‘Atletico would be favourites to beat Liverpool in UCL’ – Craig Burley

Liverpool’s possible Champions League last-16 meeting with Atletico Madrid is already being debated after predictions were made about how Arne Slot’s side would fare.

The Spanish club progressed with a 7-4 aggregate victory over Club Brugge on Tuesday night and is now one of two potential opponents we could face when the draw takes place on Friday morning.

The other candidate will come from Juventus or Galatasaray, but discussion has quickly focused on the prospect of facing Diego Simeone’s team again.
