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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
