Liverpool host Atlético Madrid at Anfield on 17 September 2025, as the Champions League league phase kicks off in high-stakes fashion.

A last-minute penalty from Mo Salah bagged the Reds all three points at Burnley on Sunday, and they will surely need to play much better when they take on Julian Alvarez and co.

The Premier League side’s form in the Champions League has been less than stellar in recent seasons. Since winning the trophy in 2019, Liverpool have reached one final (2022), one quarter-final (2021) and have been dumped out at the round of 16 three times (2025, 2023, 2020)
