The Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid live stream ushers in the return of the Champions League as both sides look to get their campaign off to a positive start.
Liverpool will be looking to repeat the form they showed in last season’s league phase of the competition when they finished top of the table. The Reds have started the season in impressive fashion, winning all four Premier League games, and will hope to keep that momentum going against Atletico Madrid. However, they’ll expect a tough challenge against a well-drilled side and will hope not to have to rely on late goals to seal all three points.
In contrast to Liverpool, Atletico have struggled for results at the start of the campaign, only winning their first game of the season at the weekend. Currently 11th in the La Liga table, they also have some injury concerns, with Alex Baena, Jose Gimenez and Thiago Almada all sidelined. They may have been handed a tough start at Anfield, but they also showed last season they can be a danger in Europe, ending the league stage with six wins from eight games.
