Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann has suggested to that Jurgen Klopp’s team could exit the Champions League when they face Atletico Madrid next month. 

The Reds trail 1-0 from th𓄧e first leg at the Wanda Metropolitano with Liverpool❀ failing to register a shot on target during the contest.

Many are claiming the game will be a different game back at Anfield but Hamann thinks Liverpool might encounter similar difficulties in breaking down Di🍎ego Simeone’s team.

“It will be difficult for 🌳Liverpool after the defeat at Atletico.

“Aft𝔉er winning 4-0 in the second leg last season against Barcelona (in the semi-finals), everyone thinks they can do it, but they didn’t have a single on goal in Ma🌟drid.

“It nothing new, however, that they have their problems away from home, that was alrea𓆉dy the case last season. Atletico will also tear up in Liverpool, I expec🎉t a fascinating second leg.”

Liverpool roared to Champions League glory last season w🅠ith breathtaking f꧂ootball and a real togetherness in their play.

Whether they can come from behind against Atletico remains to be seen and they will certain🔥ly need to be better than the🍬y were last week.

Given how they have played at Anfield during the last 18 monthsꦛ, however, you wouldn’t 💟be backing against them.

Treble

European nights under the floodlights are where Liverpool thrive and they will fancy breaking down a stubborn Atletic𓆉o when they face each other agai💎n next month.

Liverpool are walking the Premier League 💦and they will be able to put maximum effort into the cup competitions.

Winning the Champions League for a second s🍃eason running wil🐓l be something that Klopp desperately wants to do.

The treble dream isꦬ still alive and Liverpool will hope to ram Hamann’s words down his throat when th🐈ey meet again.
