Liverpool's U19s team suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat at the hands of Real Madrid in its UEFA Youth League match on Tuesday. The game was played just hours before the first team defeated Madrid 1-0 at Anfield thanks to Alexis Mac Allister's second-half goal.

Despite having netted seven times in their previous two matches, Rob Page's players found it challenging to create significant chances against the Spanish team. This was evident just a week after Liverpool's remarkable 5-4 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the previous UEFA Youth League matchday.

Despite Real's superior physicality, the visiting team didn't shy away from relieving pressure in the early stages by taking a tumble when coming into contact with Liverpool players. Perez then doubled the lead just three minutes after half-time, connecting with Diego Aguado's low corner from the left wing.
