Liverpool face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday night, realizing they'll stay in best position in Group B whatever the result at Anfield. The Reds have so far won each of the three gathering stage games and one more triumph here would ensure movement through to the last 16 at the soonest conceivable second. That is on account of their 3-2 success in Spain fourteen days prior, which saw Atleti come from two down to even out issues before the Reds won it from the punishment spot.
With games against Porto and AC Milan still to come, there's undeniably less strain in Jurgen Klopp's group to get an outcome than there is on Diego Simeone's; los rojiblancos have four focuses from three games, level with the Portuguese outfit in the gathering, so there remains work to do to guarantee they make the knockouts as well. Matters will be made more hard for them with Antoine Griezmann being suspended after his red card at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Liverpool discarded a two-objective lead at the end of the week, as well, this time being not able to find a victor against Brighton, while Atletico beat Real Betis in LaLiga.
