The title holder will go no further. Flamboyant winner of the competition last season against Tottenham, Liverpool was eliminated by Atletico Madrid in the last 16 of C1's return despite the magic of Anfield (2-3). However, it is not for lack of having dominated the Colchoneros after the short defeat of the first leg (1-0).

The Reds dominated, they even dominated, they stumbled on Oblak for a long time, as often, before making the difference thanks to Wijnaldum, then Firmino at the start of extra time. That's when the drama happened. Premier League substitute goalkeeper Adrian missed a full axis raise and Llorente kicked the ball without question. He even put it back ten minutes later on the second against the match of the Colchoneros, decidedly indestructible in the Champions League. They join PSG, Atalanta, and Leipzig in the quarterfinals, hoping that the competition can continue.
