Gago has been shown up in both legs. Not heard much of him before this tie, and don't think I'll hear much of him after.

Liverpool were sensational, sublime, the superlatives are endless. Gerrard was phenomenal, and so again, was Mascherano. Such a lift for Saturday.

What must the rest of Europe (except Bayern Munich!) think after seeing that scoreline.

Mr Alex

The Spercial One is coming to get you.

Just watched the highlights, it wasn't a pen, but I thought he went down far too easily for the 1st goal, I've seen fouls given for that but for an apparent strong centre back to go down because somebody's hand is on their shoulder is pretty stupid really, and I think it was right that it stood.

Pretty sure they were in it the other year

If qualifying counts, then yeah, they were, but that's like saying England were at Euro 2008

Pretty academic now going through the first two goals. Liverpool could have scored more if they wanted. It was always going to be a liverpool victory. Madrid were very poor and just didn't rise to the occasion and to be fair, liverpool were on the best form they've shown for quite some time.

You mean they didn't want to???

Taking of Gerrard and Torres off and coasting towards the second half somewhat suggests they could have tried harder.

Great performance by Liverpool, Gerrard and Torres running riot, maybe we and these big european teams should ask the likes of West Ham, Fulham, Manchester City and Stoke how to get a result at Anfield.

Pretty sure you are wrong, they have never played in the Champions League.

Anyway, borrow that Robben, you snidey, odious turd.

f*ck me, Real were poor, but take nothing away from liverpool, they were sensational.

Platini must be feeling suicidal about now.

Hopefully, as that would relinquish us from another odious turd.

Didn't see much of it, but amazing result. Whether it's a good bad or indifferent Real team 5-0 is 5-0.

He's dreadful - an utterly pedestrian Argentine water-carrier. I've no idea why Real signed him. Both he and Ever Banega (another expensive midfield clogger, signed by Valencia and now on loan at Atletico) are useless.

The worst Chelsea performance under Guus but still through. Great for Essien to get a goal. Drogba is coming good at the right time of the season.

But he plays in the Spanish League so he must be technically superior to anyone in the English League.

Well, 2 down, 2 to go.

The Premiership is the best League in the World.

Wonder what Darren Bent was doing there



Also the young french dude who Hull signed a while ago is coming over on Thursday.

Recent results suggest that would be the case. Can't see Inter winning at Old Trafford even though we only need a 1-1 draw, or Roma turning over Arsenal.

Watching Wor Nile, his future partner up front?

Recent years more like. Liverpool have appeared in 2 finals (winning 1), Chelsea and Arsenal have made it to the final and Manchester United have also won 1. Premier league teams have dominated the semi-final line up for 2-3 years now.

Brap brap

what do bloody women know about football???????????



time to eat humble pie methinks jane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

technically correct keith, they got ted in the qualifiers, and did so again in the uefa cup. the same season.

Much to Platini's and Blatter's disgust. Is it our fault that the French and German club sides have been shiite?

Theo Walcott in 'moustache' shocker!
