Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has explained why he decided to substitute Sadio Mane after just 45 minutes in the club's 1-0 loss to Atletico Madrid in the first-leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie.
A Saul Niguez goal in the fourth minute would prove enough for the hosts to claim a memorable win, with Klopp opting to withdraw one of his star attackers at the half-time break.
Despite scoring the winner against Norwich in the Premier League on Saturday, Mane was replaced by Divock Origi after a frustrating first-half that left the Reds manager adamant the change had to be made.
