Liverpool are out of the Champions League after a 6-2 aggregate defeat to Real Madrid in the last 16.Trailing 5-2 from the first leg three weeks ago, the Reds battled hard but were unable to make any inroads into the deficit, and instead succumbed to a 1-0 loss thanks to Karim Benzema's late strike.Jurgen Klopp's side had first-half chances through Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo, but it is the holders and 14-time winners who progress to the quarter-finals, and in deserved fashion too.<script type="application/json" data-placement="fcplayer-semantic">{"type":"fcplayer-semantic","data":{"embedCode":"//cdn.fcp.codes/embed-code-template/embed-code-template.js#SEMANTIC_5704afb8-c10b-4ba5-9cb4-d7fb6098ef90"}}</script>GOAL rates Liverpool players from Santiago Bernabeu...

Liverpool player ratings vs Real Madrid: Alisson amazing but Mohamed Salah & Co. blank as Reds bow out of Champions League

Premier League

Southampton

Liverpool

LaLiga

Leganes

Real Madrid

Alisson Becker (9/10):Two superb first-half saves to deny Vinicius and Camavinga, and another after the break to thwart Valverde. No chance with the goal.Trent Alexander-Arnold (5/10):Run ragged by Vinicius, who was just too quick and sharp. Much happier when attacking, with some incisive passes, but won't want to face Real again any time soon. Dreadful late corner.Ibrahima Konate (6/10):Held his nerve well in the last line and used his speed and strength against Vinicius &amp; Co.Virgil van Dijk (6/10):Defended well under pressure for the most part and played some great diagonals. Goal was scruffy.Andy Robertson (5/10):Unable to get forward much and got away with a poor giveaway for Valverde's chance.

Goalkeeper & Defence

Fabinho (5/10):The odd wayward pass and seemed to slow down in the second half.James Milner (5/10):As game and as committed as we'd expect, but was asked to do far too much in a two-man midfield.

Midfield

Mohamed Salah (5/10):Had some joy against Nacho early on, but wasted a great chance to set up Nunez for a big opportunity and faded fast.Cody Gakpo (6/10):Charged with linking midfield and attack, he was neat enough without really threatening a goal.Diogo Jota (5/10):Scuffed a first-half chance and was untidy too often with his passing. No shock when he was replaced by Firmino.Darwin Nunez (6/10):Lively and positive. Surprisingly taken off early.

Attack

Roberto Firmino (6/10):One gorgeous flick to Salah aside, not much.Harvey Elliott (6/10):Neat and tidy.Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (5/10):Brought back in from the cold as the game petered out.Fabio Carvalho (N/A):On in stoppage time.Kostas Tsimikas (N/A):On for the last seconds. Booked.Jurgen Klopp (5/10):Hamstrung in his starting selection, but Nunez sub was a weird one.
