Atletico Madrid shock the world as they defeated defending champions Liverpool 1-0 in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League at the Wanda Metropolitano on Tuesday night.

An early strike from Saul Niguez in the first half put the Rojiblancos on the driver’s seat ahead of the second leg at Anfield in three weeks.

Despite the win, Diego Simeone has received a piece of bad news as one of his star players was injured in the fixture.

Thomas Lemar could only feature in the first 45 minutes after he was substituted due to injury. A further check-up will be done on the World Cup winner to know the extent of his injury.
