Feb 17, 2020, 12:44 pm* I think that was the big difference. Firstly, Firmino was denied by Oblak at one end before Joao Felix tested Adrian at the other.Midway through the half, Liverpool thought they had the lead in the tie when Andrew Robertson got his head to Salah's deflected shot but the ball came back off the bar.The attacks kept coming and with Costa having been substituted for Llorente, much to the delight of Anfield, Simeone's side did not seem to have a way of alleviating the pressure.Liverpool made two changes to the team that beat Bournemouth at the weekend with Andrew Robertson returning to replace James Milner at left-back and captain Jordan Henderson recovering from injury to take the place of Fabinho in midfield.But the clock kept ticking and Klopp, aware of the risk, withdrew the excellent Oxlade-Chamberlain in favour of James Milner. It would have been a surprise if he hadn’t powered a similarly brilliant effort past Marc-Andre ter Stegen in the comeback against Barcelona last season.It’s easy to forget Wijnaldum actually started that semi-final second leg on the bench; that wouldn’t happen now. Instead, fellow substitute Alvaro Morata added a third Atletico goal to dump the defending European champions out of the competition.It was an extraordinary result for Diego Simeone's side who, for all their high-quality defending, were outplayed for much of the evening by the runaway Premier League leaders.The 30-year wait for that title will soon come to an end but Liverpool's grip on this one is over.Liverpool knew they had a huge task on their hands coming into this one but so did the Anfield crowd and there was a raucous atmosphere at kick-off as the drizzle came down.It did not take long for Atletico to remind everyone how precarious the reigning champions' position was when Diego Costa fired just wide of the near post after only 14 seconds.But Liverpool were soon into their groove and dominated possession throughout the first half with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane both combining to get shots away.Even before the opening goal, the best weapon looked to be the overload on the right wing where Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was enjoying himself alongside Trent Alexander-Arnold.While the full-back's steady stream of crosses were repelled by the Atletico defence, they could do nothing to stop Oxlade-Chamberlain finding Wijnaldum late in the half.The Dutch midfielder was one of the architects of Liverpool's memorable comeback against Barcelona last season and Jan Oblak could only watch his powerful header sail into the net.Liverpool's recent form has been troubling, having lost their last three away games and only edged past West Ham and Bournemouth here, but Anfield transforms on nights like this.Every tackle was cheered.

Still, the chances continued to fall to Liverpool.Mane might have taken the roof off the Kop had his overhead kick found the net with five minutes remaining. Liverpool in actual season average scored 4.00 goals per match.
Virgil van Dijk gave away a corner with an unusually panicked clearance and Koke's delivery caused mayhem in the box before striking Fabinho. Is it necessary they finish the situation? I like that. But in this moment, the momentum changed.
Georginio Wijnaldum’s header put the hosts ahead in the first half of normal time. He is so competitive – wow! That is how it is.".
