Real Madrid played 'You'll never walk alone' around the Santiago Bernabeu after they dumped Liverpool out of the Champions League as a mark of respect after the Reds previously paid tribute to the passing of Los Blancos legend Amancio Amaro

Real Madrid's unusual decision to play 'You'll never walk alone' around the Santiago Bernabeu following their Champions League victory over Liverpool on Wednesday was done as a mark of respect.

Karim Benzema's solo strike was the difference at the Santiago Bernabeu as the visitors from Merseyside slipped to an eventual 6-2 aggregate defeat after losing 1-0 on the night in Spain.

However, instead of the 14-times Champions League winners playing their usual 'Hala Madrid' anthem around the 81,000 capacity stadium, Liverpool's historic anthem was instead blared out of speakers.
