Liverpools defence of their Champions League crown ended at the round of 16 stage as they were beaten 4-2 on aggregate by Diego Simeones Atletico Madrid.The Merseyside outfit were clearly the dominant outfit through the course https://www.clippersedges.com/Blake-Griffin-Jersey of the double-legged tie but Atletico produced a solid defensive display and scored with four of their eight attempts on target.As a result, the Reds have bowed out of the FA Cup and Champions League in the space of just one week but they are still on course to win their Premier League title with a maximum of six points required from their next nine matches.Three things we learned from Liverpools Champions League exit:
Liverpools away form: The Reds were able to accumulate six points from their away games in the Champions League group stage but they were particularly disappointing in their key encounter at Napoli, where they succumbed to a 2-0 https://www.clippersedges.com/Rodney-Mcgruder-Jersey defeat. Against Atletico, the club suffered a similar fate with a slender 1-0 lo s and surprisingly failed to muster a single shot on target. That eventually came to haunt them in the home leg at Anfield where Atletico sustained the pre sure with crucial away goals in added extra-time. The Spanish outfit, however, required a top-cla s performance from Jan Oblak between the sticks as he made on the road.The need for a better back-up goalkeeper: https://www.clippersedges.com/Montrezl-Harrell-Jersey Klopps side faced elimination from the FA Cup and Champions League within a space of seven days and in both occasions, Adrian featured in goal. Adrian was impre sive for the Reds during the first half of the season when he deputised for the injured Ali son but of late, he has been susceptible to errors. On Wednesday, he was largely responsible for the opening goal scored by Atletico after his pa s was gifted straight to Joao Felix, who laid the ball https://www.clippersedges.com/Patrick-Beverley-Jersey to Marcos Llorente to find the back of the net. He was thereafter easily beaten at the near post for Atleticos remaining goals in the 3-2 defeat, and surely the Reds ought to pursue a better shot-stopper to deputise for Ali son next term.The nece sity for another elite forward: Liverpool po se s an elite frontline of Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane but there have always been question marks over the attacking depth. Against Atletico, Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino were the forward options called upon from the forward but neither have the same pedigree as the above-mentioned trio. Origi, of course, built his reputation after scoring key goals against Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur last term but he was not able to repeat the performance this term. The Reds may struggle to convince a potentially world-cla s forward to join them without the a surance of regular playing https://www.clippersedges.com/Louis-Williams-Jersey time but Klopp needs to find a solution for next season.
