Atletico Madrid have handed Liverpool their first loss on 2020.
This came after Diego Simeone side defeated Jurgen Klopp in form Reds by 1-0.
The home side take the lead in the tie as Saul converts from close range. Koke puts his delivery on the spot from the corner on the right flank. It strikes Firmino on the boot and travels towards the near post. Saul reacts to the loose ball and stabs his effort past Alisson from six yards out to put his side in front.
Liverpool have the ball in the net, but Firmino miles offside as he tees up Salah. Oblak makes a huge mistake, sending his clearance straight to Salah. However, the winger takes a heavy first touch that travels towards Firmino. The Brazilian has no alternative to pass to his team-mate with Oblak closing. Salah finishes with a low strike into the net, but the flag goes up for offside.
