Thibaut Courtois believes Liverpool's first-leg defeat to Real Madrid left Jurgen Klopp's side fearful of a repeat scoreline during the second Champions League meeting between the sides on Wednesday evening.
After taking an early two-goal lead at Anfield versus Los Blancos, the Spanish giants responded in emphatic fashion to take a comprehensive 5-2 advantage back to the Bernabeu for the last leg of the last-16 tie.
There were hopes the Reds could conjure up another famous European night as they looked to make up the three-goal deficit, though they had long been extinguished by the time Karim Benzema prodded home inside the box to seal a 6-3 aggregate victory.
