This came after the Spanish international brace ensured Liverpool couldn't defend their UEFA Champions League title.
Recall that in February, Atletico Madrid dumped Liverpool out after an aggregate score line of 4-2.
The first leg ended by a Saul Niguel goal in the first four minutes at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium in Spain.
Without an away goal, The Reds knew they had a mountain to climb.
Just before half time, Wijnaldum gave Liverpool the lead and the game was streched to an extra time.
Roberto Firmino goal in the 94th minutes saw Liverpool re-take the lead.
But Diego Simeone made changes as Marco Llorente came off the bench to capitalised on two errors from Adrian.
Alvaro Morata added the third for La Liga side as Reds were knocked out.
Although, Jurgen Klopp came ut to criticise Diego Simeone tactics as too defensive.
Llorente who had scored just a goal since he joined Atletico Madrid from rivals Real Madrid took to Instagram on Friday afternoon, uploading a picture of his dog looking out the window.
The image was then accompanied with the caption: 'Anfield watching life go by'.
