Three areas for improvement for Atletico Madrid second leg
Liverpool's defeat at the Wanda Metropolitano at the hands of Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid is a bitter pill to swallow.
Jürgen Klopp's men failed to find a solution to the problem in front of them for once this season, as Atleti produced one of their trademark difficult, defensively resolute and irritating performances against the reigning European champions.

Main Mané: Why Sadio shouldn't be overlooked for Player of the Year
When Liverpool signed Sadio Mané back in 2016 for £34 million, many onlookers scoffed at the price tag.
I must admit, although I didn't quite scoff, I was unsure if the Senegalese was worth the hefty investment. He looked like a promising player, but I wasn't sure if he'd have the desired impact at Anfield.
Fast forward four years, and my scepticism couldn't have been more misplaced.
