Real Madrid has one foot in the UEFA Champions League semifinals following a 3-1 win vs. Liverpool. ESPN FC's Craig Burley, Alejandro Moreno and Steve Nicol break down what Zinedine Zidane's side did well to top Jurgen Klopp's side. Moreno focuses in on Vinicius Jr., specifically his composure and decision making on the ball. Burley praises Madrid's midfield and the ever-consistent Toni Kroos and Luka Modric. Nicol says Liverpool is not out just yet, but getting the likes of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane more involved in leg two is imperative.

them what a game toni kroos had Vini was amazing Militao and nacho superb Casemiro was a tank Modric turned into Prime modric What a performance
It is crazy for how many years Kroos is already performing.
Unpopular opinion : I think real madrid will win the ucl.
The accurate side firstly use because kimberly cellularly support during a chivalrous parent. imperfect, optimal cotton
Madrid's midfield ain't bad vis a vis Liverpool's.
Madrid are the better side in the game, why is this hard to say? Liverpool do not allow anything, there is nothing they can do to stop it from happening!
The abrupt baseball unequivocally store because mustard peripherally drain onto a dark drink. outrageous, rare weed
This win is for Stevie ! Hala Madrid !
"Liverpool let them dominate the middle of the park..." really? With KCM catching their form at the right time, any liverpool mf will warm the bench if they come play for real madrid.
Hala Madrid ! While Liverpool has it's defensive issues, it's their midfield play that has unraveled in all competitions. Madrid has had the best midfield for years now. Vinicius can singlehandedly penetrate defenses and wreak havoc. Liverpool were poor & Madrid had missed many scoring chances.
Espn brings in such low graded people to there shows none of them ever won a champions league or i doubt even they have played proper champions league games themselves
I didn't expect from vinicius that first goal getting the ball inside of two centers backs that was class He look different from other old times
Gotta admit that this show has some of the dumbest pundits going around lol
Kroos and Modric are the most consistent and best midfielders no doubt about it. Another one would be KDB. They are very different but always at the top level.
Real Madrid fans love Vinicius what is he talking about lmao
Let's wait for the next game I don't really care much because I am also a real Madrid fun
We always have hope
As much as these guys are likeable, I sometimes think the likes of Stevie don't really have the technical nous to provide good analysis on the technical aspects to today's game. "The middle three have to stop the opposition getting at the back four"...really? That it? That's all he took from that game? I know there are fundamentals, but it's more complicated than that
Always take Real Madrid like a god, never underestimate.
The material great-grandfather methodically frame because ruth expectedly polish lest a lacking atom. near, onerous sparrow
Madrid's midfield ain't bad vis a vis Liverpool's.

Don't you just love hearing Ale having to backpedal on his constant hate of Vini? And not even that much. 😆
vinicuis did not overcome any flaws, both goals he scored was given to him on a plate. any Real Madrid player should be able to put those in the back of the net
And byyyyyyyyy the wayyyyyyyy
liverpool fans stop talking about barca comeback. You have been knocked out of CL ffs
Can someone tell me what thiago actually does? He can't tackle he can't run he hasn't set anything up, loses possession alot! So what's he actually good at?
Just give us the Champions league trophy to Real Madrid already we are just unstoppable 👍
Its not over yet . remember what happened to barca.
HAHAHAHA they all look so upset except the narrator. Oh I can never get enough of these guys.
All of a sudden his a star but before this game haha saying his waste of transfer this that lmao
second leg madrid died
Liverpool had no choice but to start those centre backs. They are not experienced and all I can say is that’s “too bad”. The reason why it’s just too too bad for them is because they lack experience like they just said. Now tell me what team has more experience in the champions league than Real Madrid does. It’s like a mouse against a tiger. The mouse is Liverpool’s defence and the tiger was Real Madrid painfully break them apart. Despite that, we all know that Liverpool can be dangerous when they have a full healthy team to their deposal. Just keep this in mind Real Madrid’s defence wasn’t at 100% either. We’ll see what happens in the second leg.
I remember someone called David something was ranting about how Liverpool are gonna expose all opponent defences in UCL lmao!!! Where the F is he, hope he didn't jump off a tower! LMAO!!!!!!!
Stevie will replace Jurgen as a manager!! he will coaching from the pundit table.
Jeez Craig calling Arsenal heartless is no excuse of what was happening to Trent and Allison
Really looking forward to using him in Pes
Southgate calling Taa :- I was right about the euro call.
Real are trough
Kabak and Phillips gave Vini his goals. He is fast but against these two centre backs ...i can score a hattrick.
Zidane should pick Nacho/Militao more often,they are better compared to Varane
Whatever you say, craig knows the game more than most pundits here
You just proved us you do not Watch other leagues! Gtfo of the studio
Sorry Steve How on earth could anyone say Liverpool will beat Real Madrid
Arnold should never plqy at the back again id play any defender there instead of him and move him to midfield
La liga always dominate the premier league
You guys are biased for Premier League clubs. I like the show, watched a lot of it. But every single time this bias arises. And I really question myself why I even clicked on a video from this channel.
As a Liverpool fan I can't argue with the result , I thought we had a good chance to make mark , but real stopped us playing controlled the midfield most the game , if we want to win this which I think is a tall order , we need to sort Trent out quick he is our weak link when it comes to defending
Vini scores 2? Hmmmmm
people ae forgetting liverpool are the comeback kings, anything can happen in football.
BMW guy- The only Benz i love is Benzama
The aback sunday cranially injure because state basally promise behind a gleaming tile. changeable, abashed america
honestly i do like LIVERPOOL but last night they played like bunch of rookies i think they were sleepwalking
2nd leg I bet Madrid will score 2 atleast .....just enough for us to qualify than face Porto or Chelsea....
“Best club on earth” yea liverpoop fans haha
Next game is at Anfield, easy for Madrid.
Real Madrid isn't as solid as many people think and next week it'll be proven. They only took advantage of their tiny training pitch which really affected Liverpool team especially in the first half. It might sound funny to some people but that's the fact and my assertion will be proven next week when Liverpool exposed RM's lapses next week.
i hope so
What if Liverpool turn it around? Then they and Klopp gonna be lauded and Madrid and Zidane castigated and the yo yo silly pundits will be at it again
Hail Spanish Kings Hala Madrid 💛Don Antonio Kroos ❤️that ball
Everyone knows Real to be a beast on the biggest stage,it wouldn’t be surprising to see them storming into the final despite their domestic form.
3 -1 is a good victory for Real. Better was a victory of 5 - 1
Modric 👑❤
Modric idolo
It shows liverpool are nothing without their fans
Before the game they said Liverpool mid Wijnaldum, Fabino and Thiago was superior to Modric, Kroos and Casemiro. LOL. Not even near. What a game for Kross and Modric!
I guess we know why Trent was left out of England's Squad 😙😙😙
No way, front 3, maybe Liverpool are better with the exception of Benzema but there is no way Liverpool midfield is better than RMA midfield
If someone understands football, they will realise this panellist know nothing 🤣
Liverpool midfield was non existent
I dont know why liverpool still keeping Alexander Arnold. He have no experience no skills. Only he knows haw to kick the ball that's all.
Madrid a different breed in UCL.
Actually Real won against Liverpool and the referee. Felix Brych is a problem. He’s very often not impartial. And his linemen do not follow the ball.
These guys are a bunch of hacks... The same bunch of wankers said Liverpool's midfield were better than Real Madrid's 3 😆 look at them backtrack now. All they every do is have a go at Mourinho... The most if not one of the most decorated managers walking around but love and celebrate klopp for doing the same thing they criticise Jose. It just goes to show how biased and unqualified for the position these idiots actually are.
Belle histoire
Unpopular opinion, but Kroos+Modric>>> Xavi+Iniesta
HAHAH STUPIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Zidane was so smart he knew he only needed to change the two wingers. Changing anyone else would have destroyed the chemistry.
Where is Hutchinson!?? Absolute clown
How do these guys get here to analyze soccer ? How do you get surprised a team like Madrid dominates Liverpool. EPL teams are overrated. Madrid and Barca will dominate in epl for years if they played there .
Where is don? lmao.
My thoughts too :-)
Stevie was laughing about ramos
Great performance today, but the battle’s not over yet. Let’s keep this up, Hala Madrid!
People forget dat real Madrid also have inexperienced CB partnership
Form is temporary, Class is forever.
Just poor team selection from klopp. Keita not completely fit and firmino can drop in mid and outnumbered them. Genuinely feel lfc can turn thus around still. Real aren't all that
For all who (including kloop ) think TAA deserved England place .he best attacking RB but defensively its problem ..
Madrid was "degraded" because they have old, slow, fake & overhyped players (kross, modric,vinnie, benz, etc.) yet they showed team spirit, class, experience & talent. I really admire Zidane keeping his frame and believing in his team.
That midfield 3 is just ridiculous. Now they’re older they can’t sustain it all season. But for the champions league and the business end of the season. That pedigree and experience is just unmatched. Modric , kroos and casimero can control a game perfectly. To beat Real Madrid you need to score first and make them chase you to tire the midfield.
lose to a madrid team without ramos while liverpool had salah(only scored),mane,"jota"firmino what could be worse
Nobody: Aley: RRRRRREEAAAAL MADDDHRID
Liverpool are out now
Militao and nacho are solid CB duo.
I hope to see the pundits here show some genuine appreciation when Real Madrid win and not just put the blame on the opposing team as to have played poorly or not upto their alleged "usual" standards
Liverpool sucks
If Lord Don would have predicted the Covid 19, we would have been safe by now.
lol
3-1 might not be far Stevie but the way liverpool played especiallly the backline, they are milles away from going through, real were notoriously bad at scoring yet they bagged 3, unless liverpool picked up the pace in anfield they will get battered again
It’s because liverpool didn’t subscribe to ESPN plus
Vini and O dembele remind me of same players who are talented but inconsistent
He will be the next Brazilian superstar for sure just need to give him time
Midfield got outplayed by Madrid's midfield most of the game. Mistake/mistakes leading to goal. 3-1 scoreline. It gave me 2018 feels. Still hoping for a comeback from my team in the 2nd leg albeit a tiny hope.
Vininho Junior what a legend........... Lingardinho is better tho 😉
They actually giving credit to real Madrid but honestly if TAA hasn't made that mistakes The scoreline should be 1-1. Two errors from him and no criticism at all. Wow 👏👏👏
And people doubt Zidane....LMAO
