Too strong too early last year and finally eliminated from the eighth by PSG, Liverpool tackles a new Champions League campaign among the favorites, with its title of champion of England.
This Wednesday, to launch their first round, the Reds face the Atlético de Madrid of Antoine Griezmann, a formidable opponent but at the start of a new cycle, which should allow him to gauge himself.
Always led by Diego Simeone, Atlético finds the European scene with few certainties. The fault of a missed championship, which saw him conceded dummies against Elche (1-1) and Alavés (1-1). The Colchoneros reassured each other last weekend, with a nice victory against Villarreal (2-0) … while Liverpool had to wait for additional time to win in Burnley (0-1), on a penalty from Mohamed Salah.
The kick-off of the Liverpool-Atlético match in Madrid is scheduled for Wednesday, September 17, at 9 p.m. The meeting will be followed live on Canal+ Foot.
