"Early goals from Andrew Robertson and Mohamed Salah gave Liverpool a tremendous start, and they have controlled the game for the majority of the first half. However, they will be disappointed with a late goal from Marcos Llorente, which has allowed Atletico Madrid a way back into the game. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can produce a strong performance in the second half and get the job done."
"Until Atletico scored, that half was Liverpool's best of the season in terms of being in control. A big reason for that was Ryan Gravenberch, who has been ridiculously good so far. He's been the best player on the pitch. The 23-year-old Netherlands International has helped Liverpool control the tempo of the game, and he has helped them out defensively as well."
Liverpool lead Atletico Madrid 2-1 at halftime following early goals from Andrew Robertson and Mohamed Salah. Liverpool controlled play for the majority of the first half but conceded a late Marcos Llorente goal that gave Atletico a route back into the match. Ryan Gravenberch has been singled out as the best player on the pitch, controlling tempo and contributing defensively. The 23-year-old Netherlands international has been outstanding over the last 12 months and was crucial to last season's title win. Arne Slot will be pleased with Gravenberch's performances as Liverpool pursue both the league title and the UEFA Champions League.
