Atletico Madrid pulled off a stunning extra-time comeback to beat Liverpool 3-2 (4-2 agg) and dump the holders out of the Champions League. Three goals in extra-time sent the Spanish club through to the quarter-finals after the Reds dominated for the whole night and briefly went ahead in the tie. Having entered the clash 1-0 down, a dominant Liverpool got the goal they needed through Georginio Wijnaldum and should’ve ended things in normal time. Roberto Firmino finally put the Reds in front early into extra-time, before absolute chaos ensued at Anfield. A howler from Adrian gifted the visitors a priceless away goal through Marcos Llorente, and they were in dreamland when the substitute struck again before on 105 minutes. With Liverpool chasing an unlikely two goals, Alvaro Morata, another substitute, ran up the other end and completed an extraordinary turn of events in the dying moments.

It was a tale of the two keepers: Jan Oblak excelling; Football is rough, man. It took Heisenberg purity levels of Simeone-ing to flip the script on Wednesday night. And more than a touch of luck. 2-0 up. Anfield bouncing. Liverpool had finally broken through Diego Simeone's impenetrable wall to burst their way into the next round of the Champions League. Or so we thought. An Adrian error and he-should-have-done-better-with-that-shot later and it was 2-2, Atléti adding a third in added time to win the second-leg outright. Liverpool dumped from the competition and on their way to a plodding conclusion to the season -- if there's a season left at all. Gutwrenching. It was a cruel reminder of what makes the Champions League so great and so difficult to win. A nick here, an error there and you're bounced quicker than Michael Owen from a loyalty conference. That Llorente was the guy to essentially end this magical season is utter madness. Llorente had six senior-team goals  in h

Jürgen Klopp insisted Liverpool will 'come again' in the Champions League after their defence of the title was ended by Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night. The Reds were on course to overturn a one-goal deficit in the second leg of the last-16 tie when Roberto Firmino made it 2-0 four minutes into extra-time at Anfield. But Atletico struck three times in the remaining additional period to win 3-2 on the night and 4-2 on aggregate, halting Liverpool’s quest to reach a third consecutive final in the competition. Read a summary of Klopp’s reaction to the loss at his post-match press conference below… On his thoughts on Liverpool’s performance and the result… I think everybody who saw the game tonight knows that it could have been different. I loved our first 90 or 95 minutes, however long it was. Our first, main mistake tonight was that we scored the second goal too late; we scored in extra-time and not in the 90 minutes, so that was our fault. When you see a team like Atletico p
