Silva is blaming the City fans for keeping the ball whilst he waited to take his penalty.

Give Ancelloti credit, he’s a great coach that generally gets the better of teams who beaten them previously - a real winner and charming guy I’ve heard

Well done Aston Villa

He is.

That's an end to England's hopes for a fifth place in the champions league.

No he isn't.
But you know that don't you troll.

City fans doing that to one of their own players.

Seems Kepa was the person who helped Lenin deal with Silva's "penalty." Two ex-Chelsea players swung it for Madrid.

Bit sad to see Liverpool go out tonight in the manner they did. Klopp's last European match. Hopefully they will make a go of it in the League..

Who would have thought on the evening of 18th April, only one English team would be left in Europe.

After Klopp's retirement announcement, i think the wheels will fall off completely, the Same thing happened when Sir Alex did the same, i'm still surprised he did it.

Come on Villa, aye a season that promised so much

I expect them to complete next season, top four will be success for his successor

Those damn FA Cup replays skittled our hopes!

I agree, Klopp will have left the next manager a great foundation to build on, but i meant the wheels falling off for this season.

They do seem to have and Salah seems a shadow of his former self from pre AFCON

Yeah, the early announcement was a bit odd but then again it could have served as a catalyst for Liverpool to go onto the quadruple. Obviously not. They looked well off it tonight despite the early goal; I'd even say: worn out. The post Klopp era might be quite a difficult one.

I’m sure the club would have preferred to keep Klopp’s decision under wraps but keeping these things quiet is very difficult, especially when you start putting feelers out for a replacement.

Sad to see the premierships top three teams exit europe in 24hrs

Watching Alison's happy smiley hugs and conversation with Gasperini at the end had me wanting someone to remind him Liverpool had just been knocked out of Europe.

Why not - it’s just football and you only live once.
