The fallout of Liverpool's Champions League defeat by Atletico Madrid has continued with Michael Owen blasting the performance of the latter.

The defending champions were dumped out of the last-16 stage on Wednesday night 4-2 on aggregate after losing the second leg at Anfield 3-2 after extra-time.

Liverpool looked to be progressing through when Roberto Firmino put them in front in extra time only for a Marcos Llorente double and Alvaro Morata strike to see the visitors cause an upset.
