Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone sends Liverpool message ahead of UCL game

Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone has sent a message ahead of the Champions League match against Liverpool. The Reds are currently leading Group B after two impressive wins, while the La Liga club are 2nd on the list. Jurgen Klopp's side will trip to the Wanda Metropolitano on Tuesday night - the place where they faced a 1 - 0 defeat to Simeone's team in February 2020. Speaking about the upcoming match, the La Liga club's boss said:
"We hope that everyone is in contention and ready for a fantastic game that will be full of red and white shirts in the stadium." "Let's not forget, the last time we played Liverpool in the Champions League, we were already winning that game before it even kicked off, I would like the fans to remember that tomorrow. "We have a training session tomorrow and we'll see how the players feel but like I've always said we'll only focus on Liverpool. "We've been doing this 10 years so the only thing that matters now is tomorrow's game against Liverpool."
He continued:
"Liverpool have great mobility and no fear of leaving spaces at the back. "They have very quick players to go on the break and even with Virgil van Dijk at the back, they have improved their solidity in defence which is very important, even for a team like Liverpool. "What do I expect? A team full of good footballers with clear ideas, so we will try to find a way to hurt them. "Of course, we need to match their intensity and look for our own chances and we will see what happens tomorrow."
Simeone added:
"Mohamed Salah is an extraordinary player and has been at a fantastic level for a few years with Liverpool and his national team. "Suarez is a decisive player and he is excited about tomorrow, the same as the other players, those who play with their national teams and those that stayed with us during the international break."
