The former Liverpool defender did not hold back on the 5-2 Anfield loss; Thierry Henry called it the end of an era
Liverpool will want to quickly forget what took place at Anfield on Tuesday, but it's a result that will long be hard to ignore and could have serious repercussions for a club that not long ago was at the summit world football. A 5-2 defeat at home to Real Madrid in the Champions League round of 16 first leg has left the Reds at what feels like rock bottom.
After jumping ahead 2-0 in the first 15 minutes, Jurgen Klopp's side witnessed its UCL campaign collapse for the remaining 75 minutes with an underwhelming performance not much different than how they fared in Premier League play, where they sit in eighth.
Club legend Jamie Carragher did not hold back during the UEFA Champions League Post-Match Show on CBS Sports and Paramount+, not only calling out the backline, but the entire squad. "[They've] have been absolutely shambles defensively," Carragher said.
