Manchester United claims another dramatic triumph over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, securing victory late in the game
In a thrilling encounter at the Wanda Metropolitano, Liverpool emerged victorious against Atletico Madrid, securing a 3-2 win in the Champions League. The Reds' early dominance was evident as their old guard took charge, with Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson putting Real Madrid two goals up inside the first six minutes. Salah's first goal came from a deflected free-kick, while the second was a result of a combination with Ryan Gravenberch just two minutes after the opening score. However, Real Madrid fought back, with Marcos Llorente scoring the hosts' first goal, despite an objection from Alisson Becker that Antoine Griezmann was offside. Giacomo Raspadori set up Llorente's second goal in added time, setting the stage for a nail-biting finish. Liverpool's early dominance seemed to fade as the match progressed, with Alexander Isak, the British-record signing, being a peripheral figure until he was injured in a tackle by Robin Le Normand in the 31st minute. The match marked Arne Slot's 47th birthday and saw encouraging link play between Florian Wirtz, another £100m summer addition, and Isak. Wirtz, in particular, impressed with his creative play, setting the stage for an exciting future for the Reds. The match was not without controversy, as Real Madrid's coach, Diego Simeone, was sent off after arguing with fans behind his dugout. In the dramatic finale, Ibrahima Konate headed a corner wide, while Virgil van Dijk scored the winning goal in added time, securing a hard-fought victory for Liverpool. This victory marks the fifth consecutive match where Liverpool allowed a lead to slip but still managed to win. The match was a testament to Liverpool's resilience and determination, as they once again demonstrated their ability to come from behind and secure a crucial win in the Champions League.
