Keeper makes such a big difference. Alisson is their game changer, not VVD

Just before that chance, Liverpool had a throw in on the coach’s side, and instead of letting the ball roll past him or kicking it even farther, Simeone tapped it back to the ‘pool player coming to take the throw.

He is a master.

Brilliant. Just seen the score. So I guess Miguel Delaney will have to discount Liverpool's season now as they have also lost their 2 "biggest games of the season."

Put to bed this legend of Anfield on big European nights. It might be intimidating but no more than a number of other European stadiums. Last year's Barcelona performance was shameful, an encore from their previous year's performance in Rome. So pleased.

Why are the PSG players mocking Halaand? Such a weird, dislikable club.

Eat a fat fucking dick Liverpool

Lol.

“They celebrated as if they won the tie after the game so let’s see,” the Scotland international told BT Sport.

“They are coming back to Anfield, we know our fans will be there, we know we will be there, it is up to them to be there.”

Just imagine us being the team that conceded that goal in extra time that Liverpool(Firminho) scored?

We’d concede 3 more.

At least.

this feels like the most pointless game ever. champions league will be cancelled this year anyway and hundreds of people on the stadium probably just got infected

Why would we be in extra time in a knockout game in the champions league? You’re so far gone from the zone of what’s realistically feasible with Raul’s creatures

Hey, sunshine!

How are you doing today?

Those Atletico players won't be celebrating in that changing room, they'll be sitting in there crying because they'll never be as good as Liverpool! What a fucking idiot! 😆

He clearly never watches Atletico play. Liverpool didn't batter them, this is how they play against everyone. They just defend their box like demented pitbulls. How many clear chances did Liverpool have? The two goals they scored and that's it. Oblak, despite the commentators trying to call him a hero, didn't make one standout save all night; just some decent ones and he defended his box very well from crosses amd low shots.

I think Liverpool had several big chances, one of them hitting the crossbar, and that Oblak had at least two great saves. Not that it matters much, just glad they're gone.

As a former owner of an American Staffordshire Terrier for some reason this made me 😆

Henderson so bitter 😆

I forgot the one onto the cross bar tbf!

Who cares though, as you say, they're gone! Let's be glad about that. 🙂

With both this, the FA Cup and not being invincible, they'll never be remembered as one of the greats. Such a relief.

In the future Old Quincy will pull up a rocking chair next to his grandchildren and be all: "Have I ever told you kids who won Premier League back in 2020?" and the wee wide-eyed children will reply: "Wasn't that the year of corona when everyone lost, grandpa Quincy???" And Quincy, busying himself with a mega pack of Werthers Original with a satisfied look on his face, will say: "That's right, that's right" while softly rocking back and forth.

I’m going to watch this game again on weekend.
I thought Atletico were lucky early on. So many good Pool chances. The low Ox shot, Robertson header off the bar, Salah dancing through the crowd and sending it just wide, and the two Mané overhead kicks in quick succession. They had lots of territory but were never able to intimidate Atletico

Very impressed with Felipe tonight. I thought he was solid in the center of their defense.

Even former Man City flop Stefan Savic has looked competent under Simeone.

yeah but how many times were Pool in a similar position in the league this season? They can't complain.

Watching PSG game. Hakimi just let Neymar glide loose for the first headed goal
Tough for PSG to have to start Cavani ahead of Mbappe after the latter’s throat infection. Cavani isn’t half the player Mbappe is now. Defense can push up and not overly worked

At least there's justice in football. I think they will go on to lose more matches in PL as they struggle to recover the hurt. Didn't realise this is the first time Liverpool is not in the final of a European competition since Klopp took over though, pretty impressive stat.


😆

PSG is embarassing though, putting up fireworks and celebrating like they won the UCL.

Liverpool just played cross and hope all night. Does Klopp think his team are prime Barca?

They didn't get to a final in 2017, so that stat is wrong.

62 crosses apparently 😆 Moyes would be proud yet Klopp says he doesn't understand why Atletico play like this while they have so many great players. Used to be such a pleasant man but just shows Liverpool is not a club but a mental illness

Two goals in 210 minutes of raging impotent attacks yet their fans think it's all Adrian's fault.

Pathetic from Klopp in his post-match interview last night, and he knew it too.

I saw a stat last night that Alexander-Arnold gave the ball away 41 times! His defending was an embarrassment whenever Atletico went anywhere near him; for Llorente's first goal and Morata's right at the end, the kid shows he has no defensive awareness whatever; he might be able to see a forward pass/cross but he is thick as a brick defensively. Very lucky he plays at a time when there is such an inbalance between the biggest clubs and the rest.

Even then he has 5 measly open play assists in 40 games this season! You would think he's prime Dani Alves the way some of you (and other fans) talk about "Trent". It really bugs me that when he is judged as an attacking fullback his set-piece assists are just thrown into the mix as if they are relevant in any way to his attacking play as a fullback. Yes, he takes a decent to good dead ball, but Liverpool are a good team to take them for because they get an awful lot of them and have some very big guys to hit; van Dijk is almost a cheat code player. There are numerous other players who have better delivery in this league that would get superior numbers if you swapped them in to take them; James Maddison would have about 20 by now!

No one talks about his defending because everyone knows it's shit: even Atletico's turtle paced players were dancing round him on the rare ocassions they got up the pitch, but as an attacking fullback the reason he only has 5 assists in 40 games despite playing for such a dominant team is because he has average pace, very poor acceleration and agility, dodgy close control (which is why a lot of his good passing and crossing comes from deep positions where he gets the time and space on the ball he needs: he'd be completely ineffective if he played as a winger or in midfield where many think he'll end up; he won't), and he couldn't beat a man from a standing start even if said defender was a clone of himself!

I really like his forward passing from deep areas and he is very good at quickly sensing the right area to hit a cross into; those are his great strengths, but the downsides to his attacking game are there and when you stop conflating his overall assists with his open play assists, the numbers bear that out.

Nasty dickhead too. Only reason he isn't regarded as an Alli clone is because Liverpool haven't lost enough for his nastiness to be more in display

In Trent's defense, if he keeps putting in the hard work in training he could be at least half as good as Saka one day.
