(The Guardian) HALF TIME: Liverpool 0-0 Real Madrid (agg: 1-3)Liverpool have had plenty of chances, but haven’t seriously bothered Courtois in the Real Madrid goal. The 13-time champions will be happy to have kept their hosts contained.

(The Guardian) Real get the second half underway. No changes. Liverpool are kicking towards the Kop in the second half, which is just how they like it.

(The Guardian) 46 min: Alexander-Arnold scoops a stunning cross in from the right. Firmino brings it down and hammers a shot towards the near post. Courtois parries brilliantly. Corner.
47 min: Nothing comes of the set piece, but what a pass that was from Alexander-Arnold, caressed with the outside of his boot, threaded through a thicket to find his man.

(The Guardian) 48 min: Alexander-Arnold comes again, nearly finding Firmino at the near post again. Not quite. Liverpool have come flying out of the blocks again.

(The Guardian) 49 min: Asensio and Valverde combine well down the right. A low cross is blasted clear by Phillips in the no-nonsense style.
51 min: Modric nearly springs Benzema clear down the right, but Kabak gets across as fast as he can and intercepts, just in time.

(The Guardian) 52 min: Valverde steams down the right and hooks inside for Benzema, who tries to trap and shoot, but is only able to cushion the ball softly into the arms of Allison. Real are responding well to Liverpool’s early second-half thrust.
54 min: Mendy and Benzema combine beautifully down the inside-left channel. Mendy reaches the byline, but under pressure from Fabinho, he can only pull back into a thicket of red shirts, and Alexander-Arnold clears.

(The Guardian) 55 min: Mane’s sweet backheel nearly releases Robertson into the box down the left. One of the Casemiros - there is more than one of him, right? - comes across to block Robertson’s run and win the goal kick.
56 min: Firmino has a whack from distance. The ball nestles in the roof of the Kop.

(The Guardian) 58 min: Liverpool are planning a double substitution, though they’re taking their sweet time over making it, Jota and Thiago taking in page after page of tactical bumf.

(The Guardian) 59 min: Phillips is booked for blocking Casemiro. That might be more for repeated fouling, actually, the final straw after a series of impudent clips and shoves.
60 min: Having failed to reduce the arrears, Liverpool decide that they may as well go for it. On come Thiago and Jota, their heads full of arrows and diagrams; off go Kabak and Milner. Fabinho will drop back into defence, and Liverpool will throw four up front.

(The Guardian) 64 min: Plenty of space for Vinicius down the left. He’s got Benzema and Asensio in the middle, but can only clank his pass straight into Fabinho. Liverpool breathe again after looking very light at the back for a few seconds there.

(The Guardian) 65 min: Mane strips Mendy of possession down the Liverpool right and digs out a cross that forces a corner. But the resulting set piece is a complete non-event. On the touchline, Jurgen Klopp is beginning to show signs of high irritation. His opposite number Zinedine Zidane is his usual inscrutable self.

(The Guardian) 66 min: Vinicius is spring clear down the middle by Valverde’s long ball! He’s one on one with Alisson, but the keeper makes himself big and smothers, then stops Benzema as well, before springing up and hacking clear. Liverpool are still in it ... just. Two goals are proving elusive enough; three would surely be too much.

(The Guardian) 68 min: A half-chance for Jota near the left-hand post. He can’t decide whether to head goalwards or backwards, and achieves neither. Then a full-fat opportunity for Salah, who finds the ball at his feet on the penalty spot after some in-box pinball. But he pauses, allowing Militao to get in the way, and can’t get a proper shot off. Real somehow block and clear.
