The Reds rescued a late point following Cristiano Ronaldo’s stoppage-time equaliser at the Gewiss Stadium and while our no.7 has been the subject of plaudits for his contribution at one end, Bailly has been highlighted for his efforts at the other.
The Ivorian was making only his second appearance of the season and first since September, but that didn’t seem to matter as he proved a thorn in Atalanta’s side throughout the 90 minutes.
Perhaps most notably, our no.3 made several trademark athletic interventions including a goal-saving last-ditch block to deny home forward Duvan Zapata in the first half.
