UCL: Liverpool miss host of chances as Real Madrid progress to semi-finals
Liverpool were left to rue missed chances with Real Madrid ultimately progressing to the semi-final after a goalless draw at Anfield on Wednesday night.
Starting with a 3-1 deficit from the first leg, the task always looked difficult for the Reds but playing with a vigour reminiscent of their sides of the previous two seasons they made life hard for their opponents in the first half.

Mo Salah especially was presented with a number of chances, the best of which came in the first three minutes when he could only shoot straight at Courtois from inside the penalty area.
A draw on the night and we exit the @ChampionsLeague. #LIVRMA | #UCL

As the game went on the Spanish champions looked more comfortable and Karim Benzema, whose deflected cross hit the post in the first half, should have done better with a free header nine minutes from time.
