Liverpool fans gave Real Madrid veterans Luka Modric and Karim Benzema standing ovations at the end of last night's Champions League defeat.
The pair were outstanding in Real's 5-2 win at Anfield.
87 minutes into the game, Carlo Ancelotti decided to replace Modric and Benzema and the ovation from Madrid's supporters was joined by the applause of the local fans themselves.
Before the game the English club honoured the late Amancio Amaro by placing a wreath next to the visiting fans; during the game, Modric became master of the midfield, dominating every instance at will.
In addition, his assist as soon as the second half began changed the game and the movement of Éder Militao from a set piece was excellent. For his part, Benzema's numbers speak for themselves: two goals and an assist in 87 minutes for the current Real Madrid captain.
