Real Madrid v Liverpool 30/08/1989

[@jperez1910]

Hugol was a-prolific scorer. One of the all time greats, great nose for the ball.

[@roqueiii645]

probably the best in scoring only with one touch of the ball

[@conairemclaughlin7960]

Still the nicest kit ever home and away 😍😍😍

[@chuma19]

I remember this game. Liverpool were such a good side under Dalglish, but Madrid just passed around them. It's when I realised that technical ability played such a huge part in the game. Had not so many flair players in the league, but Madrid looked like all their players were flair players.

Great video again Dave Waller. Beaten by the better team in this one

[@avisponnegro9199]

Agilidad de una pantera!!! Grande Hugo Sánchez!!!

[@ramdommusic2885]

hugo sanchez expectacular, asta para esquivar el portero

[@CarlosSanchez-rd1vl]

Generaba mucho juego Sánchez..en sus desmarquez..salía a recibir...actuaba como poste...se incorporaba al remate...jalaba hasta 2 marcas...era imprescendible en el Real...los comentaristas lo mencionan mucho y las camaras lo seguían...era un jugadorazo ek gran Hugo Sánchez

[@axlking-hp2vh]

Hugo the best killer in real Madrid history

[@theoverseas7]

Hugo the real killer sanchez

[@maximillianramirez1189]

I love old football matches

[@bmarkrundle]

That famous Liverpool number 7 shirt, worn by Gary Ablett, playing centre-back!

[@aidtom3503]

Rip Gary great servant to Liverpool and Everton.

[@pedroherrerocarreter4484]

Vaya desbarajuste.Schuster de libre, Sanchís de lateral, chendo de medioestorbo🙉... Pero daba igual.habia tanta calidad q Gordillo podría haber jugado de portero y no se hubiera notado mucho 😏

[@ramdommusic2885]

hugo espectacular, el mejor re matador de la historia, ojo rematador

[@maky7793]

I remember this match

[@MrCjp77]

Was this on ITV Midweek Sports Special or was it recorded for overseas viewers?

[@DaveWallerLFC]

There were highlights on Midweek Sports Special, as I remember watching that. This version is taken from a longer broadcast, but I'm not sure where it was shown.

[@PressureOnJulian]

It was shown in full on ITV at 1am on the night the game was played

[@jeremyslaney5644]

I have a feeling that both Hugo Sanchez and Bernd Schuster have played for both Madrid clubs

[@jaimeramirez4211]

Also both played for Pumas

[@sarnobat2000]

I wish someone had the 2003 real centenary tournament footage (same score against Real unfortunately, but we beat Milan 2-1).

[@planemaddean1458]

Always drove me mad that English clubs could play friendlies against European teams home or away from 1987 yet were still banned until 1990

[@valisimonu8320]

vizjon plus

[@doncarloancelotti2256]

Can't imagine how that Liverpool would've played against Sacchi's Milan in 1988-1990.

[@kelvinsoo9456]

Jefferson Huang the reds would be thrashed by the Rossenari

[@solo-repair9374]

We would have bossed it.

[@randyborstol2491]

Milan did not even win the League in 1989 so not invincible

[@jeremyslaney5644]

Bernd Schuster is one of a handful of players who have played for Real Madrid and Barcelona

[@JavierGarcia-ny2xd]

Not Barcelona. Atlético de Madrid

[@DaveWallerLFC]

Barcelona before Real, according to wikipedia, then Atlético

[@SKa-tt9nm]

@@JavierGarcia-ny2xdhe made his name with Barca before telling them and the German national team to f*** off.

[@SKa-tt9nm]

Bernd was the 3rd best playmaker of the early and mid 80s, after maradona and platini, ahead of the likes of zico and Socrates. Led the German team to the euro championship in 1980 at a very young age. Wore a big blonde mustache at one point as I recall. Very moody as well. He was often influenced by his then-wife, who was much older than him. Wasn’t quite the same by the late 80s. After quitting the national team, he was surpassed in fame by other number 10s such as Gullit. But had a long career in Spain, well into his mid 30s.

[@luipierre7283]

Hugol Sánchez Crack !!!!

[@robcoward6940]

What on earth was Grobbelaar doing for the first?!

[@athelstan927]

What he did all to often.. 😖🙄

[@e8412561]

...blimey...I've got no recollection of this game whatsoever...and that is the most make shift of back fours...

[@andrewwells531]

brucie up to his old tricks again crazy goalie cost lfc lots of goals and matches

[@swkenny]

Liverpool look asleep in this one but I guess it was just a friendly.

[@carlossimancas9867]

Yes indeed. It was the Bernabéu Trophy edition in 1989. This match was played in august, just before the beginning of the Liga in Spain

[@Kurgan618]

Age old question about Barnes answered. He could not excel against close marking, multiple markers and teams that were superior in possession.

[@SKa-tt9nm]

You figured all that out based on one friendly? To be fair, virtually any player from any era would struggle under those conditions. Messi is pretty much useless out of possession at this point and he’s the greatest player I’ve ever seen.

[@jagjitsinghmanku2283]

I still pick Maradona over Messi. Serie A was the best league in the world in the 80s/90s.
