In the exception handler which is found in App\Exceptions\Handler you can add a flash message when AuthenticationException is thrown.

public function render(Exception $exception)
{
    if ($exception instanceof AuthenticationException) {
        Session::flash('login-error', 'You must be logged in to do that...');
    }

    return parent::render($exception);
}

Then in your login view, check for that error in the session and display a message when it is present.
