LIVERPOOL, England—Holders Real Madrid produced a stunning comeback from two goals down to earn a devastating 5–2 victory at a shell-shocked Liverpool in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Tuesday, Feb. 21.
Two goals each from Vinicius Jr. and Karim Benzema turned what had looked like being an unpleasant evening for Real into a stylish romp that left Juergen Klopp’s side flat on the canvas and facing a monumental task to reach the quarter finals.
