A Liverpool legend has labelled the Reds as "embarrassing" and "a disgrace" following their record defeat to Real Madrid on Tuesday night.
The Merseyside club gave up a 2-0 lead to suffer a 5-2 chastening loss to Carlo Ancelotti's side in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie.
The result was the Reds' worst-ever home defeat in European competition, while Real's Vinicius Junior became the youngest player to score twice for an away side at Anfield in Europe since a young Johan Cruyff did the same for Ajax Amsterdam against Bill Shankly's Liverpool in 1966.

With the reigning European champions having beat the Merseysiders in last season's UCL final, they rubbed also salt into their wounds by becoming the first team ever to score five times at Anfield in European competition.
Following the record-breaking tie, ex-Liverpool star Jamie Carragher slammed Jurgen Klopp's team for their poor showing, especially in the second half.
"Listen, first of all, I must say what a performance by Real Madrid, to come to Anfield and do that," he said, per the Daily Mail.
"I have never seen a team come to Anfield on a European night that I can remember, that I was involved in [or] that I've seen and perform like that and destroy Liverpool like that.
"But that was shambolic from Liverpool. Embarrassing.
"We've made excuses for them all season, the reasons why they're not doing as well as they have done in previous seasons, but that was a disgrace that second half.

"To lose that second half three-nil, you're attacking the Kop, it's 2-2, knockout game... as I said, absolutely shambolic from Liverpool.
"And what I'm talking about in terms of being shambolic, I'm talking about defensively shambolic all season."
