With 1-0 deficit to recover, Liverpool find themselves in a tricky situation ahead of the second leg of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 match against Atletico Madrid at the Anfield on Wednesday.
En route to their title-winning campaign last year, the Reds overcame a 3-0 deficit against Barcelona in the semifinal. Thus many would imagine them of going to the next round with ease, given the season they have had so far. Also, they have not lost their last 25 European games at Anfield.
However, the Jurgen Klopp-managed side would know the task ahead is easier said than done. In the first leg, Atletico Madrid not only exposed them tactically but halted their unbeaten run. From then onwards, Liverpool have lost another two in their next four matches across competitions.

On the other hand, though Atletico Madrid will be hoping to cause the biggest European heartbreak of the season, they have their own devils to fight. Languishing at sixth in La Liga, the 1-0 first-leg victory over Liverpool was their only third win in last 11 matches.
Their European record is also nothing to be proud of having won just one of their last nine away outing in Champions League knockout ties. The Diego Simeone-led side are yet to win any match on the roads in this calendar year.
