Atletico isn’t going to leak like Barcelona did last year in the comeback. Simeone will shithouse that match from the opening whistle.

I wasn't able to watch and my sources are biased.

But hopefully the ref in the 2nd leg won't be as accommodating of the shithousery as the ref was today.

It is far from a given the Liverpool will progress, but I'm not overly worried, depending on the injury situation.
It felt like a typical CL knockout in terms of match control

I know Klopp was complaining about Mane being targeted (trying to draw a second yellow) after the match, but overall it was balanced.
