| Atletico Madrid beat Liverpool 1-0 ( today, Tuesday) in the first leg of the Champions League final |
At "Wanda Metropolitano", Saul Negues scored the winning goal early in the fourth minute, to impose a difficult match on the Premier
League leaders.
Liverpool, the club world champion, entered the match as a candidate under his glaring dominance in the English Premier League.
On the other hand, Atletico supporters were hoping for a small victory.
Simeone, who was close to winning the competition twice in 2014 and 2016 when he lost to Real Madrid, missed his young adult player Joao Felix because of the injury.
Simeone's squad came as a surprise, after it prompted the French midfielder Touma Limar.
Atletico was the perfect start. From a corner, midfielder Saul Niguez scored against Alison Baker, opening the scoring goal with his first goal of the season in the continental competition.
And Atlético would have almost strengthened numbers had it not been for Baker's intervention.
Liverpool first half managed to acquire 71%, but without real chances.
