Football Liverpool dramatically defeats Atlético Madrid – Jürgen Klopp stressed the importance of dirty points and recalled that he is not the pope of football

Salah have now scored in nine consecutive Liverpool matches. Salah also became Liverpool’s all-time top scorer in the Champions League. He has now scored 31 goals. The previous record, 30 goals, was Steven Gerrardin on behalf of.

The match itself had several twists and turns on Tuesday. First Liverpool went to Salah and Naby Keitan paints to a 2-0 lead, but Antoine Griezmann brought Atlético to the levels with two goals still in the first half.

Atlético had several good opportunities to take the lead, especially 52 minutes in when Atlético came up alone against Eduardo Villarreal who managed a block. Griezmann aimed at the ball, a mud-high foot hit Liverpool Roberto Firminon to the ear: a straight red card for a Frenchman.

The referee signaled a penalty 78 minutes into the game following an offense which looked like it was outside the box. The ball was taken 11 meters Mario Hermoson tangled quite foolishly Diogo Jotaa.

Drama however, the arc didn’t end there, as a little later the video looked at the penalty kick already awarded to Atlético. After the video closed, the referee Daniel Siebert reversed his verdict.

“Dirty three points are often the most important and today they were dirty,” Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp said after the match.

“This was not our best football, but this was an important step.”

Klopp had previously criticized Atlético’s defensive style of play, but now he didn’t want to go back to it anymore.

“I’m not the pope of football. It doesn’t matter what I say. Some things I like, some I don’t. I have great respect. They have been incredibly successful. ”

Atlético head coach Diego Simeone naturally regretted the outcome.

“When we were at a 0-2 loss, they thought they would beat us by five or six goals, but we could have won 3–2. It [voitto] just escaped from us, ”Simeone stated.
