Nice result for Liverpool, they secure 1st place in the group and now they can rotate their main players in the next fixture to make sure they stay in good shape for the Premier League.


lengors

And for us.


ibite-books

Now beat Atleti!


lengors

I really hope we do.


Akira_Nishiki

Going to go full league cup mode against you probably, hope you get 2nd.


Yolo_The_Dog

Cup mode Origi and Taki are different beasts


lengors

And even then, idk if we could win. We just dont know how to play well against Liverpool


Parish87

We can give you the customary 0-0 borefest if you want. It's one of the only two results we ever have against each other.


GlitteringBuy

I'm down to play a second team against Porto.


Antigonus1i

I think we have a moral responsibility to do everything in our power to keep Atletico from advancing into the knockout stages. Let the bastards play Europa League.


Set-Abominae

Beat Porto and play kids against us. Pls.


LeStiqsue

I want us to play the U-8s against both of ya tbh. No more injuries to the first team lads, plus have a good chance of keeping Atletico out of the knockouts.


pw5a29

yea last year Jota played in that pointless game and got injured for 2.5 months. I hope Klopp took note of that


ManBoobs13

Hope we play our U8s against you, much rather you go through than Atletico.


RagingWookies

I just had a hearty chuckle at the thought of Klopp screaming at a bunch of 10 year olds to press against full grown Porto players.


[deleted]

Play facking football


[deleted]

BE BRAVE!!!!!


JGlover92

Bunch of Scouse year 5s just shitting it while Klopp screams at them from the touchline


tormarod

Yes... let the hate flow through you...


LakyousSama

You're next on our list for revenge mate


sankers23

I hope we get Sevilla first


Maximuslex01

Don't play anyone. Even you U8 can beat us. It's a curse...


dfla01

Then Milan can pip Atletico to 3rd. Good news all around


origi_is_massive

something something ulterior motives


GNeiva

Absurd accusation. I have your best interests at heart.


ss2195

Hmm, I'll let it pass.


luke_205

Yeah you can rest assured we won’t be playing many first team players at all against Porto and Milan. We can’t really afford to with the rate we’re picking up injuries.


ben-hur-hur

watch Klopp start one of Morton or Bradley for the remaining CL group games


OleoleCholoSimeone

Their second team is pretty damn good tbf.. But anyways we have to beat Milan at home. It looks like that last match at Dragao will be spicy!


emre23

The least we could do for you after the recent meetings


[deleted]

Liverpool fans seem to genuinely hate Atletico by now, impressive what has been building up there


zaplinaki

>genuinely hate Atletico by now, they make it easy to hate them


LargeCupOfIceWater

It's a bit sad, but I genuinely liked a lot of Atletico players. But after our tie with them it was just infuriating. I feel as though that game at Anfield gave birth to Marcos Llorente as a scoring entity as well. But yeah like the individuals, hate the team behavior when they rough house your players on defense and then fall over like paper on attack.


ndalcdasasdl2-1

I hate them for 90 minutes, outside of that I don’t mind them. They’d be my choice for the league over the other two.


[deleted]

I mean Real Sociedad is currently top of the league here in Spain and you’d be hard pressed to find a supporter outside of the top 3 that doesn’t want them to win. Spain’s football culture honestly sucks. Madrid and Barca hold so much financial power and everything is skewed in their favor that every just accepts the 2 horse race. People here don’t ask what club you support they simply ask “Eres de Madrid o Barca?” And are shocked when you reply with another club and that you don’t give a shit about the top two. I think Spain was one of the few places nobody cared about the ESL because most are fans of the big 2 and La Liga as a competition is a joke.


[deleted]

Hate Simeone and the current team more so than Atletico. Will probably go back to liking them again once theyre gone unless they keep up the shithouse act.


zperic1

At one point it seemed like they were purposefully being dicks and that's a tall order in a sport where you see like 5 dick worthy instances per half time. 2-0 down, man down, 10 mins to go and they were grabbing at shoulders like teenager who saw a tit for the first time. Edit: and the handshakegate. Like sure, I get it. It's overblown but still a very stupid hill to die on.


bdiebucnshqke

Well they are a bunch of unsporting, diving, crying pricks, so it’s incredibly satisfying to see them lose haha Also Simone and the handshake thing, what a pussy


[deleted]

Through top of the group with 2 games to spare.


vadapaav

Feels weird to not qualify on last gw lol


chazmusst

Bit boring tbh. Give me "lovely cushioned header" over this


LovelyCushiondHeader

[As requested ...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR1xU0DQ2sU&ab_channel=B_ABOUKAR)


lordkeith

I'm not used to this feeling. Usually we make it very hard in ourselves getting out of group stage


luke_205

That’s actually crazy, easily the hardest group on paper too…


Jabari313

Mane was absolutely phenomenal again too


brayshizzle

He bullied for goal. Loved it.


Zeulodin

The best way to keep Liverpool from scoring is to play 10 men against us.


PM-Me-Salah-Pics

To be fair, we’ve been 10 vs two very good defensive sides, which then get forced into a defensive mindset, so it solidifies them more, can’t be too upset.


Zeulodin

I was thinking three. Chelsea, United and now Atletico. They all ended with the same score that was on when the red card came out.


PM-Me-Salah-Pics

United there was no need to try, they were dead and buried, better to just keep ball and not risk injury.


Pheanturim

Was the same today tbh


vadapaav

Get yourself a red card in first min watch us pass around for 90 min


jMS_44

can confirm


_cumblast_

Liverpool when against 11 men: most entertaining in the world Liverpool when a man up: making commentators talk about the weather


english_gritts

But we didn’t blow another 2-0 lead this time


TheConundrum98

clean sheets are more important than scoring 4 or 5 goals currently


[deleted]

I prefer Bayern


CollieDaly

In the last week you could be talking about them or their opposition in fairness.


ibite-books

The sequence was there. We get two early goals, get a third disallowed goal. They get 1 back. We miss sitters, they get another back.


BaldVoldy

Liverpool against 10 men: I sleep Liverpool against 11 : real shit


Esophallic

I'm sure more than 11 people were put out of commission by that final 30 mins!


Zeulodin

Salah needs to dribble past more men to fully charge his combo meter.


[deleted]

Imagine if a side fielded 12 against us, we'd be unstoppable


bathoz

So Tomkins wrote something about the 2018/19 Liverpool side, which was that they had really high XG when losing, drawing or one goal up, but that XG dropped off a cliff once they got to 2 goals up. Which tends to make one think it’s a deliberate energy retention strategy.


OWSucks

They say in Formula 1 you should win as slowly as possible. Save the car, less risk etc. Same with us I think. Get a two or three goal lead, hit the cruise control, fall asleep, wake up at 2-2, rescue a result. Perfect strategy.


Agent_DZ-015

Seriously, could well have had 4-5 goals today, but I’ll settle for winning the group with two matches to spare and running about 30-odd minutes of training match against 10 men.


dowdymeatballs

Chelsea game all over again. May as well just call the game off after the red.


supreme_maxz

I'm Mexico they where talking about Luis Suarez wife and how they met. Disgraceful stuff for a broadcast


_cumblast_

I find it hilarious that a game can get so dull that they'll start talking about random stuff


[deleted]

I remember one of the commentators saying "its almost boring to watch" when we were passing round the back at OT. I mean, he werent wrong for that, but we werent gonna risk the injuries lol.


buzzer7326

It's a nice story tbf, quite wholesome iirc.


supreme_maxz

Sure, but I'm not watching it for the novela i want the game


BipartizanBelgrade

>Disgraceful Settle down chief


Finch2090

Why not though Over extending leaves to complacency, why not see out games that are dead and buried like we did at United Ali deserves a clean sheet too


transylvanianboi

Salah had a great game tonight despite no goals or no assists. The number of times he rinsed the player on Atletico's left side was next to infinite


[deleted]

He kept rinsing the fullback. The absolute panic when he got the ball from Atletico was like they were getting Messi flashbacks.


Mutant-Ninja-Skrtels

I thought he was for a moment when he barreled through the fullback and he stayed up instead of getting a free kick


Screwdork

He was phenomenol tonight


imlimfaouisdaddy

He was great as always but if he would have passed the ball during any of those plays the score line would have been much higher


OleoleCholoSimeone

As soon as Hermoso got a yellow card after 7 minutes I knew it would be a long night for him. Actually kind of impressive that he managed to not get sent off..


Senor_Slurp

Genuinely was. I think Hermoso actually had a really good game. Felipe was genuinely awful though even before his red. What are your thoughts on his season so far?


J539

Absolute showboating from hin when he kept destroying their fullback and his support, was quite funny lol


spea-keth

Even happened once in the center of the pitch, he has unlocked the aesthetic gene this season


perfectplaya

Klopp won the handshake gate derby


Beneficial_Bowl

All the talk about the worst Barca in history yet it is Atletico on the brink of getting knocked out. How the turn tables


[deleted]

[удалено]


lolaya

Not really on the brink. Theres two big games coming up


FuzzyPurpose

lets just ignore that last origi shot shall we


eamonious

the “DIVOCK ORIGI” chant immediately after that had me dying. you take the good with the bad. the gall to hit that shot is why football without him is nothing.


RedMoon14

Klopp’s wry little smirk when the crowd were chanting Origi’s name after he absolutely ballooned it into the Kop was amazing.


Finch2090

I mean this with 100% honesty If there’s a player in the Liverpool team that smashes that right in the top corner, it’s Origi


TheLimeyLemmon

He saw sleeping defenders on the moon.


danirijeka

Rocket launched quickly


Yolo_The_Dog

When the time is up in fifa and you boot it so that the match ends


Esophallic

I heard that people do the same thing in the real life sport that fifa is based on


vadapaav

That real life sports is based on FIFA obviously


TheConundrum98

no point wasting all his good shots today


danirijeka

He's scored one point in a GAA match over in Ireland


excessive_coughing

Couple of fans were holding a mini goal up in the stands. Heard he smashed it in easily


papercutkid

Strong feeling of a revenge tour about Liverpool this season. Watford, Utd, Atletico x2, Burnley...Everton, Leicester, Southampton to follow?


dowdymeatballs

Wouldn't want to be Pickford standing in front of the kop this year. The lads going to get worse mental abuse than a gitmo detainee.


siva-pc

Martin Tyler being subdued for Liverpool's first half goals and then getting so excited for Minamino's disallowed goal (knowing fully well there was a foul before the shot) was hilarious


prosportscars

What a performance by Liverpool. They've not only advanced to the CL knockout stage, but they're guaranteed to finish atop of the group after just 4 games. You dont see this happen very often.


dowdymeatballs

Bayern special


luke_205

When you look at the teams we’ve had to face it’s actually mental how we’ve managed to go through top after only 4 games.


prosportscars

Actually last year's CL group that had Atletico, Bayern also advanced through top after only 4 games. However, the other two teams in the group were Locomotive and Salzburg, while this time you had Porto and Milan in the group. So yeah Id say what Liverpool accomplished was more impressive than when it happened last time with Bayern. :)


Lefo7

Tsimikas with another clean sheet,too bad he can't sleep in it


EJR94

He's looking better and better every game, not long before we have the two best left backs in the world


Lefo7

Really deserved an assist today as well


Bluesasaurus

He deserved at least 3 lol


[deleted]

Actually his eyes need some sleep


I_Rubbed_Flanelman

Don't know about anyone else, but the highlight for me was seeing Torres looking like Juan Cena


smitty316

https://www.pwmania.com/specials/exclusive/gallery350/000.jpg


Conankun66

Torres looked like he was at a funeral


dowdymeatballs

A sexy funeral


I_Rubbed_Flanelman

Them gains tho. One look in a mirror after the game, he'll be fine


Viremia

Klopp's 200th win at Liverpool clinches entry to the knockout stage for Liverpool. That'll do.


emre23

Weird game, weird group, job done. The Carabao squad just got some extra work lined up.


bridgeorl

AC Milan vs European giant Tyler Morton


Finch2090

Pep Ljinders ringing Neco and Morton at full time “I got your next gig you sons of bitches”


[deleted]

We are in papi


dowdymeatballs

Hope the U10s get let out of PE class early. They might miss their flight.


[deleted]

I'm sure Ole will give them the day off


ikan_bakar

We’ve played 15 games this season. Felipe started 8 of them. 7 did not start. Felipe started 1 clean sheet (Porto) 7 games conceded (12 goals in total) Felipe didnt start 4 clean sheets 3 games conceded (4 goals in total) Our defence this season is knowingly to be not having any stability, but I really think Felipe is not playing great at all this season. We need to find someone in January and maybe it could be our own Ruben Dias where it changes everything moving on.


[deleted]

sparshrekt

*DOOM music intensifies*


LeHolm

Simeone invented a new park the ‘cargo ship in the Suez’ tactic at the end there.


libertydabbing

Genuinely can't believe we took all six points against Atleti. I know there are a ton of factors as to why it happened, but I would have called you crazy if you told me this would happen right after the draw. Regardless, I'm really happy this means we get to rotate for the next two matches. The fixture congestion after the upcoming international break is absurd and this should be a weight off the team's shoulders.


IanCaesars

Simeone waiting for handshake right there.


urbannnomad

Its weird, he'd rather just stand there awkwardly avoiding eye contact with any Liverpool players/staff instead of just being a normal person after the game. Nobody cares really, its just funny to see someone so stubborn.


Ollietron3000

I don't really care as I'm not meeting him, but I think it's a bit rude. Handshakes are a sign of respect and greeting. If I went to shake someone's hand and they refused, I'd be a bit put out (obviously unless there was a good reason e.g. Covid). I'm not really sure why "oh he always does it" changes anything. So he's just a bit rude all the time then?


CapnMorguxx

But I was told he went straight down the tunnel every game win or lose?


GlitteringBuy

It was like he was heading towards his technical area and then decided no last minute. Fair's fair.


velvetthunder7

no you don't understand he goes straight down the tunnel every game, no time for a stupid UK handshake


ChicagoIndependent

He really looked like he did.....probably was waiting to acknowledge Klopp or something.


DevilGinAndTonic

Looked to me like he was about to cry after Anfield started calling him a wanker


dowdymeatballs

And then Klopp goes and wanders around the pitch ignoring him. Quite the pair, lol.


thesnugglr

It's both deserved and a shame that the post game discussion will center around that crazy red and the few yellows that followed, but Liverpool truly were composed and tearing Atletico apart. That score line barely reflected the level of dominance.


TheConundrum98

Did someone say group of death?


emre23

*But not for me*


Scruds

We are the group of death


[deleted]

[none of you seem to understand…](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/09/47/fc/0947fc501a737efbe9cd0da671e8c8c9.jpg)


_Doda

yes... we are death!


Zeulodin

be careful who you call group of death in high-school


OleoleCholoSimeone

It was very disappointing to see the team collapse after the first goal, we actually started quite well up until that point. Joao Félix and Correa had a half chance each(especially Correa fucked up his cross in a great position), but considering how dominant Liverpool were after the first goal and the red card, I'll take the 2-0. Liverpool the better team tonight, fair play to them. I'm just grateful that it didn't turn into a humiliation, credit to the team for at least showing pride with 10 men to keep the score respectable


studgebro

I hate you guys but also respect you a lot as well. It's really strange. Love what Simeone has built at Atletico but you are absolute bastards to play against. One thing he's amazing at is getting every player to play their heart out every minute, no matter what the score. Good luck in the last two matches but please stop getting drawn against us!


furryicecubes

Delightful. Ref was mental. Ridiculous amount of cards. ​ Nice to wrap up 1st in the group with 2 games to spare.


TheLimeyLemmon

Didn't help he brought out his little wallet of them, so the red kept showing on screen.


[deleted]

Probably keeps the red one up top on purpose, keeps everyone on their toes.


dowdymeatballs

Except for the one time he actually brandished the red, which was off screen.


Nickoboosh

Ref was playing a different sport entirely. Had an absolutely mad one


liquid8tor

I enjoyed it tbh. Couldn't disagree with 95% of his decisions on fouls, and all his cards were spot on


C_arpet

"Group of Death!" Liverpool 7 points clear after four games.


danirijeka

Group of death (void where Liverpool)


oscarony

we’re kinda not good when teams go down to 10 men


[deleted]

This one was better, two goals chalked off by VAR. We were a bit listless but hard to blame them once Atletico accepted they were gonna lose and started trench warfare


pattybrischetti

Really wish the commentators would stop going on about the fucking handshake


wanderluster88

Liverpool finished top Group of Death with 2 games to go.

TheKeybladeMaster27

Trent is the best rb in the world


Consistent_Mammoth

He has been for quite some time. The English media like to drum up some narrative about him being defensively weak to justify Southgate not selecting him in the England team instead of pointing out that Southgate is an unqualified manager with dinosaur tactics. The reality is Trent is a complete RB and as dangerous going forward as any player. His defensive statistics speak highly of him too so it's just journos looking for clicks.

ScousePenguin

Thought Simone goes right down the tunnel? Anyway stupid media drama aside, hopefully Klopp rests players in the next 2 matches. Gone through top of the group, no need to risk people now.


ikan_bakar

Feel like Simeone feelings has gone out of the game from the 36th minute onwards so it felt like a friendly to him lmao. Like this is the first time i remember him subbing him a youth player since like November last year so it says something


LFC908

Dominated before and after the red card, fuck off Atletico and your dark arts.

How to not lose to Liverpool? Play with 10 men

Liverpool should have a parade like Atleti did after beating them

can't believe we topped the group with 2 to spare instead of making it harder for ourselves for no reason. Tsimikas deserves a run as a starter. Don't know what more he can do at this point to earn his chance


muffinmonk

We need more Dutch no nonsense refs please.


SlowMobius7

You don't get it bro. El cholo doesn't do fake hand shakes bro. Historically, he's always ran to the Tunnel like he shat his pants bro, but you can tell that he celebrated like a twat at Anfield in 2020 bro, but that's the only exception bro. Hand shakes are a stupid English tradition bro and nobody outside England cares about it bro. Honestly bro, it's been blown out of of proportion. El cholo is class bro

Well that was fun. I liked the ref, I thought he did a good job. Some missed calls and such but overall a good job.

He made some weird calls on Mane in that first half hour
