Ferdinand talks about the thing he could not explain in Real Madrid’s crushing victory over Liverpool

Real Madrid once again showed their dominance in the Champions League. Despite Liverpool scoring twice in the first quarter of an hour at Anfield on Tuesday, Los Blancos turned the score around to win 5-2.

Former Manchester United defender and current TV pundit, Rio Ferdinand, had no explanation about Liverpool’s crushing at the hands of Real Madrid and said it didn’t look like they were getting old.

“You look at their team from last year and think it is another year older, Benzema, Kroos, Modric, it is going to be tough, they’ve lost Casemiro,” Ferdinand said.

“The recruitment over the last couple of years from the Galactico era to bringing young players in and developing, like Vinicius, Rodrygo, Camavinga. These players are now looking like proper players in the Champions League.

“They have been developed over time. The patience of that, added to a team that is still winning. You have to give props to the people behind the scenes who are running that ship.

“This is a team that have been lacking confidence all season. They have had good results in the last two games.

“But you see the frailties as soon as they go behind, with the lack of confidence from over a period of time come to the fore. It is difficult to build confidence overnight. It comes with five, six, seven eight games.”
