Wirtz on the left was everything I thought it'd be when he signed.

Created the most chances, completed all of his dribbles and put in a serious graft out of possession.

5 chances created from Florian Wirtz tonight - more than any player in the match.

16 chances created in his first 4 Champions League games for Liverpool - the most any #LFC player has created over a run of 4 Champions League apps on Opta's records.

I thought he was exceptional tonight. But I also think you saw where he can still improve. Will be frightening when he’s properly settled.

Very few teams muster 2.5 non-penalty xG and nine shots on target against Real Madrid.

Liverpool just did.

Good to see the referee book Alonso for his views on personal taxation there at the end.

I haven’t been one who thought Flo was doing badly anyway but I thought he was exceptional tonight.

Can we please give Dom Szoboszlai one of those Chelsea contracts? I'll genuinely fall to pieces if he ever leaves #lfc

It's great. Bradley has just consummately booted Vinicius Jr all fucking night. It's been a masterclass in kicking some ponce six foot in the air for 90 mins.

So in consecutive games against Real Madrid Conor Bradley has pocketed Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior. Monster.

Saturday was very good. Tonight was magnificent.

Two Spanish managers beaten within a few days. How are you fixed on Sunday, Liverpool?

Up the Reds.

No Wayne, that is not the kind of decision that VAR was brought in for. It’d have been a soft penalty, sure. But absolutely not some kind of travesty if the penalty had stood.

Florian Wirtz created five chances against Real Madrid in the first half.

He's the first Liverpool player to do that in any game this season. #UCL

Massive overkill Amazon Prime having four ex-player pundits for one match.

Referee defended well throughout there. Closing lanes. Bit of pressing. Always aware of what's over his left shoulder while on the half turn.

I dislike Bellingham enormously. I don't get why so many pundits are busting out the crusty sock every time he gets a kick?
I'm actually glad he went to Madrid because he fails the cunt test all ends up.

Big fan of Prime giving me the option of not having to listen to Alan Shearer.

Partly because so many formerly leftwing parties have turned to the right, there's a lot of confusion about what right and left mean in politics. I hope this helps:

The right defends economic power.

The left resists economic power.

This game showing the difference between a really great No6 and a truly elite one. Caicedo gives you everything Paulinha does off the ball but so much more on it.
