10 March 2009 | Champions League | Round of 16
“Madrid humiliated in Europe”, “Liverpool, white cemetery” and “Madrid crash to earth” were among the headlines after a 4-0 defeat saw the nine-times European champions lose the last-16 tie 5-0 on aggregate. The result means Real have failed to reach the Champions League quarter-finals for a fifth straight year.
The scoreline might have been worse were it not for a string of saves from Iker Casillas in the Real goal and Spain’s newspapers did not hold back in their assessments of Juande Ramos’s side’s performance.
