'It's a foul ANYWHERE on the pitch!': Peter Crouch argues Liverpool should have won a free kick in build-up to Marco Asensio's goal for Real Madrid after Lucas Vazquez brought down Sadio Mane

Peter Crouch believes Liverpool were very unfortunate to not be awarded a free kick before they conceded their second goal against Real Madrid.

The Reds got off to a terrible start in their quarter-final clash with the LaLiga giants after Vinicius Jr gave Los Blancos the lead midway through the first half.

Things went from bad to worse for Jurgen Klopp when Marco Asensio doubled the hosts advantage, but the Liverpool players were left complaining to the referee as the Spaniard wheeled off in celebration.
