Real Madrid defender Toni Rudiger was stunned by his teammates after their 5-2 win at Liverpool.

Real were 2-0 down inside 14 minutes but fought back to win 5-2 in the first-leg of their Champions League round 16 tie.

Rudiger said, "It's crazy. I saw during the match that we still believed in it, but to come back like that is just crazy. We told ourselves we just needed one goal - and we did that quickly.

"After that we were back in the game. I've never experienced a night like tonight in football."

Real teammate Thibaut Courtois also said, "We're never beaten, we always react. Those two quick goals did help us to do that. We were calm, mentally, and when we are on the rise we play well."
