FT: Liverpool 0-3 Real. A first-half masterclass sinks Liverpool as the holders surge clear at the top of Group B. The Reds are now face a big fight to grab second spot.
YNWA belting out around Anfield. It's tradition but tonight's defeat will hurt Liverpool deeply.
Two minutes added.
Real on the verge of a club record, seven Euro wins in a row. Just seconds left - and injury time!
It's not every week you get to see the European champions... even with a history like Liverpool's!
Can shoots... way off target.
Still 0-0 elsewhere in Group B.
REAL sub: Marcelo off, Nacho on.
Corner to Liverpool, but it's met by barely a whisper inside Anfield. Lovren can't quite reach it and Real will try to break.
Los Blancos have won each of their last six games in Europe scoring 18 goals and conceding only three... Make that SEVEN.
REAL sub: Kroos replaced by Illarra.
Despite taking Ronaldo off, Real are still looking for a fourth. It would cap a superb showing.
Modric shoots from distance but it's too tame to really trouble Mignolet.
Real preparing another sub. This game is well and truly over. It's like a practice match now.
STAT: Liverpool’s last home defeat in European competition came in October 2012 (2-3 v Udinese).
Liverpool fans showing their class there.
REAL sub: Ronaldo booed and also applauded by some Liverpool fans as he goes off with Barca in mind at the weekend. Khedira comes on.
A lovely break from the visitors ends with James cracking a low shot just wide of the post. It could easily be four or five.
Sterling and Markovic show good composure in the Real area but Allen can only stab wide from close range. The flag was up, so it saves his blushes.
Brilliant defending by Varane denies Can's positive run.
