There seems to be no team capable of beating Liverpool this season. Can Atlético, with all their woes this season, shock the world this time around?

What is Atlético and Liverpool's form ahead of this game?

Atlético has been struggling lately to win games, since they have only won one out of their last six in all comps. Los Colchoneros will enter this clash fresh off a 2-2 draw against Valencia last weekend, while only being able to score four goals in their last six outings.

Liverpool makes it to this tie having won thirteen of their last fourteen matches in all comps. Their only loss before that took place in the League Cup, where Liverpool was forced to field a squad filled with young players due to their involvement in the FIFA Club World Cup. If that hadn't been the case, Liverpool wouldn't have lost a single game since September 2019, when Napoli handed them a 2-0 defeat at San Paolo Stadium.

How did Atlético and Liverpool get to this stage of the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League?

Atlético made it to this stage of the tournament by finishing second in Group D. Los Colchoneros won three of their six group games, with two losses and one draw completing their tally. Simeone's men managed to get to the next round by scoring eight goals, the joint-lowest amount by any team that made it to the Round of 16 (with Borussia Dortmund and Atalanta).

Liverpool edged Napoli by on point to claim Group E's top spot. The Reds won four of their games, with one draw and one loss (vs Napoli). Klopp's men scored 13 goals in the group stage of the tournament, while their defense conceded eight times.
