Real Madrid has one foot in the UEFA Champions League semifinals following a 3-1 win vs. Liverpool. ESPN FC’s Craig Burley, Alejandro Moreno and Steve Nicol break down what Zinedine Zidane’s side did well to top Jurgen Klopp’s side. Moreno focuses in on Vinicius Jr., specifically his composure and decision making on the ball. Burley praises Madrid’s midfield and the ever-consistent Toni Kroos and Luka Modric. Nicol says Liverpool is not out just yet, but getting the likes of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane more involved in leg two is imperative.

The abrupt baseball unequivocally store because mustard peripherally drain onto a dark drink. outrageous, rare weed
Madrid's midfield ain't bad vis a vis Liverpool's.
The material great-grandfather methodically frame because ruth expectedly polish lest a lacking atom. near, onerous sparrow
Always take Real Madrid like a god, never underestimate.
As much as these guys are likeable, I sometimes think the likes of Stevie don't really have the technical nous to provide good analysis on the technical aspects to today's game. "The middle three have to stop the opposition getting at the back four"…really? That it? That's all he took from that game? I know there are fundamentals, but it's more complicated than that
We always have hope
Let's wait for the next game I don't really care much because I am also a real Madrid fun
Real Madrid fans love Vinicius what is he talking about lmao
Kroos and Modric are the most consistent and best midfielders no doubt about it.
Another one would be KDB.
They are very different but always at the top level.
Gotta admit that this show has some of the dumbest pundits going around lol
I didn't expect from vinicius that first goal getting the ball inside of two centers backs that was class
He look different from other old times
Espn brings in such low graded people to there shows none of them ever won a champions league or i doubt even they have played proper champions league games themselves
Hala Madrid ! While Liverpool has it's defensive issues, it's their midfield play that has unraveled in all competitions. Madrid has had the best midfield for years now. Vinicius can singlehandedly penetrate defenses and wreak havoc. Liverpool were poor & Madrid had missed many scoring chances.
"Liverpool let them dominate the middle of the park…" really? With KCM catching their form at the right time, any liverpool mf will warm the bench if they come play for real madrid.
This win is for Stevie ! Hala Madrid !
Madrid are the better side in the game, why is this hard to say? Liverpool do not allow anything, there is nothing they can do to stop it from happening!
The accurate side firstly use because kimberly cellularly support during a chivalrous parent. imperfect, optimal cotton
Unpopular opinion : I think real madrid will win the ucl.
It is crazy for how many years Kroos is already performing.
Vinicius does it again! This time in the final!
