John Barnes has warned Liverpool that Atletico Madrid will prove a much sterner test than the Barcelona side they beat in the Champions League last year. The Reds were defeated 1-0 in the first leg at the Wanda Metropolitano, the first of three losses in their last four games in all competitions. Jurgen Klopp’s side are seasoned European comeback specialists at Anfield, and turned around a 3-0 deficit against Barcelona in the semi-finals of last year’s competition, winning the tie 4-3.
Liverpool legend Barnes told Sky Sports: ‘I think it’s different playing Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. You say Barcelona is a better team than Atletico, but not defensively. ‘If they have to defend a lead and have 20% possession and not concede that’s what Diego Simeone does. ‘So, it was a huge shock to Barcelona, but I think it will be more difficult against Atletico.’ Atletico’s Saul scored the only goal of the game in the first leg (Picture: Getty Images) After the Atletico defeat, Liverpool subsequently lost their unbeaten record in the Premier League with a 3-0 defeat at Watford, and also crashed out of the FA Cup at the hands of Chelsea. Barnes added: ‘In the last 18 months we can’t criticise them [Liverpool] in any shape or form. ‘There’s a lot being made about they’ve lost three of the last four, I’d prefer to think we’ve lost three, four including one last season, in the last 70 or 80 matches.

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone admitted there will be few surprises from him or his team on Wednesday as they seek to hold on to a 1-0 advantage in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Liverpool.

A home win three weeks ago gives them something to hang on to and throughout his career as a coach Simeone has produced sides which are masters at defensive resilience.

"I think it is one of our qualities; it is a very solid quality we have," said the Argentine, who has won two Europa League titles and reached two Champions League finals during his time in charge.


Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says Wednesday's Champions League opponents Atletico Madrid are one of the best in world football
"If I tell you my plans for the game it wouldn't be logical. I think they [Liverpool] know how we will play after eight years of being here.

"We have to keep what we can during the game. Some managers will say 'we are going to get forward'. That would be a nice pleasant dream.

"But all the thoughts I have before a game it is down to how much you are motivated on the field.

"Opponents might make you suffer at times in a game, they [Liverpool] have always played almost always with a high line.

It will be a tough opponent with lots of ways of hurting you in attack. Experiences in life always help you but you have to make sure you don't repeat mistakes.

"We almost always compete really well at a high level. Tomorrow the game will demand that we are on top form. We think we can hurt them."

There is a minor fitness doubt over former Real Madrid and on-loan Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata but Simeone is confident he will be ready.



Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool will be without goalkeeper Alisson for Wednesday's Champions League last-16 second leg against Atletico Madrid
"We will look at him in training and we will see how he is then," he added. "You know pretty much what I will be doing. I don't think our line-up will be far off from what you think it might be."

Liverpool overturned a 3-0 deficit in last year's semi-final to beat another La Liga side, Barcelona, at Anfield last May and the Atletico boss is well aware of how the atmosphere there can be an advantage.

"I've never played here as a manager or a player but it is an amazing stadium and you can tell on the TV the fans are amazing and get behind their side," he said.

I don't go out to watch matches,so,I will stay indoor hoping Liverpool comes from behind winning 2:0.

Astark:
Do you know atletico Madrid has been training with 9 men against 11 since last 2 weeks? Simeone is a mad man.

Do you also know Liverpool has lost twice to atletico in a champions league knock out?

Do you know no team has ever eliminated Simeone atletico since 2013 without Ronaldo in that team?

This match is a war and my money is on atletico Madrid

luvola:
Thunder fire Atletico. You will witness Anfield horror come next month.
