Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Jr was delighted with their Champions League victory at Liverpool.

The Reds were 2-0 ahead at Anfield before being steamrolled by Real 2-5 in the first-leg of the round of 16 tie.

Vinicius said, "I'm very happy, there are players who they always give me peace of mind and even down 2-0 we didn't get lost, continuing to play with a cool head.

"That's why Real Madrid won so much, it makes even the difficult moments seem easy.

"Liverpool pressed us so much, the part it was made more difficult but the 90 minutes remain at home and they will be very long."
