Liverpool and Atletico Madrid will begin their 2025/26 Champions League campaigns with a blockbuster meeting at Anfield on Wednesday, 17th September.
Both sides will be eager to make a statement in their opening group fixture, having suffered early exits in last season’s competition.
For Liverpool, the previous European campaign ended in disappointment as they bowed out in the round of 16.
The Reds ultimately fell short against tougher Paris Saint-Germain in the knockout phase of the competition last season.
Atletico Madrid’s story was strikingly similar, as Diego Simeone’s men also exited the competition at the same stage. That shared frustration ensures that both clubs come into this season’s tournament with a point to prove.
Anfield has traditionally been one of Europe’s most intimidating venues, and Liverpool will look to harness that energy once again.
Atletico, meanwhile, are no strangers to the pressures of European nights. The clash also reignites a recent history of memorable encounters between the two sides, with Atletico famously knocking Liverpool out at Anfield in the 2019/20 season.
Liverpool recently welcomed new signing Alexander Isak in a club record move and he is expected to start against the La Liga side.
Isak could be in contention to lead their attack but Arne Slot will be without another latest signing in Jeremie Frimpong who is out with a hamstring injury.
Predicted Line Up: Alisson, Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo, Isak.

Alex Baena and Jose Gimenez are both doubtful for the big match at Anfield. The Atletico Madrid duo have muscle injury issues and Diego Simeone will have to rely on other options.
Predicted Line Up: Oblak, Llorente, Le Normand, Lenglet, Hancko, Simeone, Cardoso, Barrios, Almada, Alvarez, Sorloth.

For many Atletico Madrid fans, the first stop when looking for match tickets is the club’s official website. It’s the most direct and traditional channel for accessing seats. Still, the huge popularity of Los Rojiblancos means that tickets, especially for high-profile fixtures, are often snapped up quickly, leaving many supporters disappointed.
When this happens, a practical alternative is to explore platforms like Livefootballtickets.com. The site has become a go-to option for fans across the globe, offering access to tickets for some of football’s most sought-after games.
When Liverpool and Atletico Madrid last crossed paths in the Champions League group stage during the 2021/22 campaign, the Reds came out on top in emphatic fashion.
Jürgen Klopp’s men secured victories both at Anfield and in Madrid, underlining their dominance over Diego Simeone’s side during that particular European run. Those results carried extra significance for Liverpool fans, as they represented a measure of revenge for the painful exit inflicted by Atletico just two years earlier.
Back in the 2019/20 season, Liverpool, then reigning European champions, were dramatically eliminated at the round of 16 by Atletico in one of the most memorable ties of recent years.
After a first-leg defeat in Spain, the Reds looked on course to overturn the deficit at Anfield, only for Atletico to stun them with a late surge in extra time. That night ended Liverpool’s title defence and left an enduring mark on the rivalry.
They have played 6 times with two wins for Liverpool, two for Atletico and two ending as draws.
