Real Madrid swept Liverpool out of the UEFA Europa League round of 16 with a resounding victory on the road. Brazilian striker Yunisios showed his amazing strength, scoring two goals and providing key assists, helping the team to fight back from adversity. After the match, Real Madrid's manager Angelo Anzilotti highly praised: "Yunisios, deservedly the first person in today's world soccer!"
Facing a two-goal deficit, 22-year-old Yunisios started the turnaround journey with a brilliant long-distance shot, and finally helped Real Madrid to a 5-2 victory over their rivals with an all-round performance of 2 goals and 1 assist. He became the youngest player to score against Liverpool in a European match away from home since Dutch King Cruyff in 1966, and is also the youngest player to score in three consecutive UEFA matches for Real Madrid after Rohr, who has become an indispensable soul of the team.
Anzilotti was full of praise for the Brazilian talent's play, "Yunisios' impact on the field is unmatched, his consistency and dominance is unrivaled in the world. Whether he was breaking, assisting or scoring, he was consistently efficient for 90 minutes and never let up."
