But their problem wasn't scoring goals, any team that scored 5 goals in a CL semis would be expected to be in the final.
We should've been out of sight before Benzema scored in the first leg. Should have been 4-0 up.
Madrid were ridiculously clinical, scoring six goals from just ten shots on target.
City could only manage five from sixteen. If we were anywhere near as clinical as Liverpool we would be in the final and probably further ahead in the league too, as we wouldn't have as many dropped points vs Spurs or Southampton.
At the end of the day a forward line of Sterling (low on confidence from being messed around out of position), Mahrez (limited in how many chances he can score due to his one-footedness), Jesus (not the most clinical), Foden (Again, often out of position) and Grealish (who's not really a goalscorer at all).
If Liverpool win the quadruple it won't be the midfield, which is nothing special in terms of individual talent, nor the defence, which is great but no better than ours. It'll be because they have quality forwards who are all confident in front of goal and are allowed to consistently play in positions that suit them. We've got one genuinely great goalscorer who hasn't been great since we stopped playing with a striker two years ago. Everything we've achieved these two years has been in spite of deliberately giving ourselves an enormous disadvantage in a crucial position.
