Sky Bet Offer: 50/1 on a Goal to Be Scored in Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid
- On Wednesday, Liverpool begin their 2026-27 Champions League campaign by hosting Atlético Madrid at Anfield for the league phase opener. The European heavyweights face a rematch, having clashed five times in the competition since the decade began.
- Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola oversees his first Champions League match, seeking to maintain Anfield's unbeaten home record in openers. Diego Simeone leads his team to Merseyside under pressure following a recent 3-0 defeat at Athletic Club.
- Iraola revealed Bradley Barcola is "ready to play more minutes," hinting at his first Liverpool start. The manager looks to support the in-form duo of Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo against an unconvincing Atlético defense.
- Atlético may recall Álvarez to the starting lineup as he integrates back into the squad. Despite recent struggles, the visitors remain a competitive force, boasting attacking weapons capable of unlocking the hosts under the floodlights.
- History favors the hosts, who have never lost a home Champions League opener. Liverpool aim to extend their dominance, while the visitors hope to replicate their famous 3-2 triumph at Anfield from 2020.
