Atletico Madrid hold the advantage at the halfway stage of their UEFA Champions League last-16 tie with Liverpool, earning a 1-0 win over the holders at the Wanda Metropolitano on Tusday.
The match got off to a perfect start for the hosts, with Saul Niguez prodding home from close range after a penalty-box scramble. Liverpool's response saw them have a lot of the ball, but they were able to create little in terms of clear-cut chances in the first half.
In the second period, Mohamed Salah planted a header wide, while Alvaro Morata embarrassingly missed his kick when presented with a glorious opportunity to double his team's advantage.
