In terms of their Champions League campaign, Liverpool enters this one in great shape.
They are presently five points clear of Atletico Madrid in second place, and a win tonight will ensure them first place if Milan fails to beat Porto.
The Reds have won all of their games so far, while Atletico Madrid has beaten Milan, fallen 3-2 at home to Liverpool, and was drawn with Porto.
As a side note to recent form, it’s worth mentioning the handshake saga, which saw the English media make a big deal out of Simeone’s choice not to shake Klopp’s hand following their last meeting.
After practically every game, Simeone rushes down the tunnel, and he has done it before.
