Match Preview
Liverpool look to maintain their winning start to the 2025–26 season when they host Atlético Madrid in their Champions League opener on Wednesday evening.
The Reds have won all four of their Premier League games this term but have needed late heroics to retain their perfect record. Another last-gasp winner saw them beat newly-promoted Burnley at the weekend as Mohamed Salah strode forward confidently from the penalty spot to earn the Reds victory at Turf Moor in stoppage time.
Arne Slot knows that such drama in the dying embers of matches cannot be relied upon long-term and will be eager to witness a more comfortable victory at home to Atlético in Liverpool’s first league phase encounter. The Dutchman guided the Reds to top spot in last season’s table with seven victories from eight, but Diego Simeone’s wily operators will offer them a sizeable opening test this year.
Atlético don’t enter Wednesday’s fixture in particularly convincing form having won just one of their four La Liga games this season. Their 2–0 win at home to Villarreal at the weekend got them up and running after a defeat to Espanyol was followed by back-to-back draws with Elche and Deportivo Alavés.
Atléti have immense European experience, however, and will have no qualms heading to Anfield midweek. They have lost their last two meetings with Liverpool but will take solace from knocking the Reds out of the Champions League in 2019–20 with a remarkable 3–2 extra-time victory on Merseyside.
Liverpool Team News
Liverpool will be without Curtis Jones again after the midfielder missed the trip to Burnley, but Alexis Mac Allister is expected to be available despite being on the receiving end of a nasty challenge from Lesley Ugochukwu at the weekend which forced him off at half time.
All eyes will once again be on Alexander Isak with the Sweden international potentially making his debut in some capacity during the fixture. He faced the Spanish club six times during his spell with Real Sociedad, managing a goal and assist, and Slot has confirmed he can play at least one half in the upcoming clash.
Federico Chiesa was once again used from the bench in Sunday’s win but will be unavailable on Wednesday due to his omission from Liverpool’s Champions League squad.
Academy star Jayden Danns could be involved in the matchday squad after being pictured in first-team training on Tuesday.
Atletico Madrid Team News
Atléti celebrated an important victory at the weekend but it came with a cost. The quartet of Julián Alvarez, Dávid Hancko, Robin Le Normand and Nicolás González all suffered fitness issues in the clash with Villarreal.
Centre backs Hancko and Le Normand and weekend goalscorer González are involved in the travelling squad for Wednesday’s game, but Atléti will be without ex-Manchester City star Alvarez.
The Spaniards are already missing Thiago Almada, José Giménez and Álex Baena through injury, and Johnny Cardoso is another now in the treatment room after spraining his ankle in training on Monday.
