ALISSON - 6
A mix-up with Konate for the Benzema disallowed goal and then had a scare just before half-time when he nearly gave a goal away.
No chance for the Vinicius strike.
TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD - 6
On a mission to forget his nightmare clash against Real last season and he did just that with some great tackles and blocks - but then caught out badly for the goal.

IBRAHIMA KONATE - 7
What a great first season he has enjoyed and given the nod ahead of Joel Matip.
Extremely strong at the back until he got in a muddle with Alisson in the first half.
VIRGIL VAN DIJK - 6
Also got caught out by the ball which led to the disallowed goal and then could have done a bit better for the Vinicius strike.
ANDY ROBERTSON - 7
Also caught out of position in the move that led to the Benzema offside goal but generally did okay under pressure - and now a massive World Cup play-off on Wednesday.
THIAGO ALCANTARA - 7
There was a doubt over him starting as he seemed to have an issue in the warm-up.
Some brilliant passing but got away with a poor header back to Alisson.
FABINHO - 7
A fitness doubt before the game was composed in possession and helped protect the defence on the rare occasions Real got forward.
JORDAN HENDERSON - 6
Given the nod ahead of Naby Keita and typically hard-working performance and helped Liverpool ticking along without making a major impact.
LUIS DIAZ - 6
Absolutely terrific player and as we all expected, a real threat down the left throughout the first half but faded badly and was replaced by Jota.
SADIO MANE - 6
Doubts over his future and did okay although the service could have done better.
Had a shot tipped against the post and few chances in the second half.
MO SALAH - 6
Three big chances.
Forced an early terrific save from Courtois but then denied by two even better stops from the Belgian in the second half.
SUBS: Jota (for Diaz 65 mins) 6, Keita (for Henderson 77 mins) 6, Firmino (for Thiago 77 mins) 6.
SUBS NOT USED: Kelleher, Milner, Gomez, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Minamino, Tsimikas, Matip, Elliott.
