00:03The most perfect evening for a game of football, conditions are absolutely splendid and the folk of this town have
00:10come out in their droves for this match, why wouldn't they, it is an ideal circumstance for what could be
00:17an ideal game.
00:18Everybody has been attracted to it, it has been the talk of the town, and the buses have been packed,
00:25double-decker buses lining up outside, coaches have carried thousands of away supporters here too, and all of it adds
00:33up to make a terrific, a crackling atmosphere, the match I think will be quite a spectacle.
00:40Unmistakably, this is the Camp Nou, staging a game in the way only the...
00:46Has a goal!
00:48Oh, it just wouldn't sit for him.
00:50I think his mind was made up the way that ball arrived, and I certainly admire his willingness to hit
00:55the volley.
01:03Chance!
01:07Worth a try.
01:09Not this time.
01:10Yeah, quick thinking, and the right choice for me, but that was difficult to get right.
01:20And a header!
01:22And he's there to make a great save.
01:25Oh, that's a sparkling save.
01:26Absolutely sparkling, his reflexes work ultra sharp.
01:31Real chance!
01:33It's him!
01:35It's hardly a surprise, is it?
01:36That's what we're here for, a player with this wonderful knack of being able to show up and deliver at
01:43important times.
01:44Yet, yet, another example.
01:50Well, there was to be no other outcome.
01:54Well, there was to be no other outcome.
02:24Liverpool didn't expect this, that's for sure.
02:27What can they do now?
02:28Well, it's halal.
02:33And it's Salah.
02:40Done very well to intervene.
02:44Alexander Arnold.
02:47It's put a stop to that.
02:52James Rodriguez
02:59just to point out Peter that the fullbacks are quite high
03:02and what do they try to achieve
03:03well it's obviously a move to push
03:05the opposition wide men back
03:07and give them more to think about
03:11and he's fouled in there
03:24Sergio Ramos is there to heave it away
03:41Gijnaldum
03:45Fabinho
03:46Belts one
03:49and that will sail harmlessly past
03:52they're probably getting frustrated
03:54by the lack of chances I suppose
03:59Gomez
04:00that was from the goal kick
04:04and it's Wijnaldum
04:10and it's played forward
04:13Jordan Henderson
04:17it's a long ball
04:18but it's not hit its target
04:30Benzema
04:32Isco has been found
04:40has gone out
04:49and he's cut it out
04:54and it's a corner
05:01and he's there to clear it
05:05defending albeit from an unexpected source
05:07you have to admire commitment like that
05:10because he could easily ignore that
05:11and just kind of walk around
05:13and let others do all the chasing
05:14but instead
05:15he looks as if he relishes the chance
05:17to dig in for his team here
05:22Paul has crossed the line
05:24and it's a throw
05:26and that's another throw
05:36it's Kroos
05:39potential goal of the season contender
05:41if only
05:43Tony Kroos
05:44certainly had a very good sight of goal
05:46and he would have fancied a better outcome then
05:55well waited
05:56now it's Benzema
05:57just a keeper to Benzema
06:01it's a carbon copy of the previous miss
06:04they're just lacking the cutting edge Peter
06:07and while that's fairly obvious
06:08the rest of their attacking play is actually quite good
06:15it's a long pass
06:16but not the most accurate
06:24and here's Benzema
06:26goes for goal
06:28oh that is rather wayward
06:30all he'd be thinking is
06:32please ground
06:33swallow me up
06:43it's ruffled a few feathers
06:45but well dealt with
06:48gets the better of his man
06:53really didn't have enough to concern the defence
06:59scoring for goal
07:09Firmino desperately wants to get on the end of this
07:11can't get the better of his opposite number
07:17Robertson
07:20Madrid scored early of course
07:22and it's 1-0
07:26Jordan Henderson
07:29and here's Mohamed Salah
07:34Gomez gets into the right position to intercept
07:44great strength
07:45too strong for his opponent
07:48another throw in
07:53interception through
07:55it's well read
07:58isco
07:59Benzema
08:02Benzema
08:03was alert to the possibilities
08:05but in the end it's fruitless
08:13hoisted forward
08:14well intercepted
08:17really alert to the danger
08:20and it's isco
08:22isco
08:28that's one way of trying to make things happen
08:30there's a few who could follow that example
08:37just couldn't turn it in
08:38this was all about good movement in the box
08:41just to allow him to get to it
08:50forward it goes
08:52Gomez
08:53Gomez
09:01Alexander Ronald
09:02doesn't get the pass he's looking for
09:11Fabinho
09:13Fabinho
09:15Fijnaldum
09:16Van Dijk
09:19Fijnaldum
09:30and they're not going to make any further progress now
09:36that's again for a throw in
09:47Robertson
09:51Benzema gets it back
09:58and that's the end of that it all started well enough
10:03Benzema
10:04Benzema
10:09Robertson
10:12and they've been caught out here
10:14he's left his man
10:15and the shots
10:17he has got it
10:22two to the good
10:23they have breathing space
10:30a momentary lapse
10:32exploited with glee
10:36for a lot of people
10:47they're ะฝะฐัะธั
10:47superheroes
10:47they're
10:47they're perfectly
11:02they're all
11:05so that's
11:07there's the end of the first half
11:09back on the first 45 minutes
11:12well it's looking pretty straightforward Peter
11:14they've got themselves into a very good position
11:16so why didn't from here
11:18when they can repeat their first half success
11:20with another show of strength
11:23Madrid
11:24sits in pretty here at half time
11:262-0 up
11:28the action has already resumed
11:30here
11:34Robertson
11:38too much on it
11:39and out of play
11:53Salah
11:53hoists it high
11:58Sergio Ramos
11:59plays it forward
12:00and it's Salah
12:04time and again they are repelled
12:11Varane goes looking
12:17Salah
12:17now it's
12:18and Firmino
12:21and Firmino
12:22denied brilliantly
12:23well that was high class goalkeeping there to back up as high class wage
12:29Alexander
12:30and the Ronald
12:30and the Ronald
12:33Gomez
12:34tries to get it forward quickly
12:36Nacho drives it forward
12:40and it's Salah
12:43questions were asked
12:44but he's given the answers
12:49and it's going to go to the flank
12:53gets away from his opponent
12:56Lucas Vazquez
12:59gets up to hit it
13:01gets up to hit it
13:01it's back to that
13:02and it's there
13:07and they are pulling clear here
13:14Benzema at his razor sharp best there
13:17well for me
13:18well for me
13:18that's just pure credit for brilliance
13:20it's not so much for finish
13:21but the way you read the situation
13:23that nobody else was even alert to
13:25it's fantastic
13:46Madrid take a three goal lead
13:48and they are romping out of sight
13:53and it's got through
13:56it's got paid to a promising move
14:01let down by a lack of accuracy
14:05Rodriguez plays it forward
14:13Van Dijk
14:16it's always a good time to register
14:18and lay down an early marker in the second half
14:22they clearly had exactly that in mind
14:24and have gone about their business
14:25with absolutely the right commitment
14:33Salah
14:37gets wrestled off the ball
14:42has a hit
14:45James Rodriguez
14:47James Rodriguez
14:52James Rodriguez
14:54eventually thwarted without doing any harm
15:00James Rodriguez
15:07Robertson
15:14play it for a throw
15:22let's go
15:25it's one
15:27and he should have made it for
15:29well Peter
15:30he clearly felt
15:31he was being invited to shoot
15:32and it wasn't the worst decision
15:34he could have made
15:37for a moment
15:38he felt that was going somewhere
15:39but they'll have to go again
15:44well played
15:45he saw that coming
15:51and it's Mane
15:54throw in
15:58going through
15:59Robertson
16:00battles to win it back
16:02Jordan Henderson
16:07that's not going to make it
16:09well the pressure is relentless
16:11it's a very very high press
16:12yeah because it's all about
16:14winning the ball back
16:15at the earliest opportunity
16:16a trigger by one player
16:18for the others to follow
16:19and designed to force
16:20opposition mistakes
16:38Mane
16:42it's got through
16:46whistle's gone
16:47that's foul
16:58they're a chance here
16:59what can they make of it
17:00Liverpool
17:01with the chance now
17:02to pull one back
17:05Mohamed Salah
17:11now it's Benzema
17:13and that is
17:14as far as they're going to go
17:18Van Dijk
17:23Jordan Henderson
17:25into the last quarter of an hour
17:36oh good interception
17:42Van Dijk
17:45Wijnaldum
17:47oh that's clearly not what he wanted to do
17:51Sergio Ramos
17:56he's made sure that that won't get through
17:58hoists it forward
18:01and the through ball is intercepted
18:05looks to thread it through
18:11it's been intercepted
18:12and that will come to nothing
18:18Robertson
18:21now it's Mane
18:26Firmino
18:29that is a class save
18:31he had to be at his best
18:32well the defence are in a good position
18:34to get behind the ball
18:36and let them just try from range
18:38oh no that's not the ball he wanted
18:50good challenge
18:51he just stood firm
18:53and it's James Rodriguez
18:54ball through needs to be
18:56he's gone for it
19:10he's had a chance
19:12big relief
19:13he just needed better contact
19:30and it's played forward
19:32well positioned to make that interception
19:38it'll be a throw in
19:45foot in
19:50Fijnaldum
19:53Robertson
19:54that's a decent ball
19:56Mane
20:01now it's James Rodriguez
20:05out to the left it goes
20:09Robertson
20:09Mane
20:11provides an outlet
20:12and that's that
20:18Madrid
20:19and one big
20:20and it's
