ESPN FC’s Steve Nicol, Alejandro Moreno and Frank Leboeuf break down Atletico Madrid’s 3-2 comeback win that knocked Liverpool out of the UEFA Champions League. Nicol puts the blame squarely on goalkeeper Adrian whose error led to a goal from Atletico Madrid’s Marcos Llorente. Moreno adds that Adrian’s lack of confidence in net was palpable and agrees the Reds sorely missed injured goalkeeper Alisson.

It hurts accapting the fact that we lost to a team with literally no good outfeild players ?? like seriously on paper atheltico ia garbage but props to simione
YOURE WELCOME WORLD
The white man with specs bite his tongue too much .
Yes he made a slight mistake but do not take away the finishes from llorente. Liverpool should have never gone into extra time
First goal: Adrian's fault close to 100%. Terrible distribution and panicked whilst trying to redeem the situation. Defence were hung out to dry
Second goal: Letting Morata travel 50 yards and into the final third unchallenged was the first issue. Van Dijk backing off was lackadaisical and Gomez should also engage Llorente much sooner before he shoots. Adrian could and should have saved the shot. In elite European competition, you would want your goalkeeper to save that.
Third goal: Again, lazy defending. Offside trap was executed hopelessly by Gomez, have to give Morata credit for steadying himself and finishing with aplomb.
Adrian set the tone no doubt but the defence in extra time didn't do him any favours.
Finally, for any Liverpool fans criticising the style of play of Atletico Madrid or the supposed unethical nature of the outcome… Your team made critical mistakes and at the highest level you are very likely to punished. Atletico Madrid pounced on the mistakes and finished the chances presented to them. That's football. I would also like to stress that Costa went clean through after 13 seconds, the offside trap immediately looked extremely risky.
The right team won or certainly there wasn't a wrong team.
Liverpool’s cry baby is comes out ? Jajajaa
Can’t blame the goalie for losing it’s clearly the defenders weren’t doing their job
0:42 – "reeehahsebeagb Atletico MADREEEED, other than the FAAAIRST minute of the GEEEIM…"
but they were through 🙁
Liverpool is trash. White people really don't like watching browns play their sport better than them. They just can't say it.
So now for the English site it’s all on the goal keeper ? what about the other players who missed chances after another?
Yes it was mostly the goalies fault. He looked very shaky, and
Klopp should have fortified the defense instead of pressing forward and exposing the defense.
Atletico shoots on goal many times , it is like they did not watch the game .
Steve is so biased. They lost the game end of!
Only the sore losers blame the goalkeeper for one single mistake. If liverpool was good enough, they would have scored another goal after and win it 3-1!
It not the goalkeeper fault because other player had chance of score and la liga defenders is better than liverpool defender
I wouldn’t blame Adrian tbh, he conceded three goals but he only ever made a mistake in one of them, I don’t think Alison could’ve saved Morata’s goal either, it’s really the entire team’s fault for not being “on point”
ALL of the blame!
LFC did everything they could. There is no need to blame anybody. Atleti is a better team and they have a better coach. That is why they won. That is all. As simple as that!..
" you will never walk along " it's all adrains fault ??
When Oblak did the same mistake in first leg (26th minute), why did Liverpool not converted that into goal? It is wrong to portray that Adrian is the sole reason for the loss. Liverpool goal conversion rate was poor throughout the legs.
Of the 217 minutes (122 '+ 95') the two legs lasted Atleti was classified in 159 ', tied for 55' and only 3 'with the tie lost. Perhaps Simeone work should be recognized.
