Another bottle job in Liverpool's bottling history.

"A win for Liverpool? This Liverpool? Did anyone see that coming?"

Those were the rhetorical questions I was asking myself in the first 15 minutes of the UCL game that was just played between Liverpool and Real Madrid. I'm sure you already know how the whole thing turned out. It was one hell of a game for Liverpool but do well to hold your laugh. Hehe. It's been a rough day for most Liverpool fans like myself.

It's funny how we always believe in the iconic statement made by Jurgen Klopp when he said he will change Liverpool supporters from doubters to believers. That statement has been living rent-free in my mind, but the inverse has been the case for the vast majority of this season. We are being dragged back to our doubting days.

I will be honest with y'all... I didn't go into this game with any expectations. Liverpool has already been outplayed by so many 'small clubs' this season. Having any expectation in a game against R/Madrid would be considered laughable. But then, you wouldn't blame me for getting pumped when we got 2 goals lead very early in the game. Imagine the brilliance it took to score two past R/Madrid within the first 15 minutes of the game.

At that very point, the part of me that didn't have any expectations suddenly became filled with tons of expectations. I expected a win. I hoped for more goals. I wanted a clean sheet. I wanted us to finally get an upper hand against R/Madrid. Of course, I thought we deserve this after so many years of being outplayed by them. What I didn't know was that my expectations will soon become the architect of my disappointment.

To put this into perspective, the screenshot below tells a better story about how my sudden expectations got shattered;

This is the weirdest bottle job in the history of bottling. The whole turn of events is comical. It was so comical, I could hardly stand it. Yet, I had to sit through the whole 90 minutes of the game. I still don't know why I do that. Maybe it's because I sacrificed my hard-earned money to watch this battering.

That's all about the rise and fall of Liverpool's Champions League dream in this season of UCL.

What an European night!
