Real Madrid ultimately defeated Liverpool three-nil at Anfield Stadium.
It was a completely one-sided victory, and everyone in Anfield Stadium saw the vast gulf between the two teams.
Yang Yang opened the scoring for Real Madrid in this match and also assisted Suarez for the second goal, while Suarez then scored twice after receiving Toni Kroos's assist.
Two former Liverpool players scored all three goals, leaving the Reds fans at Anfield Stadium deeply dejected.
Through this match, the Reds fans clearly saw that both Yang Yang and Suarez were genuine top stars. Both had once brought them the joy of victory at Anfield Stadium, but unfortunately, Liverpool had never been able to keep them.
From a tactical perspective, Rodgers's Liverpool emphasized a fast tempo while also placing considerable importance on possession.

Real Madrid, by contrast, enjoyed the advantage in overall possession, passing, and ball control. Their players were also superior in consistency and finishing efficiency. It could be said that they had suppressed Liverpool in every aspect.
At the post-match press conference, Liverpool's Head Coach Rodgers was forced to admit, "Real Madrid gave us a vivid lesson at Anfield Stadium and showed us the gap between ourselves and the world's top teams."
Liverpool's results in this season's Champions League had not been ideal. Although they had beaten Ludogorets in the opening round, they had then lost one-nil away to Basel in the second round.
