Saul Niguez reveals what he’s learned from Jurgen Klopp’s side ahead of Champions League clash

Atletico Madrid are preparing to host Liverpool in the Champions League first leg of the round of 16 on Tuesday, February 18. Ahead of the game, Atletico midfielder Sauld Niguez has spoken out on their opponent. Liverpool are currently on an unbeaten run in the Premier League as the Reds are leading the league table with 76 points. “Liverpool are very complete, a great team in every area [but] they find it hardest when you’re deep because they’re very, very, very good in transition,” Saul told the Guardian. “I watched them against Norwich and if it wasn’t for Mané’s extraordinary control, they don’t win. They’ve won lots of games they could have drawn or lost, which tells you something about what they have inside.  “It’s not luck. It’s work, sacrifice, not giving up a single ball for lost.” source - The Independent
