Real Madrid 1-0 Liverpool – Premier League – 4th November 2014

Having decided to rest half his first team for this Champions League, no doubt in the hope that his side can qualify for it again next season, Brendan Rodgers watched his second-string 11 go down by a solitary goal in Madrid.

Karim Benzema was the goal-hero on the night for the hosts, scoring on 27 minutes from a Marcelo cross. Los Blancos were dominant throughout but came up against a Liverpool side who worked hard in defence even if they rarely threatened at the other end of the pitch.

The results sees the Reds third in Group B, six points behind leaders Madrid and three behind Basel.
