Liverpool vs Atletico tactical analysis: Liverpool unlucky or a Simeone masterclass?

Tactical Preview: Liverpool vs. Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid’s 1-0 victory at the Wanda Metropolitano heralded the end of Liverpool’s phenomenal winning streak. The performance itself was more concerning than the defeat though, with Liverpool merely creating eight chances (four of which were shots from outside of the box), one Big Chance, but not managing to get a single one of those on target.
