Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was left to rue their dire first-leg performance against Real Madrid as his side exited the Champions League with barely a whimper.

The hosts could not fashion another of their famous European comebacks as despite registering 15 shots they managed just four on target and Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was barely tested.

But what really cost them was their performance in the Spanish capital for last week’s first leg when their opening 45 minutes was woeful and led to them losing 3-1.

Real coach Zinedine Zidane was delighted to be through to the semi-finals, where they will face Chelsea.

“We have suffered tonight under pressure but we have got through this quarter-final tie,” he said.

“I think we deserve to have got through this round. We knew they would make it hard for us but we controlled parts of the game very well.

“We were very solid. It was a game which was very important for us to get through and we gave it everything we’ve got.”
