After elimination, Klopp offers this salary to Bellingham that no other club can pay

Where one expected an atomic, vertical, full-throttle Reds team with and without the ball, there was only a contemplative outfit, only activated by a few pecks from Salah, their only argument until he was arrested by Nacho. The visitors gave the ball away unashamedly. A pleasure for the patrician Kroos, quarterback. An ideal match for the German, without much hindrance and without any back and forth.

At the fiddle of Kroos, Real surrounded the beatle team. Without a hitch, except for a mistake by Rüdiger that Darwin Núñez wasted with a parvulary shot for Courtois. There were several immediate responses. Alisson, in the style of David Barrufet or Lorenzo Rico, made a man-of-the-match save from Vinicius. The Brazilian shot at his compatriot's eyelashes, but the keeper stuck out an arm like a pinwheel and deflected the ball wide.

He also had the spotlight after a tremendous shot from Camavinga - which Carlo Ancelotti anticipated from Tchouameni. Alisson clawed the ball back for the ball to hit the crossbar. The attacking cataract was joined by Modric, whose shot went wide. Real, with the spice of Vinicius, the erudition of Kroos, the agitation of Modric and the attacking prowess of Benzema, screwed a boneless opponent. It was a far cry from the rock and roll team that Klopp had been building up to this season.

<strong>Klopp offers 18 million</strong>

After this difficult match at the Santiago Bernabeu against Real Madrid where Liverpool were eliminated in the last 16 of the Champions League, Jürgen Klopp is determined to make the star signing of the Borussia Dortmund midfielder Bellingham and according to several local reports he is even willing to offer him up to 18 million a year in salary.
