EPL: Henry claims it’s the ‘end of an era’ for Liverpool under Klopp

Thierry Henry thinks it’s the “end of an era” at Liverpool after they lost 5-2 to Real Madrid in their Champions League last-16 match on Tuesday night.

The Reds made the perfect start with two goals in first 14 minutes from Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah but a brace from Vinicius Junior saw the La Liga giants level at half-time.

Eder Militao’s header early in the second half put Los Blancos ahead before a Karim Benzema double put the game beyond Liverpool and inflict one of Jurgen Klopp’s heaviest defeats during his time at the club.

It now means Liverpool will have to overcome a three-goal deficit in the second leg to qualify for the Champions League quarter-finals with the Reds having a terrible season by their standards.

Liverpool won back-to-back Premier League matches to move themselves up to eighth in the Premier League table recently but a top-four finish will take a huge turnaround in the second half of the season.

And Arsenal legend Henry thinks Real Madrid once again exposed Klopp’s side’s fragility after shipping lots of goals in the league this season.

“They conceded too many goals against Brentford, Wolves and Brighton – let alone before you play a team like Real Madrid,” Henry told CBS Sports.

“I wanted to know where they were and I saw a fragile team. More than fragile, why? They were 2-0 up. That’s exactly the start
