Kieran Trippier admits he is thriving professionally and personally since leaving Tottenham Hotspur for Atletico Madrid last summer

Atletico Madrid put Liverpool to the sword at Anfield last night to book their place in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

The La Liga giants won 1-0 in the first-leg and came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 on Merseyside after 120 minutes.

England international Kieran Trippier was playing club football in his homeland for the first time since leaving Tottenham Hotspur for Atletico in a £20 million deal last summer, and he had the last laugh against one of his former rivals.

The 29-year-old was linked with a Spurs exit towards the end of last season after he suffered a sharp dip in form and lost his starting berth.
