Real Madrid took a two-goal lead to beat Liverpool 5-2 at Anfield on Tuesday in a historic Champions League performance.
Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah gave the Red Devils a great start to the round of 16 with two early goals, which worried Los Blancos from the start.
However, Vinicius Junior's excellent performance opened the way for Real Madrid's mighty comeback.
Let's take a look back at the six records Real Madrid broke in Tuesday's 5-2 win...
First European team to score 5 goals at Anfield
In fact, Real Madrid scored five goals against Liverpool at Anfield, becoming the first away team to do so. Karim Benzema's shot was saved by Joe Gomez, and they added another after Benzema moved past Alisson and shot on goal to open the scoring.
The Red Devils have also conceded at least four goals for the second time in the Champions League this season after the match against Napoli on September 7, 2022.
Benzema is the first person to score 6 goals in his career in European competitions against the Red Devils
Benzema now has more goals against Liverpool in European cup and Champions League history than any other player after scoring twice at Anfield on Tuesday night (6). For the record, he took part in the match against Didier Drogba.
His teammate Vinicius Junior, who scored twice earlier in the match, is now second in this category (5). Vinicius Junior is the youngest player since Cruyff to score twice as a guest to Anfield in Europe
Last year, Vinicius Junior's winning goal in the Champions League final broke the hearts of Liverpool fans, and on Tuesday he repeated it again.
He made history at Anfield by scoring at least twice as a guest in a European match at the age of 22, becoming the youngest player to do so since Johan Cruyff.
Benzema equals Messi in the number of consecutive Champions League goals
The French forward, who missed most of the group stage through injury, has now scored in 18 consecutive Champions League seasons after scoring his first in the European campaign.
It is on par with Lionel Messi in terms of all-time record.
Real Madrid is the first team to turn a 2 goal difference into a 3 goal victory at UCL
The Reds were ahead by at least two goals from the start, but Carlo Ancelotti's men, known for their spectacular comebacks, took a three-goal lead, setting a Champions League record. The stats are valid for home and away matches.
A great goal every nine minutes is averaged out by their five goals, coming between the 21st and 67th minutes.
Vinicius Junior, second youngest Madrid player to score in 3 consecutive UCL games
After scoring against Celtic and RB Leipzig, he added two more on Tuesday, turning his three-match Champions League streak into the best streak in Real Madrid history after Raul.
Raul made a miracle in 1999 at the age of 22 years and 163 days.
