Liverpool were left to rue a lacklustre performance as they were handed a 3-1 defeat at Real Madrid, and fans were disappointed with the effort and lack of quality on show.
Real Madrid 3-1 Liverpool
April 6, 2021
Goals: Vinicius Jr 27’, 65, Asensio 36′; Salah 51′
The Reds were on Spanish soil for the first leg of their quarter-final tie, but they had some travel sickness to start having struggled to keep possession and assert themselves in the game.
And they paid the price for allowing Real to have the run of the game as Toni Kroos’ long ball was launched to the chest of Vinicius Jr who seized the chance.
Goals: Alzate 56′
The Reds were back at Anfield aiming to make it three wins on the spin the league for only the second time this season when Brighton came to town, but they would only taste defeat.
The first half was uneventful, to say the least, with neither team having landed a shot on target – with Liverpool dominating possession without any meaningful return.
And while the start of the second started in a similar fashion, it was the Seagulls who struck first after poor defending from the Reds paved the way for a fortuitous Steven Alzate goal.
For all of Liverpool’s possession, they could not muster anything to challenge the Brighton ‘keeper in what was an easy evening for the Brighton defence, derailing what had been a positive two results heading into the clash.

Liverpool finally ended their winless run in the league with a dominant 3-1 win at Tottenham, and fans were rightly delighted to see three points added to the tally.
Tottenham 1-3 Liverpool

Goals: Hojbjerg 49′; Firmino 45+4′, Alexander-Arnold 47′, Mane 65′
The Reds started the night in the capital in desperate need of goals and a win and were dealt with a late injury blow to Fabinho for good measure.
A dramatic start saw Sadio Mane miss a glorious chance before Heung-min Son had his goal ruled offside by VAR, where the half then saw Liverpool dominate possession.
And after nearly 500 league minutes without a goal, Roberto Firmino would end the drought from close range to hand Jurgen Klopp‘s side the lead on the cusp of the interval.
