Spanish papers wasted no time putting the boot into Real Madrid after their pathetic display contributed to a night of glory for Liverpool.
The nightmare went on for Real fans, who woke up to horror headlines 'Madrid humiliated in Europe', 'Liverpool - white cemetery' and' Madrid crash to earth'.
The daily ABC wrote: "Liverpool gave a provincial looking Madrid a lesson in what Europe is.
"Their devastating play made Madrid look like they weren't at the game: no possession, no ideas, no energy and lacking control or width.
"A stellar Torres knocked Madrid to the ground and Gerrard buried them." El Pais blamed the Spanish champions' dismal showing partly on the club's recent internal problems, which it said urgently needed to be resolved.
Real have an interim president following Ramon Calderon's resignation in a vote-rigging scandal and El Pais said elections must be held sooner rather than later so a new president can breathe life into the club.
"Madrid have hit rock bottom." wrote El Pais.
"They have been there for a while on the institutional side and now they have fallen off a cliff in the sporting arena."
