Two Goals in 8 Minutes and an Extra-Time Winner: Do You Remember Atletico Madrid's Lineup That Eliminated Liverpool?

In March 2020, Atletico Madrid defeated defending champions Liverpool 3-2 at Anfield to secure a place in the final 16 of the Champions League. Now comes the question: can you still name all eleven players in Diego Simeone's 4-3-3 starting lineup that night?

A strange match overshadowed by the pandemic

Atletico Madrid arrived away from home with a 1-0 lead from the first leg, and almost nobody believed they could withstand Liverpool's attack. But that night was overshadowed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and normal logic seemed to disappear. Georginio Wijnaldum opened the scoring in the first half, then Roberto Firmino extended the lead to 2-0, and Liverpool briefly believed victory was secured.

Two goals in 8 minutes silenced Anfield

Atletico Madrid did not follow the expected script. They scored two goals within 8 minutes, instantly stunning Anfield. Klopp's team pushed forward desperately but could not change the score again. In the 121st minute of extra time, a former Chelsea forward scored the winning goal, sending Liverpool out. That night, Simeone's 4-3-3 starting lineup became one of the most surprising answers in Champions League knockout history.
