The reigning European champion Liverpool took the door from the 8es of the Champions League final falling 3-2 (after extra time) to Atlético Madrid on Wednesday (March 11th) in a return match at Anfield, after having already lost in the first leg (1-0).

Even pushed by their public, the Reds stumbled on an iron defense of Atlético Madrid who held up in overtime after the opening score of Georginio Wijnaldum (43e). Jürgen Klopp's team glimpsed the quarters with Roberto Firmino's two-time break goal (94e), before giving way back to back on two long shots from Marcos Llorente (97e and 105e+1), then a new counter-conclusion concluded by Álvaro Morata (120e +1).
