As the two giant screens played a video to mark Pep Guardiola's 1000th game in management before kick-off, the Liverpool fans in the away end paid little attention, instead singing songs of defiance. It was about as fun as it got for them. Etihad verdict.

The UEFA rule that prohibits the same fixture three seasons running in the new Champions League will be a welcome reprieve for Real Madrid. Liverpool are up to sixth but the real value of this win is much more important. Verdict from Anfield.
