LIVERPOOL VS. ATLETICO MADRID
| Wednesday, September 9th |
Champions League | Anfield
8PM BST/3PM EST
Champions League is back, baby! Liverpool are riding high after their one-match winning streak over a recently-promoted team, and bang up to face off against a team that definitely hasn’t given The Reds headaches over the years (last year’s match somewhat ironically not included).
Sarcasm aside, it will be interesting to see how new gaffer Andoni Iraola approaches his first European campaign. It will also be interesting to see if players such as Frimpong and Gravenberch are indeed on the boss’s shit list, or if they were just rested for rotation.
