    Last year champions.

    I'm not surprised by the scoreline.

    I'm really proud of the performance overall, especially the first half.

    I'm more than confident that we'll give Shaktar and Leipzig a game.

    Such a disappointing second half. Been absolutely hammered.

    Really no excuse for that one. Team has more or less chucked the basics defensively.

    Which is really disappointing because a goal would’ve changed this. Also there’s plenty of life in the group. Keep working hard as prep for the remaining games..

    More to do with not taking chances as has been with every European game if we score couple of our chances in the first half then it’s a different game

    We’re playing Real Madrid here. Gave them a tough time in the first half but struggling now. Some harsh comments here.

    Ridiculous goal from them. So many positives from tonight still. Madrid could do this to anyone, I've seen more than enough tonight to think we'll have a right good chance against Shakhtar and Leipzig.

    Just shocking fkkn finishing.. this would be a different story if we’d made just one of those chances count

    You know they are the reigning champions and this is our first year in the Champions League in four or five years with a team that has been assembled in 12 months.

    There's levels to this. And we're not at Madrids. Bear in mind where we were 18 months ago. Couple of goals def avoidable though. It's clear where the weakness is at this level though.

    Cracking effort and gave their all. No complaints. Just don't concede again please.

    Left side has been weak right from the start - and it's not just Taylor to be blamed. If Jota is freed from defensive duties some tactical adjustments need to be made....

    It's clear Ancelotti and this Madrid team are cunningly masterful at allowing the opposing team to spend energy and invite pressure early on and get them excited.

    They done throughout the tournament last season and it's how they got a Liverpool as well.

    We aren't at the levels of Liverpool, Man City or Chelsea were last season and they all got done by Madrid in the end the same way they've got round us in this second half.

    First half was excellent but you have to take the chances. Can’t chase a game against them, had to score first.
