Liverpool vs. Atlético de Madrid: Diogo Jota scored 1-0 in favor of the English team | VIDEO

Liverpool vs. Atlético de Madrid face off in an attractive match for the UEFA Champions League. At 13 ′, the English team took the lead after a header from Diogo Jota, who took advantage of a precise step by Alexander-Arnold.

The Portuguese striker got into the area of ​​the Spanish team dodging the defenders and beat the nets of Oblak who tried to stop the ball, but could not. With this partial result, Jurgen Klopp’s squad would practically ensure their classification by adding 12 points.

For its part, the cast led by Diego ‘Cholo’ Simeone would stay in third place with four units. The games against Porto and AC Milan will be decisive in trying to get a place in the round of 16.

Match preview

Coach Jürgen Klopp has the possibility of securing a ticket to the knockout stages of the Champions League with a win on this day, which does not seem unreasonable. Throughout the season, the ‘Reds’ were once again a solid team in defense and fearsome in attack, locally and internationally.

Despite a 2-2 draw at home to Brighton on the final round of the Premier League, the historic English side are motivated to clinch the points. Everything indicates that Mohamed Salah will start again, being accompanied by Diogo Jota and Sadio Mané. Brazilian Roberto Firmino will have to wait for his opportunity on the bench.

In the same way, a variant could be presented in the defensive zone: Joel Matip would go from the start instead of Ibrahima Konaté. These two defenders have been exchanging roles over the last few weeks to pair up with Virgil Van Dijk, who is an immovable piece in Liverpool.
