UCL: A disgrace – Carragher slams Liverpool over 5-2 defeat to Real Madrid

 Ex-Liverpool defender, Jamie Carragher has criticized his former team following their 5-2 demolition in the hands of Real Madrid in the Champions League round of 16 first leg on Tuesday.

The Reds raced into a two-goal lead, thanks to Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah.

But Madrid fought back to level in the first half with a Vinicius Jr brace.

Militao, a Joe Gomez own goal and Karim Benzema saw the LaLiga champions take a big advantage back to the Bernabeu.

“That was shambolic from Liverpool.

“Embarrassing. We have made excuses for them all season, but that was a disgrace in that second half.

“To lose that half 3-0 when you’re attacking the Kop at 2-2 and in a knockout game. Shambolic,” Carragher said on CBS.
