Atletico, meanwhile, drew 0-0 with a 10 man Porto in their first match then beat AC Milan – who also had a player sent-off – 2-1 in controversial circumstances after an injury time goal.
Atlético have home advantage as Liverpool look to avenge their elimination in 2019, when Atlético memorable knocked the Premier League giants out at the Round of 16.
The match will also be a chance to see Mohamed Salah, who is in excellent form with 9 goals and 3 assists in 9 matches this season, come up against Atlético’s formidable defence.Â
