The Dutch winger Gakpo was placed on the right side near the midfield, if you need someone to assist Fabinho and Milner, he is the best choice, Klopp has been trying to train him to become Firmino 2.0, he can play a good attacking and defending pivot in the midfield, and there are several times to successfully hold Benzema attack, but he can not create a threat, many times missed a great opportunity in front of the field.

Nunez, who was plucked from Benfica, had the best chance of scoring among the 4 strikers. He worked well with Salah and showed a threat against Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, but unfortunately, he was unable to beat the Belgian in the end.

Jota’s situation was similar to the previous match against Bournemouth, he obviously had a hard time fitting into this game, Salah would miss all the passes to him and Klopp also saw this and took him off early in the 57th minute.

According to the Heracles Athletics, the last is Pharaoh Salah, perhaps facing Real Madrid has had 3 failures experience, as the commander of the Reds forward line this game is not too outstanding performance, Salah is the lowest score in the forward lineup in addition to Jota. In the face of such a weak attack, Klopp and Real Madrid must feel very sorry, last season’s Triple Crown is experiencing a downturn, hoping that after the elimination of the Champions League can focus on the Premier League to grab points, has now squeezed into the sixth place in the European competition, whether to maintain the front line will have to look forward to the outbreak.
