Liverpool knocked out of Champions League in stunning fashion

March 12, 2020 by Don Saint 0 Comments

Atletico Madrid stunned Liverpool with three goals in extra time to knock the holders out of the Champions League.

With the tie level at the end of the 90 minutes thanks to Georginio Wijnaldum’s header, Roberto Firmino looked to have scored the tie-winning goal just four minutes into extra time.

But two goals from substitute Marcos Llorente in the space of eight minutes, the first courtesy of a howler from stand-in keeper Adrian, drew the sides level on the night and gave Atletico the lead on aggregate.

Anfield was stunned into total silence as coach Jurgen Klopp looked bemused on the touchline, arms held out disbelievingly.

Alvaro Morata scored the third in the final few seconds to secure a memorable 4-2 aggregate win for Atletico.

This stadium had been the site of one of the greatest ever Champions League comebacks last season, as Liverpool overturned a 3-0 first-leg deficit against Barcelona to reach the final.

But last night, it was the site of one of Liverpool’s most painful European defeats.
