Alexander-Arnold’s cross aimed towards the back stick is diverted for a corner in the nick of time by Vrsaljko. Atletico are awarded a free-kick from the resulting corner.

Costa fires an effort wayward from distance. 

Four minutes have been added on as Liverpool search for an equaliser.

Close!

Henderson goes extremely close to levelling, with the midfielder hooking fractionally wide from Origi’s cross.

A long-range effort from the full-back Lodi goes close.

A let-off for Liverpool.

A cut-back finds Morata free inside the box. However, he slips just as he’s about to finish and the Reds survive.

Match shot

Origi is sent down the left channel after a threatening ball, but the striker’s first touch is heavy and the ball goes out of play.

Atletico are struggling to get out of their own third with Liverpool asserting a heavy spell of pressure.

Close!

Gomez curls a brilliant ball into the box that finds an open Salah. 

The Egyptian’s header has Oblak scrambling, although the ball goes fractionally wide.

Atletico create a promising situation inside Liverpool’s penalty area. Fortunately for the Reds, though, Vrsaljko can’t adjust his feet to get a shot off.

Here's how Opta saw that first half...

One minute of additional time will be played.

The ball falls to Salah inside the penalty and he manages to get a shot away at goal. It looks to be going in, but Felipe heads it over for a corner.

Following the corner, no Liverpool player is able to get on the end of Alexander-Arnold’s whipped ball across the face of goal.

Robertson tries to find the bottom corner with a bending effort from outside the area, but it ends up going just wide.

Action at both ends. 

Van Dijk’s header makes it way to Morata, who advances towards goal and cuts inside. He unleashes a shot that’s saved well by Alisson. 

Then, Liverpool go up the other end and Salah puts the ball in the back of the net. However, the flag is raised as Firmino was offside in the build-up.

Match shot

Great defending from Robertson.

The left-back manages to divert Lodi’s cross behind for a corner, with Morata waiting to pounce at the back post.

Lodi is there in the penalty area to head clear a threatening cross from Robertson on the left.

Liverpool have settled down after the opener and are enjoying lengthy spells of possession. However, that hasn’t resulted in a clear-cut opportunity yet.

Alexander-Arnold looks to put a cross into the box, but doesn't connect properly and the ball sails over Oblak's crossbar.

Correa advances down the left before releasing a shot that goes wide as Atletico continue to bring the pressure.

The teams emerge out of the tunnel to an incredible atmosphere.

There's a pre-match lights show going on accompanied with AC/DC's Thunderstruck. 

Not long till kick-off now...

Atletico's path

Simeone's charges qualified for the last 16 from a tricky group containing Juventus, Bayer Leverkusen and Lokomotiv Moscow.

Los Rojiblancos' home form was the foundation of their second-placed finish in the group, with seven points collected from the available nine and two clean sheets in Madrid.

It's almost time...

Klopp's view

"Playing Atletico is one of the most difficult things in the life of a football player. [They are] really good organised, a result-machine, squeezing results pretty much out of each game if possible," said the Reds boss at his pre-match press conference.

"Yes, people will tell me - and have told me already - this year it is not exactly like it was, it's a transition period, that's normal, but still [they are] fighting with all they have, don't [concede] a lot of chances and all that stuff. That is really difficult.

"What they played so far in the season was not as bad as people are saying and it is nothing to do with their chances [tonight]. The team who will play better and then in the next game when we play against each other, who fight more, who want it more will go to the next round and not the team who plays a better Premier League or La Liga season. It's as easy as that.

"We are here and I think nobody doubts that we are really ambitious, so we will give it a proper try."

Atletico analysis

We asked La Liga expert Dermot Corrigan, who writes for The Independent, the Irish Examiner and others, to give us a detailed lowdown on Atleti ahead of the game.

On the home fans' hopes, he explained: "That, under Simeone, no-one can motivate a team or set a team up to scrap and fight and ruffle feathers in big games as much as Atletico.

"They've been great at it in Champions League matches, going back to Chelsea [a semi-final in 2013-14] or Barcelona [quarter-finals in 2013-14 and 2015-16], or when Arsenal came over for the Europa League semi-final in 2018; it was 1-0 but they really steamrollered them.

"They're hoping with their hearts more than their heads that the form book will go out the window and they can lift themselves for one big game, then head to Anfield and see what happens."

Our history in Spain

In 19 previous away games against Spanish clubs, Liverpool have won seven, drawn five and lost seven.

This is the Reds' fifth successive European campaign in which they have faced Spanish opposition - we've only been eliminated by clubs from Spain twice in the previous 11 two-legged ties.

'I think a lot of people are running out of words for him'

Trent Alexander-Arnold was asked about Alisson Becker during his press conference last night.

"I think a lot of people are running out of words for him, but [it's an] unbelievable feeling to have him behind us," the No.66 said.

"When you've got a lot of confidence in your goalkeeper, it's something you can't really overlook and you can't really take for granted. A world-class goalkeeper, probably the best in the world. I think we're really grateful to have him in our side – he helps us out.

"From the time he's been injured to coming back and keeping so many clean sheets, he's showed game in, game out that he can make the hard saves look easy."

Liverpool and Atletico: The story so far

Tonight's match will be only the fifth meeting between the Reds and Los Rojiblancos.

The sides drew 1-1 in both Champions League group-stage games in 2008-09, before Atletico came out on top on away goals in the semi-finals of the Europa League in the following season.

'Liverpool will have their place in history'

Diego Simeone was effusive in his praise for the Reds during his pre-match press conference.

“I have no doubt that that as we look back across all those years [of football] Liverpool will have their place in history, for certain,” Atletico's boss said.

“They have qualities, characteristics, that are different to all those teams we have admired: they’re much more direct, much more intense, have much more variety. I feel a great admiration for them.”

Did you know?

Jürgen Klopp has never lost a two-legged European tie as Liverpool manager, winning all 10 of his previous ties.

Not bad, boss.

Plan of action

Liverpool trained at Real Madrid's training ground this morning - the same place they did so before last season's Champions League final.

The players will head back to the team hotel afterwards for a team meeting and to eat and relax ahead of tonight's game.

Team news

Jürgen Klopp offered a positive fitness update when we spoke with the boss on board the team flight to Madrid yesterday.

Liverpool have brought a 21-man squad to Spain and Klopp confirmed that he has no fresh injury concerns after the weekend win at Norwich, meaning Xherdan Shaqiri and Nathaniel Clyne are the only senior absentees. 

Atletico, meanwhile, have a 19-man group to choose from for tonight's match. Diego Costa is available again after being out since November, while Jose Gimenez could also be back.

However, Joao Felix has been ruled out, along with Kieran Trippier and Hector Herrera.

Jürgen Klopp and Trent Alexander-Arnold held a press conference at Estadio Metropolitano on Monday night.
