Real Madrid came from two goals down to beat Liverpool 5-2 in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League last 16 clash.

Anfield was rocking after Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah fired the Reds into a 2-0 lead inside the opening 15 minutes.

But Real were level before half-time thanks to two goals from Vinicius Junior.

Eder Militao then headed Real in front early in the second half before two Karim Benzema strikes put the reigning champions in control.

It was not a good night for goalkeepers as both Thibaut Courtois and Alisson Becker produced costly howlers.

Real no.1 Courtois was tackled inside his own penalty area by Salah for Liverpool's second goal.

At the other end, Alisson kicked the ball straight at Vinicius for Real's equalizer.

The return match will take place in Madrid on March 15.
