Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid LIVE: Champions League result, final score and reaction tonight

All the fallout from Anfield

Liverpool train ahead of hosting Atletico Madrid in UCL

Liverpool are through to the Champions League last-16 two games early, after securing a fourth group-stage victory on Wednesday night courtesy of a 2-0 win over Atletico Madrid.

Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane netted first-half goals for Jurgen Klopp’s side, while Diego Simeone’s men saw their attempts to get back into the game all but disappear after Felipe was shown a straight red card for a challenge on Mane. Both Jota and Luis Suarez saw goals ruled out for marginal offside calls at either end in the second half, while the Reds spurned several other opportunities to move even further clear on the scoreboard.

Ultimately it mattered little, with top spot now guaranteed for Liverpool even with two group matches still left to play, while Klopp was also boosted by the return of Fabinho and Thiago Alcantara after injury - but lost Roberto Firmino in the second half. Atletico, meanwhile, sit third in the group, a point behind Porto who they play in the final gameweek.

Liverpool 2 - 0 Atletico Madrid

59 mins: Atletico have a goal disallowed! A free kick from the centre circle is looped over the Liverpool defence. Gimenez is first to the ball and he heads it down for Suarez. The former Liverpool striker shoots from just inside the box, his effort deflects wildly of Matip to wrongfoot Alisson and the ball finishes in the back of the net.

But, VAR takes a look at the goal and Gimenez is marginally offside as the ball comes over to him so the goal is scratched off much to the delight of the Liverpool fans.

Liverpool 2 - 0 Atletico Madrid

56 mins: Joao Felix was shown a yellow card for his previous tackle on Fabinho and Atletico need to be really careful not to lose another man. They’re picking up cards for fun.

Chance! Van Dijk plays the ball out to Tsimikas on the left wing. He shrugs off Correa and whips a cross into the box. Jota is wide open but misses the ball going for a header and the ball bounces over the bar off his shoulder! How’s he missed that?
