Liverpool Begin Champions League Campaign Against Atlético Madrid

Liverpool open their 2025-26 Champions League campaign at Anfield tonight, with Atlético Madrid the first challenge in a group stage that will test Arne Slot’s ability to translate domestic dominance into European success.

Pressure for European Improvement

Slot’s first season brought a Premier League title, but Europe was a different story. Liverpool were beaten only once in the eight-game league phase, earning notable wins over Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen, but were eliminated in the round of 16 by eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain. That painful exit came on penalties at Anfield, with “Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones both missing from 12 yards.”

This opening fixture is a chance to reset that narrative. The Reds know they must offer more than they did in their last outing, when Mohamed Salah’s 95th-minute penalty was required to scrape a 1-0 win over Burnley.

Atlético’s Struggles Provide Opportunity

Atlético Madrid arrive at Anfield in mixed form. They have managed a win over Villarreal and draws with Elche and Alaves in their last three matches, leaving them eleventh in La Liga but within reach of early leaders Real Madrid. Diego Simeone’s side remain difficult to break down, but their inconsistency offers Liverpool an opportunity to start with three points.
