Liverpool 2-3 Atletico Madrid (2-4 agg): Jan Oblak shines as reds UCL journey ends at Anfield

Liverpool have crashed out of the Champions League after a 4-2 aggregate defeat to Atletico Madrid.

Gini Wijnaldum opened the scoring on the night when he headed Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s cross into the ground and past Jan Oblak in the Atletico Madrid goal.

Liverpool missed a clutch of opportunities to bury the game with Andy Robertson, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah all guilty of passing up chances.

Roberto Firmino put Liverpool in front in the tie for the first time when he headed Wijnaldum’s cross on to the post before finishing the rebound.

But an Adrian howler allowed Marcos Llorente to strike and he doubled his tally before half-time in extra-time to seal Atletico’s progression.

Alvaro Morata capped the comeback by scoring the winner on the night in the dying minutes.
