LIVERPOOL KNOCKED OUT OF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Atletico Madrid went to Anfield today. Liverpool took the lead in the 43' and seemingly had wrapped the match up when Roberto Firmino scored again. And then a calamitous collapse. In the 97' Marcos Llorente scored to give Atletico a forlorn hope but then Llorente scored again in 105+1 to level the match at 2 before Álvaro Morata completed the inexplicable comeback with a goal at 120+1.

Liverpool were the defending Champions League winners; they are run away leaders in the Premier League. If they had repeated as UCL titlists they would have had a claim to be the greatest club team in the world. However, losing in the round of 16 in the UCL ends that discussion.
