(The Guardian) 1 min: Liverpool get the ball rolling, their players kitted out in charcoal grey shirts, shorts and socks. Atletico’s wear their usual home kit of red and white stripes, blue shorts and red socks.
2 min: The Wanda Metropolitano is a real cauldron as Virgil van Dijk tries to pick out Trent Alexander-Arnold with a long diagonal from the back. His pass is wayward and the ball is shepherded out of play for a goal kick.

(The guardian) 3 min: Renan Lodi beats Trent Alexander-Arnold on the left flank with a drop of the shoulder and whips a terrific cross into the Liverpool penalty area. Morata gets a touch and the ball goes out for a corner.

...well, this sucks...
(The Guardian) GOAL! Atletico Madrid 1-0 Liverpool (Niguez 4)Atletico go ahead! Saul Niguez stabs home from two yards out to put the home side a goal up. 5 min: THere’s a lengthy VAR check for offside but the goal stands. The corner came in from the right, the ball seemed to clank off the shins of Fabinho standing near the six-yard box and roll towards Liverpool’s goal. Niguez was quickest to react, pouncing on the loose ball to fire past Alisson into the bottom left-hand corner from two or three yards out.

(The Guardian) 7 min: Niguez picks out Angel Correa with a free-kick from deep. Darting between two defenders, the striker latches on to the ball and squares the ball across the face of the Liverpool goal. There’s nobody on hand to convert and Correa was offside anyway. Liverpool are asleep. That’s twice they’ve been caught napping inside the opening 10 minutes. ...time to wake up, Reds!

(The Guardian) 9 min: On the touchline, Diego Simeone, dressed from head to toe in trademark black, is ushered back to his technical area by the fourth official after wandering downfield to roar instructions at his strikers.
11 min: Teed up by Jordan Henderson, Trent Alexander-Arnold shoots high over the bar from about 25 yards out.

(The Guardian) 12 min: Stefan Savic heads the ball clear of his own penalty area, intercepting a Mo Salah cross. After a shaky start, Liverpool are starting to find their groove.

(The Guardian) 14 min: Another high “shot” over the bar from Trent Alexander-Arnold, who I think was trying to send a cross in from the right.
15 min: Robertson gets on the ball out on the left, but his attempted pass to Gini Wijnaldum is cut out by Koke.

(The Guardian) 15 min: Having taken an early lead, Atletico seem content to sit back and let Liverpool have the ball, restricting them to sending crosses in from the flanks.

(The Guardian) 17 min: Liverpool continue to apply pressure, while Atletico have 11 men behind the ball in and around their own penalty area. A cross in to that penalty area from Andy Robertson is headed clear by Renan Lodi, the left-back.
18 min: Atletico get a chance to clear their lines as they win a goal kick. Jan Oblak kicks it long and Virgil van Dijk wins the header.

(The Guardian) 20 min: Excellent defending from Robertson, who - facing his own goal - hooks an Atletico cross out of play for a corner while facing his own goal, with Atletico’s strikers either side of him.
22 min: Nothing comes of Atletico’s second corner, Alisson ending up with the ball safely in his grasp.

(The Guardian) 23 min: Lodi appears to handle the ball just outside his own penalty area, but gets away with it. Atletico win a throw-in deep in their own territory, down near the corner flag.

(The Guardian) 24 min: A Morata barge on Fabinho wins Liverpool a free-kick wide on the right. Trent Alexander-Arnold’s delivery is atrocious, failing to beat the first man. I think he might have put his boots on the wrong feet tonight - this is not like him at all.

(The Guardian) 25 min: Thomas Lemar relieves Alexander-Arnold and gallops down the left flank, before sending in a cross. Virgil van Dijk misjudges the flight of the ball, which comes to Alvaro Morata. He brings a decent save out of Alisson at his near post from a tight angle. That was a very good chance for Atletico to double their lead.

(The Guardian) 27 min: Jan Oblak fires a clearance straight to Mo Salah, who is caught by surprise and miscontrols the ball into the path of Roberto Firmino up ahead of him. He passes back to Salah, who fires into the gaping goal, but Firmino was offside upon receiving the ball. A let-off for Atletico.
