Liverpool - Atletico: is it that simple?

Liverpool - Atletico: is it that simple?

For the second year in a row, the current club champion of Europe can stop defending the title already in the first round of the playoffs. The unenviable fate of Madrid Real, which in the last Champions League draw at the same stage flew from Ajax, can repeat Liverpool. In Madrid, the team of J?rgen Klopp could not do anything with the well-organized game of Atletico in defense. In addition, the “Red" also missed from the standard - and were in a difficult situation.

Liverpool

After losing in the first match of the 1/16 finals of the Champions League, Liverpool slowed down and lost 2 of 4 matches, and in these fights could not even score, having such a set of forwards in the clip. The cause of failure can be called fatigue, which has accumulated over the season, and both physical and constant moral stress caused by responsibility for the result.

After Chelsea took the Reds out of the FA Cup in the 1/8 finals with a score of (0: 2), and a little earlier J?rgen Klopp leaked the FA Cup, the Merseysiders remained to hold first place in the Premier League and defend their victory in the Champions League.

Alisson, Nathaniel Clyne and Jordan Henderson will not be able to take part in today's due

Atletico

After the sale of Griezmann to Barcelona, ??it seems that Atl?tico forgot how to score. After 27 rounds of La Liga, the Madrid club was in an unusual fifth place, with 11 victories and 12 world ones.

Such a high place is due to the second strongest line of defense in Spain (21 goals conceded), but the attack line is the worst of all the top ten teams. Examples are 31 goals scored, of which eight are Morata's.

In La Liga, Los Rojiblancos do not lose five matches in a row, and on Saturday they parted with Sevilla in their home field (2: 2)

Before today's match in the infirmary, only Dar?o Poveda and Thomas Lemar, who has a hip injury, but his exit to the field are in doubt.
