Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard said Jurgen Klopp’s side were “dominated and outclassed” as they lost 5-2 to Real Madrid in the Champions League.Klopp’s side raced into a two-goal lead through Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah, but were pegged back before half-time by Vinicius Junior’s double.Madrid seized the initiative after the restart and struck three more times through Eder Militao and a brace from Karim Benzema.The Spanish champions have all but booked their place in the quarter-finals as Liverpool would need to win by four clear goals in the return in Madrid.It is the first time Liverpool have conceded five goals at home in a Champions League tie and Gerrard said “there’s got to be an inquest”.
