That is just majestic from Kroos. And how about that touch and finish from Vinicius, too?!

It was a goal that Real Madrid thoroughly deserved.

And they got their second shortly after when Marco Asensio capitalised on a mistake from Trent Alexander-Arnold.

There were no further goals going into half-time and Real Madrid were well worth their two-goal lead at the break.

Liverpool were better after the restart and managed to halve the deficit through Mohamed Salah.

But Vinicius Jr would net his second with 25 minutes remaining to restore Real Madrid's two goal advantage.

Luka Modric found the Vinicius Jr in the box and the 20-year-old managed to squeeze his effort past Alisson to mark his first career brace for Madrid.

There were no further goals, meaning Real Madrid go into the second leg at Anfield next week with a two-goal advantage.

Los Blancos will be the favourites to progress but Liverpool's away goal means the tie is far from over.
