00:00I'm filled 50% of his Champions League goals have been scored here that is three in six let's see
00:06what can happen in the second half then can Liverpool put this one away or is there more
00:10still to come from Atletico Madrid who managed to get themselves back in this game and change
00:14the complexion of it let's get you back over to your commentary team it is Ali McCoy's done Darren
00:20Fletcher for the second half Laura thank you just on that the fact that he's got these three goals
00:24against Liverpool uh Llorente this might surprise you that only Karim Benzema has more goal
00:31involvements in the Champions League at Anfield against Liverpool than Llorente he's only got
00:36six in the Champions League in general three of them have been scored at Anfield against Liverpool
00:41remarkable that isn't it it is it's astonishing really when you think about it
00:45so the Atletico Madrid players out there Liverpool unbeaten by the way in their last 68 home games
00:57in all competitions when they lead at half-time since they lost to Atletico Madrid in March of 2020 so
01:03no changes here and we spent a lot of the hard time debating that off-site decision that didn't go
01:09Liverpool's way the goal that was allowed to stand I checked it with a very pre-eminent official who
01:15was equally surprised the goal wasn't ruled out based on the fact the ball went behind Antoine
01:21Griezmann and into that corner of the net so maybe that one went against Liverpool and I know you
01:26passionately feel that it should have been ruled out there's absolutely no way the goal should have
01:30stood because what you and I had a good chat about at half-time if the ball goes in the opposite corner
01:35yes it should be a goal but the fact as soon as the ball goes behind Griezmann
01:41he is affecting the goalkeeper because he's blocking the sight of the ball for the goalkeeper
01:47therefore in my opinion the goal should not have stood yeah absolutely brilliant I would agree
01:53wholeheartedly with what you've just said it's just not quite going to work out for Isak but
01:59they won't get the corner either just the throw in the Norman across both centre-backs of Atletico
02:05which we booked in the first half
02:06the long second half for them
02:10it's a different look to the game now that that goal on the stroke of half-time whether it should
02:18have stood or not it did stand and Liverpool as Alexis McAllister just having a chat with his
02:23manager Florian Vert's not quite able to keep it in play
02:27do you think he's got like multiple suits ties and shirts I mean because whenever you see him
02:43he's got the same gear on do you think he's just got like a whole wardrobe full of the same stuff
02:47I would suggest he's got one foot every day of the week yeah
02:50he certainly carries it off doesn't he absolutely
02:56just looking down there it's Atletico Madrid who have got the substitutes warming up
03:05nobody from Liverpool so Isak's going to be out there for the foreseeable future
03:08based on there's no activity down there on the Liverpool bench as yet
03:14no good one there for Canate
03:24great strength again wasn't it physicality the two centre-backs have got
03:29really enjoyed Gravenberg's performance yeah so far tonight
03:33it's been a complete display in central midfield by the Dutchman
03:37stand out opening 45 minutes yeah I think so
03:40couldn't disagree with that done
03:43there's been a revelation hasn't he since Arna Slott became the manager
03:47just need to get that tempo back up again Liverpool don't they what they started with
03:58Gakpo selling Robertson a bit short
04:04Pablo Barrios Antoine Griezmann now González
04:09fortunately breaks for Raspidori and then on to Galan down this side
04:14there's another ricochet that favours Atletico Madrid and Raspidori on the
04:19return ball from Griezmann was trying to get in
04:21Griezmann with a tantalising cross that's cleared away by Van Dijk
04:27must say Ali after 10 minutes you think they're going to get swamped here
04:35Atletico Madrid but they've shown great character
04:36they have
04:37and they've actually been very impressive
04:41with the use of the ball
04:42since going 2-0
04:44Simeone when it goes down via Gallagher to Barrios
04:57Alexis McAllister's been sent out to warm up and so has Hugo Eketique
05:05it's an Atletico Madrid team who've only won four of their last 14 away matches in the Champions League
05:14they've only kept one clean sheet during that run as well
05:29it's a lovely ball to Bert and a lovely take by the German as well
05:33it's a lovely ball to Bert and a lovely take by the German as well
05:36it's a lovely ball to Bert and a lovely take by the German as well
05:40Alexander Isak
05:49Andy Robertson
05:52Gagpo
05:56Robertson
05:59in towards Isak just a fraction high, the header away from Longley
06:10and the decision is a push in there by a Liverpool player
06:15my chair's gone as well now Ali
06:18oh dear
06:23we've got collapsing chairs, yours in the first half and mine in the second
06:34oh dear, there's Koke
06:36I thought he might have started
06:39oh dear
06:41he's out, Longley
06:42Ed
06:54Kim
07:07Si
07:09Llorente, a goal just before half-time has changed things here, Griezmann.
07:26Headed away by Canate, straight back to Antoine Griezmann.
07:32Marcos Llorente, now Connor Gallagher.
07:35Griezmann on the ball again.
07:37Slides one through to Raspidori.
07:39Looking on the door again, Atletico Madrid, and that's beaten away by Alisson.
07:44I think in fact González was hoping for the pullback, he was the one in the best position.
07:50Great skill, he just takes that extra touch, which gives him the half-yard, brilliant.
07:58Takes him away from Gravenberg, he tries to get a hold of him.
08:01If anything, the finish should have been down at the goalkeeper's feet.
08:06Nice play.
08:07Offside flag up this time against Nicolas González.
08:19So Koke's ready.
08:22He is very much dyed in the wool with Atletico Madrid.
08:27He's coming on to replace Giacomo Raspidori.
08:42So Koke on to play his 689th game for Atletico Madrid.
08:49He's 33, joined the club when he was eight.
08:51Fantastic, isn't it?
08:52Most appearances all time.
08:55He's made the most appearances in the Champions League in club history as well.
09:00So, a very, very experienced player to come on at this time.
09:04Particularly in this day and age dance, brilliant to see.
09:08Brilliant feat from Salah.
09:10Took three of them at the end to get the ball back, but he immediately wins it again.
09:13And now Florian Virts from Liverpool towards Isak.
09:16And that's away by Llorente.
09:18It's a little bit unlucky, but he just about tries to flip one round the corner in the path of Isak.
09:22Soboslai, no foul, Florian Virts.
09:31Salah.
09:34Clearly for a handball, he did strike the arm, it's just where it was.
09:38It's chronic alicate.
09:42That's a nice ball by Canate, well taken by Virts, steering the ball in, but it's behind Isak.
09:48Didn't have the pace to find Gakpo.
09:49And Barrios can bring it away now for Atletico Madrid.
09:54I mentioned Salah using his body for the second goal.
09:57Virts did the exact same there.
09:59Fabulous take.
10:01And Griezmann played it forward quickly.
10:04He's looking for the run there of Gonzalez, tied it up by Canate.
10:07And now Ekotike is getting stripped for Liverpool,
10:09so maybe this is going to be it tonight for Alexander Isak.
10:14He's looked lively enough anyway.
10:16This is the last we're going to see him this evening.
10:18It's got to be a double change, Alexis McAllister getting himself ready as well.
10:21There's the Merseyside derby at the weekend, so he's got to think about that as well on a slot.
10:25He's got to be a double change, he's got to be a double change.
10:35There's the moment, he's got to be a double change, he's got to be a double change.
10:38Florian Burtz, Jeremy Frimpop.
10:46Reflected behind for a corner, off Conor Gallagher.
10:51He was getting fouled all the way.
11:00I want to see Conor Bradley as well, so three Liverpool changes all coming at the same time.
11:08The ball is taken by Wurtz for Liverpool, it's an important header away in there by Gonzalez.
11:32Now supports line, Frimpong.
11:38Wurtz towards the near post and that's taken by O'Black.
11:44So it looks as if they're going to take off Frimpong and Isak.
12:00And they send the substitutes on and we're also going to see Gakpo take a seat as well.
12:05So they're going to be the Liverpool changers.
12:07In the meantime there's a chance here for Burtz if he can get there.
12:10Now Cody Gakpo.
12:12There's a change coming for Atletico Madrid as well.
12:30Frimpong challenging, Gravenberg there for Liverpool.
12:37We're going to see Molina come on from Atletico Madrid at the same time.
12:42So change is coming.
12:44Gakpo for Liverpool.
12:48Swung in towards Dominic Suboslay, hooked away by Koke.
12:53Back in by Van Dijk.
12:57Koke there again.
13:00And then Longley, Gravenberg, Griezmann challenging and eventually Barrios can clear.
13:09Straight away though Liverpool have it back again with Frimpong.
13:14He's got a slogan it looks like there.
13:17Or is he just unhappy?
13:19He certainly reacted.
13:23He's fine which is good news.
13:26I don't know why but I think Liverpool fans are a little bit really concerned.
13:31More so when somebody like Van Dijk goes down than anybody else because he's key isn't he?
13:38So here come the changes.
13:44And an evasion for Isak.
13:46He's got 57 minutes under his belt the first time that he's played for Liverpool.
13:51And the crowd here at Anfield tonight have enjoyed watching him.
13:55He's going to be a factor at the weekend in the Merseyside Carvey.
13:58So Conor Bradley up for Frimpong.
14:00Edgar TK for Isak.
14:03And McAllister for Cody Gakpo.
14:14Looking to try and get his first goal in the Champions League tonight.
14:29Just looks as though Virts has moved out to the left-hand side to take up Gagpo's position.
14:36Dan McAllister gives him to see Gravenberg.
14:40Sob is mine.
14:42He's over there.
14:47Atletico Gakpo preparing to send on Alexander Sorlott as well.
14:50The centre forward.
14:51In the meantime Llorente doing the defending supported by Koke.
14:54Okay.
15:24.
15:32Conor Bradley, Mo Salah, Dominic Savoslai, that was neat and tidy from Liverpool.
15:39Watched it very well.
15:41Gothenburg finding Eketike.
15:46Wonderful balance.
15:51Gets the ball back again, didn't quite take it as well there.
16:00The pressure on Clement Longley, the crowd appreciated that work from the young Frenchman.
16:11Very popular, Sidney Hugo, Eketike's debut for France during the international break,
16:16so a lot's happened for him in the early weeks of the season.
16:21Gallagher's going to chase, Conor Bradley's there ahead of him.
16:26I think Eketike went down, but Liverpool have Florian Virch running through there,
16:43now it breaks to Salah.
16:45Saboslai back towards Salah, fantastic defending by Simeone.
16:51You nearly get the break there, didn't it?
16:53Saboslai nearly come back to him and try to play Salah through.
16:57I think he's only played into his path.
17:02He's only played into his path.
17:04He's there.
17:06So the two changes here for Atletico Madrid, Conor Gallagher replaced by Molina,
17:22and Alexander Solot, the Norway international, once of Crystal Palace,
17:27is coming on to replace Antoine Griezmann.
17:31The conversation down there between two men who've experienced most things in the game.
17:46Here's McAllister, playing his 100th game tonight for Liverpool,
17:59the Argentine World Cup winner, Virgil van Dijk.
18:05Bradley.
18:10Salah with a first-time ball in towards Gravenberg, it was intercepted by Llorente.
18:16Off goes Galland down this side.
18:24Barrios, Koke.
18:35The fact that Molina's come on, it's just changed the place of...
18:40Yeah.
18:41Llorente has gone to play further forward now.
18:46Here's Barrios.
18:57Definitely got pass out when he's going at pace.
18:59Bayern Munich have got a third goal, Harry Kane's got two tonight.
19:06So Bayern Munich three, Chelsea one, the Chelsea goal scored by Cole Palmer.
19:18Come up long late, Llorente.
19:22And Molina.
19:24Space now for Koke.
19:29Sawlott finding Simeone, that's got a bad ball in as well towards Gonzalez,
19:36headed on then in there by Galland.
19:41Still very much in the match, Atletico Madrid at 2-1,
19:43and they've got the quality out there to make it happen.
19:47They've been a lot better about things, Arles not, if Liverpool can get another goal.
19:50Yeah.
19:51That's the Atletico Madrid support, as you can hear at the moment inside Anfield.
20:03That's it, Darius.
20:04And by Llorente.
20:05That's it, Darius.
20:06And by Llorente.
20:07That's it, Darius.
20:08That's it, Darius.
20:09And by Llorente.
20:10That's it, Darius.
20:11And by Llorente.
20:12That's it, Darius.
20:13And by Llorente.
20:14That's it, Darius.
20:17And by Llorente.
20:30And by Llorente.
20:33Molina almost got himself in a bit of a tangle, and by Llorente now,
20:41Dyke out there for Liverpool, gets the block on the cross,
20:46and he's got the touch as well to get himself out of the hole.
20:53TK can't hold it, here's Koke.
20:59Simeone's done really well down that side.
21:05Delicate ball lifted in towards Llorente that was just a fraction high,
21:08and then Virts can bring Liverpool forward and find Dominic Subozlai,
21:13out it goes to Ekotike, first time back in for Subozlai,
21:17Virts is there as well, Salah!
21:19Oh, that would have been a wonderful goal.
21:22Oh, it was beautiful to watch, deserved a finish.
21:29I actually thought Subozlai and Virts get on each other's road at the end,
21:33but I was wrong, because I think Virts has a lovely pass to the right-hand side,
21:38to Salah, who should score.
21:41What a move again, though.
21:43Fantastic football from Liverpool, it just needed a finish at the end from Salah.
21:5125 minutes to go at Anfield.
21:54Bradley.
21:55That's behind Ekotike.
21:58What a counter that was.
22:00Barrios gives it away to Bradley, Salah's challenge straight away by Javier Galan.
22:13Push there on Sorlott by Canate, which went unpunished.
22:18Koke.
22:22Sorlott's gonna have a run down this side, it's a good ball by Koke.
22:26Nicholas Gonzalez has got into the box, Llorente's well forward as well,
22:31but that's not the best of passes by any stretch.
22:33He did well and spoiled it there.
22:35It's opened up all of a sudden the match, here's Mo Salah.
22:40Dominic Subozlai.
22:45Hugo Ekotike.
22:47He was teed up there by Florian Virts, I think he was caught in two minds,
22:51whether to go for power or subtlety.
22:53They both were, I think.
22:55I might actually think the better option is Virts.
22:58Volley with his left foot back across the goalkeeper,
23:00I think that's his initial thought.
23:03Decides to cut it back, he's got to think of hitting that,
23:05lays it back and it's an awkward height for him.
23:08And he doesn't know whether to try and go over it or go for the back post,
23:11and doesn't either.
23:13What a move this is.
23:14You just think they're getting in each other's road.
23:17Lovely ball outside the right foot from Virts.
23:19Salah, desperate unlucky.
23:25Everybody in the stadium expected that to be 3-1.
23:27Yeah.
23:40Koukang.
23:41It's all a lot to Barrios, Koukang once more.
23:55Javier Galan.
23:58It's Gonzalez.
23:59Ryan Grappenberg for Liverpool, supported by Mo Salah, and then by Conor Bradley.
24:09Challenge there was cheered by the Atletico Madrid supporters.
24:13There's genuine belief, I think, in that section of Anfield now,
24:15that they can get something tonight.
24:18Seemed highly unlikely at 2-0.
24:19Good closing down and good pressure, Gonzalez there.
24:32Excellent play from Koukang, had very little space to operate in.
24:35Melina.
24:40Troque must have had the most touches of anybody on the pitch since he's been on.
24:54Everything's gone through him.
24:57Here's Llorente, and it goes towards Sorlach, and that's well taken by Alisson.
25:04I suppose they've got that option now that Sorlach's on the pitch,
25:07they can be a little bit more direct if they want to be.
25:09Yeah, of course they can.
25:12Gives them a completely different option, doesn't he?
25:14Griezmann and Raspidori.
25:16.
25:21.
25:23.
25:29.
25:33.
25:37.
25:39.
25:41.
25:42.
25:46Galland there ahead of Hugo Eketike.
25:48.
25:49.
25:50.
25:51.
25:52.
25:53.

28:08.
28:09.
28:10.
28:11.
28:21.
28:22.
28:23.
28:24.
28:25.
28:26.
28:27.
28:28.
28:29.
28:30.
28:35.
28:36.
28:37.
28:38.
28:39.
28:40.
28:41The only thing I would say, he probably could have left that area for Virz.
28:45.
28:47He was in it originally, but from a goal scorer's point of view it's a good one.
28:52Going back by Ryan Graventer.
28:54.
28:59Liverpool are going to ascend on this wonderfully exciting and talented teenager Rio and Gamalak.
29:06Going to make his European debut for the club, there he is, he's ready, scored that
29:10wonderful goal at Newcastle to win the game.
29:16In the meantime, here's Simeone, and now Llorente.
29:21And they're not done yet, Atletico Madrid, by any stretch, and he's had another pop there Llorente.
29:26I like him, you know, the chair right now.
29:29I think they're appealing for a penalty here, you know.
29:30Is it a penalty?
29:31I thought it was a...
29:32Certainly seemed to take a deflection on the way through.
29:34Yeah.
29:40I think it's a deflection he's looking for.
29:44I'm not sure about the penalty, but...
29:49It might come off his foot, defender's foot.
29:54But he's looked lively, hasn't he?
29:58A hollow card for one of the Atletico Madrid staff, but it wasn't Simeone.
30:01Seemed quite calm down there, actually, Simeone, when he came over.
30:10So Florian Burtz is going off, and Rio N'Gamoa is coming off for Liverpool.
30:16European debut at the ripe old age of 17.
30:19We've seen flashes tonight, haven't we, from Florian Burtz.
30:27Oh, yes.
30:28Terrifically talented footballer.
30:30He's one-touch stopped his awareness of where his teammates are around him.
30:37It's a record-breaking moment for Rio N'Gamoa,
30:39who becomes Liverpool's youngest-ever player in European football.
30:43He's chasing this, just able to get there, Lenorma.
30:55He had to be getting his toes there as well,
30:59because Heke look really lively coming in the blind side of him.
31:03So, moving towards the final 15 minutes here at Anfield,
31:07Liverpool two up early on through Robertson and Salah.
31:10The goal on the stroke of half-time scored by Llorente
31:13that Ali said should have been disallowed for an offside.
31:16It wasn't even looked at by the referee.
31:20So, that's as we have it at the moment.
31:23Liverpool have hit the post in the second half through Salah.
31:29A little flick there by McAllister,
31:30but it only gives the ball back to the Spaniards.
31:33And it's Koke, Llorente.
31:39Simeone.
31:40Simeone with the cross and that deflects behind for the corner off Van Dijk.
31:45It might just be an excellent block,
31:57Cosalda has found himself in a little bit of space on the penalty spot there.
32:01in the meantime here's Simeone with the cross and that deflects behind for the corner of Van Dijk.
32:07It might just be an excellent block, Casalva found himself in a little bit of space on the penalty spot there,
32:13he just got the other side of Canati.
32:31So Gonzalez has been taken off, so Marc Pubil comes on to replace him.
32:53In goes the corner from Koke, headed away by Canati, flicked a little bit further by Salah.
33:01Forward by Molina, which looks out to be a nice ball to Koke.
33:09It's a little challenge off the ball that's brought Liverpool the free kick, it was on Alexis McAllister.
33:23He just seemed quite consensatory at times, didn't he?
33:26Yeah.
33:27Not the volcano that we see down there all too often.
33:30You don't make me sound a little disappointed.
33:32He seems in quite a good mood tonight, isn't he?
33:34Normally things like that send him over the edge.
33:37Yeah.
33:38I think he's great to watch.
33:40I sure do I.
33:41We're fine, aren't we?
33:43Yeah, I'm an admirer, I've got to say. I love his character.
33:46Highest played football manager in the world.
33:49She isn't.
33:50Outside of the boot from Alisson, eh?
33:56Ekotike down and swept on then by McAllister, but that's only to Molina.
34:01Here's Koke.
34:022-0 the substitute, shoved aside by Hugo Ekotike.
34:11Now McAllister to Salah.
34:13It's a lovely ball, first time to Engermar.
34:16His first involvement since coming on.
34:18I think the question at the moment, Ali, is can they generate the chance Atletico Madrid with 12 minutes to go?
34:28You wouldn't rule it out.
34:30You would not rule it out.
34:32There's Koke in the lead.
34:34Connor Bradley.
34:36Thank you!
34:37Hello, thank you!
34:38That's your name, thank you!
34:39That's my team!
34:40I'll let you away from you!
34:41That's my team!
34:42Thank you!
34:43Thank you!
34:44That's your team!
34:46That's your team!
34:48Thank you!
34:49Thank you, thank you!
34:50I'll let you see!
34:51That's your team!
34:52Rio Engamoa.
34:53Now Virgil van Dijk.
34:55Krasenberg looking to accelerate and find Ekotike but stepping in there was a long lay, Simeone off and running.
35:08Dominic Savosla in hot pursuit down that side for Liverpool and the pressure was enough to send him the other way.
35:15Really good play by Savosla. More than much the run, didn't he?
35:25Moving towards the final ten minutes.
35:46.
35:53.
35:55.
35:58.
36:11Andy Robertson to Ingermoa, now Van Dijk.
36:17.
36:20Alisson misses out Canate and finds Conor Bradley.
36:24.
36:29Atletico Madrid ball.
36:32.
36:49A little flick works out nicely for Koke.
36:51Dragley's got back there.
36:55Simeone, now Barrios shooting chance straight at Canate and then Llorente!
36:59Oh, he scored again!
37:00Would you believe it?
37:03The last time Llorente came to Anfield he scored twice.
37:07Then history repeats itself again.
37:09It's a stunning strike by Llorente.
37:12It's 2-2, and look at the celebrations!
37:15Oh, brilliant.
37:16What a strike.
37:17Do you know who deserves an enormous credit?
37:19Koke, for keeping it alive.
37:21He keeps it alive.
37:22Could have looked a lost cause.
37:25.
37:26But it's no real surprise now.
37:28And we've spoken about Llorente, I think he's been absolutely different class.
37:31And what a volley this is.
37:33What a volley.
37:34Koke, the substitute, watch this.
37:37Thinks he's lost it.
37:38There you go.
37:39Keeps it alive.
37:40But it's all about the strike.
37:42Lovely balance.
37:44Takes the deflection off McAllister, doesn't it?
37:46And flies in.
37:47I mean, I know the deflection helps out Atletico Madrid, but the technique's outstanding.
37:51Oh, of course.
37:52And he keeps getting himself in a position to do damage to Liverpool.
37:56He's seriously impressed this evening.
37:58He really has.
37:59He gets a break.
38:00Of course he does.
38:01Can argue he's earned it.
38:03Koke, as I mentioned again, he keeps the whole thing alive.
38:06Refuses to give up.
38:08Keeps the ball in play.
38:14You've got to say, it's no real surprise now.
38:17They've been good second half, they've played well.
38:19Well, we've got some eight minutes now.
38:20Liverpool looked like they were going to run riot after six minutes when Salah got the second goal.
38:25They've also hit the post, but all of a sudden it's 2-2.
38:28And these wily old campaigners, this team that's been around the Champions League for so long
38:34with their grizzled manager Simeone have managed to drag themselves back in it.
38:39With two Llorente goals, two in 2016 and two tonight.
38:472020 rather than 2016.
38:50But I'll tell you what, he's a factor every time he comes to Anfield.
38:55So let's see what the Liverpool response is.
38:58Yeah, interesting.
39:00And what's it, he goes for a goal to have each other.
39:10But I couldισoteiro do a passer and the forward.
39:23Malmo as the team.
39:24As the player in Canada.
39:28Over to Robertson, into the box towards McAllister, it goes down,
39:31the cop appeal for a penalty, the referee waves it off.
39:36Simeone's going to chase it, Alisson advance for Liverpool, now Bradley.
39:42Milos Kerk has his strip down below us for Liverpool.
39:46Certainly don't want to drop points from 2-0 up on the opening night of the league phase.
39:53Soboslai.
39:59Andy Robertson, now Rio Engamoa.
40:11Everybody's sitting in now defensively for Atletico Madrid.
40:15Ryan Gravenberg with the ball in, good run had been made in there by Conor Bradley,
40:19but it was well defended by Barrios.
40:22Van Dijk under pressure from Sorlot.
40:28Simeone beaten to it by Canate, here's Dominic Suboslai.
40:40Mo Salah.
40:41On it goes to Conor Bradley, who carried on running, it's a really good cross,
40:46it's well defended by Molina, there was nobody in the six-yard box to gamble for Liverpool.
40:51No, beautiful football on the right-hand side.
40:53Bradley gives Salah the ball in, running's behind the full-back,
40:56and gets a perfectly weighted pass from the tongue, but you're correct.
41:00All the movement, but everybody's stationary in the box.
41:07So the big men have gone in there for Liverpool, Ibrahima Canate, Virgil van Dijk, Dominic Suboslai,
41:12the Hungary captain has gone out to take the corner,
41:14Koff end of Anfield with a bit more than five minutes to go.
41:18Canate jumping and heads it wide.
41:34There was a collision with a couple on the edge of the six-yard box,
41:38Clement Longley was one and Robertson I think was the other.
41:41That's a chance though for Canate.
41:43Big chance for him, isn't it?
41:45Excellent in there, I mentioned before, the two centre-backs, he should do better,
41:49I think he comes off his shoulder.
41:51Does it come off his right shoulder, does it?
41:53He's certainly getting pulled and tugged, and Virgil just goes down slightly.
41:57How about that for a tattoo then, Ali? I'd like Diego Simeone, please.
42:05Just wondering if that nipple could have been better placed.
42:09I'll leave that to your own devices.
42:11Far too much information.
42:21I was thinking the end of the nose or somewhere.
42:23Yeah, well, I quickly pushed it off.
42:27So Kirk has for Robertson, the Liverpool change.
42:31And Gamora's got Kerkhez running beyond him.
42:33And Gamora's got Kerkhez running beyond him.
42:35Defended by Llorente.
42:37There's Malina.
42:39And Gamora's got Kerkhez running beyond him.
42:41Defended by Llorente.
42:43There's Malina.
42:45Do you think Atletico Madrid will even try and win the game?
42:47Or will they just take a 2-2 from 2-0 down?
42:49No.
42:51No.
42:52I mean, at the moment, everybody's sat there, aren't they?
42:53Yeah, they're taking a 2-2 all day, but if they've got opportunity to counter, you better believe them.
42:55And Gamora's got Kierkegaard running beyond him.
43:03Defended by Llorente, there's Molina.
43:09Do you think Atletico Madrid will even try and win the game,
43:12or will they just take a 2-2 from 2-0 down?
43:15I mean, at the moment, everybody's sat in, aren't they?
43:17Yeah, they're taking a 2-2 all day, but if they've got an opportunity to counter,
43:20you better believe them, they'll attempt to do that.
43:25Played in now to Hugo Eketike, but they've got bodies around the ball, it's Simeone.
43:40Didn't seem to be too much of a desire to run forward by the team in blue,
43:45Liverpool have got it back again with Eketike.
43:47Looking to take on Pablo Barrios, he's won the corner off Long Lake.
43:52Don't forget we've got the Europa League, match day one every game live,
43:5624th and 25th of September on TNT Sports, the Conference League as well,
44:01match day one every game live, Thursday the 2nd of October,
44:05and that's on TNT Sports as well, you can see it on Discovery Plus as well.
44:09The World Athletics Championships as well.
44:11Tomorrow, 11 o'clock, TNT Sports 3, day six of that competition.
44:16In by Dominic Suboslite towards Virgil van Dijk, he's appealing for something.
44:21Well, I think he reckons after he's headed it, he's come off the defender's arm,
44:26I think that's what he's claiming for.
44:28It comes off his head, maybe he's saying he's getting held.
44:34Final two minutes, another corner for Liverpool, Arles Locke looks on.
44:46Just right, there was some in the ground who felt it had sneaked in,
44:52but he would have looked that way from the stand where we are.
44:54Well, it hits the side netting, doesn't it? Again, I think this is a chance.
45:00Oh, it just goes the other side of the post, doesn't it?
45:03It's one of those corners that's so difficult to defend, isn't it?
45:06Just the quality of the ball in generated the problem.
45:10Look at Tiki in the front post area, just trying to get a slight touch on it, isn't he?
45:15We're expecting four added minutes.
45:18Simeone battling with Bradley, that's a foul.
45:29Simeone pulling the shirt of the Northern Ireland international,
45:32Liverpool want to get on with it, here's McAllister.
45:36And now Engermoa.
45:44Virgil van Dijk.
45:47Canate.
45:50Bradley.
45:55Simeone faced up by Gala.
45:58Supposed by supporting it.
46:01Ibrahima Canate.
46:03Everybody forward here for Liverpool.
46:05Desperately searching for a winning goal.
46:07Grappenberg.
46:10Kerkes.
46:17It's just a wall of glue here that Liverpool have somehow got to break down.
46:22Salah.
46:26It's not a bad ball towards Ekotike, but Oblak has seen it all before, read that situation brilliantly.
46:31Had to be sharp, had to be lively coming off his lane, he was.
46:39Confirmation of the four minutes, time running out for Liverpool to get a winner.
46:42Mandai.
46:43You always think there'll be a chance somewhere, don't you?
46:46Engermoa.
46:50Subozlai.
46:51Hits it from distance, straight at the defender.
46:53Bradley's header, determined to win it for Liverpool.
46:58Now Ryan Grappenberg.
47:01McAllister.
47:03Engermoa.
47:07Desperate to make something happen, but he's won a corner.
47:11You know, I gave Koki a lot of credit for keeping the thing alive there.
47:14Showed him Conor Bradley, he really does.
47:17He's just got a fantastic attitude to play, obviously very talented, but a wonderful attitude as well.
47:22Van Dijk in there, the Liverpool captain.
47:34Van Dijk was attacking it, it's a really good header by Koki,
47:38and he's been very impactful since coming on.
47:41Subozlai.
47:43In towards Kanate and Bradley.
47:46That's gonna be a corner, Barrios had the last touch, and again it was good pressure from Bradley.
47:50Didn't dive in, did he?
47:53Keeps it alive, it's all about keeping the pressure on.
48:00Liverpool applying all of the pressure.
48:03Dominic Subozlai from the other side.
48:05Van Dijk in there with Ekotike.
48:07It's a good header, it's the captain's goal for Virgil van Dijk in the Champions League.
48:21And it's happy birthday to Arna Slott as the captain delivers when Liverpool really need it.
48:28It's just Sipel.
48:30Sipel, he actually comes off his marker.
48:34He comes away from the goal.
48:37Simeone's in the crowd, Simeone's in with the crowd, Ali.
48:40I thought you said he was calm am I now going?
48:44He's absolutely lost the plot down there, Simeone.
48:47I don't know what's been said to him.
48:53But let's concentrate on the goal for now and that gigantic moment for Van Dijk as he continues to rage.
48:59No, he's livid, isn't he?
49:02I'll talk about the goal.
49:04Brilliant delivery in.
49:06And Van Dijk actually, when I was watching him, he comes away.
49:10If you look at it, he comes away from his marker there.
49:13Gives him a little bit of a shove.
49:15Comes back or stands half a yard.
49:18That's all he needs.
49:19And directs the header.
49:22There the shove there gets away.
49:24Brilliant, brilliant header.
49:26He's getting mad from Lin on mine, but I'm pretty sure he's been shown a red card, Simeone,
49:32and he's just checking with the ref though he's got to go, I'm not sure.
49:35I think he has, I think he's been sent off.
49:47Well, listen to this place now, because of that moment from Virgil van Dijk.
49:52What a time for the captain to step up and score.
49:55Fantastic header.
49:56The only thing I'd say, once again, many times do we see it, nobody on the posts.
50:05Take nothing away from the delivery, nothing away from the header at all.
50:08Brilliant header.
50:09He's still down there, Simeone.
50:10I think he feels like he's been wronged in some way by the people on that side.
50:22I mean, we have no idea what's happened.
50:24What we do know is he's got to go because he's been sent off by the Italian referee, so off goes Simeone.
50:30I mean, what an end to this, I mean, match, it's only league, match day one in the Champions League,
50:38and the competition, Ali, that never lets you down.
50:40I'm just loving the fact you were telling the nation after 85 minutes who comes, I mean, wouldn't you?
50:45Well, what I would now confirm is that Leopard's never changed their spot, Ali.
50:52Yeah.
50:54What an ending.
50:55Astonishing.
50:56Astonishing.
50:57Astonishing.
50:58Astonishing.
50:59Astonishing.
51:00Astonishing.
51:01Astonishing.
51:02I mean, it's like a powder keg in here now.
51:03Yeah.
51:07In need of that though, Liverpool, you can't be too up at home in the Champions League and find yourself take back.
51:13You've got to then have it in you to get a winner.
51:15And that's exactly right now what they've done.
51:18Ekotike's chasing this, Longley's back, Ekotike's in, Longley just, just got a touch back to Oblak.
51:25How lively does he look?
51:28He's unlucky, just needed a nudge in front of the defender, didn't he, Longley?
51:36Van Dyke now with defending to do on Simeone, away by Alisson.
51:41It's hacked at them by Gravenberg, you can feel the nerves, can't you?
51:44Yeah.
51:45That's a brilliant header by Kerkic, had no right to get there.
51:48Dominic supports life, in goes Bradley, loves the tackle, we know that, over he goes.
51:53Power away, Liverpool might get another, Ekotike waiting, Ekotike, missed it.
51:59How on earth has he missed it?
52:01What an ending.
52:02I'll tell you why, because it just bounces, it meets him, and he's unlucky.
52:06He should score.
52:08Is Salah offside here?
52:10Oh, that's tight.
52:12Brilliant ball, first time.
52:15And the problem he's got, it just bounces as it arrives to him.
52:20Should he score?
52:21Yes.
52:22But what a move.
52:23Go into the Champions League, back to the bank.
52:25Oh, not half.
52:26Back to the bank.
52:27Still playing here, the crowd desperate for the final whistle.
52:30Lord knows what it might be like when it blows.
52:37Llorente, and it goes towards Salah!
52:39That was the chance, it's straight to Alisson.
52:42What a chance for Atletico Madrid, right at the death.
52:46Oh, he's got to put it back to the other post.
52:49Surely.
52:50What a chance.
52:51Oh.
52:52Full time.
52:53Liverpool have won it, thanks to their captain, on Arna Slott's birthday.
53:05And he can smile, shakes hands with the officials from Atletico Madrid.
53:11It was a flying star for Liverpool, two up inside seven minutes
53:14through Robertson and Salah.
53:16Looked like they got the game in the bag, but somehow they dragged themselves
53:19back in Atletico Madrid.
53:21Llorente was outstanding on the night, scored twice.
53:24And then right at the very end, Salah had hit the post,
53:28Virgil van Dijk with a towering head, a captain's moment,
53:31Liverpool win it in front of the Kop.
53:34Simeone sent off in a melee involving supporters
53:37behind the Atletico Madrid bench, and we'll hear a lot more about that.
53:42But Ali McCoy, how many times do we sit together
53:45and watch this competition throw up drama like that?
53:48And on opening night at Anfield, as far as Liverpool and Atletico Madrid are concerned,
53:54they've served up an absolute treat for us.
53:56Well, let's be honest about it.
53:58After the opening five, ten minutes, we're thinking how many?
54:02Right, but they played themselves back into the game.
54:04I thought Gravenberg first half was outstanding.
54:08Equally second half, your entry was tremendous.
54:11They come back in two, she scores these two goals,
54:14you're thinking for all intents and purposes it's going to finish a draw.
54:18And then the drama at the end, red cards for coaches,
54:21and a wonderful, wonderful header to win the game.
54:23Brilliant, really enjoyed it.
54:25What a night.
54:26Liverpool get the win, they needed that win.
54:28When you're two up at home, you've got to get the job done,
54:30and they did it through Van Dijk, deep into stoppage time.
54:33Do you want the good news?
54:34Yes, please.
54:35We've got Newcastle, Barcelona tomorrow.
54:37The Champions League is here, and we are loving sharing it with you.
54:42Full-time at Anfield, Liverpool get the win on Arnest Lott's birthday.
54:46Van Dijk the hero, Liverpool three, Atletico Madrid two, Laura.
54:51Oh, it never disappoints there, does it?
54:53What a game, what an atmosphere, what an ending.
54:56Just when you think Liverpool got the job done quite early,
54:59they eventually rescue it in the last minute via Van Dijk.
55:03And an attempted comeback from Atletico Madrid,
55:06but it wasn't to be, Michael Irwin.
55:08What a night.
55:09That was just incredible, what a finish of the game.
55:11I mean, fair play to Atletico Madrid, they made a real game of it.
55:15I thought it could be just a total onslaught after the first five, six minutes.
55:20But Liverpool came back into it.
55:22They were threatening at the cup end on set pieces.
55:25Canate could have scored just before that, but what a header.
