These Liverpool fans are nervous about facing Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages, after drawing them on Monday.
This fixture has always proved to be a tight one, with Atletico holding the advantage in terms of wins in the last six meetings between the two sides, with three and Liverpool winning just once. There will likely be solid defensive displays, due to there only being 13 goals across the last six meetings.
Here’s what the Liverpool fans had to say about the draw result:

Will Liverpool beat Atletico Madrid?
Yes
No
Both sides will be able to take advantage of the January transfer window before the meeting, with the fixture set to take place on 18th February 2020 in Madrid. However, it would appear not many of the Kopite faithful are fully convinced about their chances of overcoming Diego Simeone’s side.
Worst possible draw tbh.

What Do We Think?
This is a tough fixture for Liverpool and they seriously could be looking at an early exit. However, it’s important that the Merseyside club doesn’t start looking too far into the future, with them currently sitting top of the Premier League, they can’t afford to start getting complacent.
