Defending Champions, Liverpool, are on course to exit the Uefa Champions League after Tuesday night's 1-0 loss to Atletico Madrid.

Klopp's men will have more to do at Anfield if they want to retain their Uefa Champions League trophy this season.

If anyone is up to the task, it's Liverpool, having overturned a 3-0 deficit against another Spanish side, Barcelona, in the UCL last term. They went on to win the return leg 4-0

Diego Simeone's side would prove a tougher nut to crack due to their defensive ability as they head to Anfield for the second leg on Wednesday, 11 March.
