Standard Sport assesses the individual performances from Liverpool's 3-0 defeat by Real Madrid at Anfield in the Champions League.

The Reds started brightly but fell behind to a wonderful Cristiano Ronaldo goal in the 23rd minute when the Portuguese superstar slotted home after a slick one-two with James Rodriguez.

Things rapidly fell apart for the hosts as Karim Benzema scored twice before half-time to wrap up victory for the European champions as early as the 41st minute.

Reds manager Brendan Rodgers took off Mario Balotelli at half-time but it made no difference as Real cruised to a comfortable win.
