This feeling was even more obvious when we confirmed that the first game would be against Atletico Madrid, who have established themselves as a strong team in Spain and even European football over the past decade."
"I believe this is exactly the kind of showdown that UEFA expected when changing the match system not long ago. Tonight's game, and the subsequent reconnaissance of the group stage, can be compared with the Champions League quarter-finals, semi-finals and even finals."
"This means we must be prepared to face the energy, strength and challenges brought by Atletico Madrid. Most importantly, under Simeone's leadership, they are always very competitive. If It is impossible to continue to be ranked in the top four in La Liga (a league with Real Madrid and Barcelona). "
" In this regard, Atletico Madrid is one of the most stable teams in Europe, and this has been going on for some time. To maintain this stability, they have to show an extremely high level in most games, so we should expect them to go all out tonight."
"I know this is just the first game of the Champions League this season, and there are seven group games to play afterwards, but I don't think it would be too early to create a special European atmosphere at Anfield, especially since our fans know more than anyone how much difference they can make."
