Despite leaking in four goals, Real Madrid goalkeeper, Iker Casillas, was easily his team’s best player on the field on a night when Liverpool crushed the nine-time European champions 4-0 in the last-16 of the Champions League.

The shot-stopper looked unusually dejected throughout the game once the Reds cruised to a 2-0 first-half lead but he pulled off a string of saves to prevent his side from an even heavier defeat. But the disappointment and embarrassment was there for all to see on his face after the game.

The 27-year-old walked off the pitch after the final whistle teary-eyed and started crying shortly after. Team captain, Raul, spotted his fellow skipper in anguish and promptly went over to console him.

Casillas, who is already a two-time Champions league winner, and his Los Blancos team-mates have now failed to advance past the first knockout round of the competition in five successive seasons.
