Fabinho's wife Rebeca Tavares sends Liverpool fans message after Real Madrid defeat

Fabinho's wife Rebeca Tavares has sent Liverpool supporters an optimistic message despite the side's 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid.

It was a disastrous first-half for the Reds in the Spanish capital, with Los Blancos going into the half-time break with a 2-0 advantage.

Vinicius Jr. gave the hosts the lead after a fine pass from Toni Kroos before a Trent Alexander-Arnold mistake gifted Marco Asensio the side's second goal of the tie.

After what was most likely a half-time grilling from Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool came out for the second period looking much better and found an early goal thanks to Mohamed Salah.

However, Vinicius scored his second goal of the evening after some static defending from the Reds - who now have a very tough task at Anfield next week.

Fabinho 's wife, Tavares, is still full of optimism, though, as she took to Twitter to share her belief.

She said: "Next week will be better. We are Liverpool", accompanied by two red circle emojis, before replying to her own tweet: "Good night reds" with a kissing emoji.

Tavares may well be recalling some famous European nights at Anfield where the Reds have came back from the dead to progress in the Champions League.

It may be even more tricky for Liverpool, though, for Klopp's side given the lack of supporters that will be inside the famous stadium next Wednesday when the teams meet for the second-leg.

The Reds' form at Anfield in 2021 has been woeful as well but Salah's away goal still gives the six-time champions plenty of belief against Real Madrid.
