Steve McManaman claimed Liverpool’s players will view their first leg against Real Madrid as a ‘horror show’ after the Reds collapsed from 2-0 up to concede five goals at Anfield.
The Liverpool legend was left stunned when Karim Benzema scored Real Madrid’s fifth goal of the last-16 tie, with the reigning European champions hitting the hosts on the break.
‘I think that sums it up, absolutely ripped apart,’ McManaman said.
‘They are caught again in the centre of the park, pounced upon, and when Benzema has got the ball in the position he found himself, he is the coolest man on the planet.
‘Have some of that, three people go one way and he just places it in. That is another one to the collection.’
