. A low cross from Masherano to Dossena set up the fourth and final goal. The only set back in this game was that Masherano recieved a yellow card that will make him miss out on the first leg of the quarter-finals. This game, though, will forever stay in the minds of the world of football as a game in which 5 time champions Liverpool inflicted a defeat so painful and humiliating to Europe's most successful club that even a Liverpool fan could feel for them.
