Jurgen Klopp wants to say the right things when it comes to Atletico Madrid and Diego Simeone but there is always an itch he ends up scratching. Liverpool play Atletico again in the Champions League on Wednesday in a game that this time carries more significance for the Spaniards than the Reds.

Liverpool top group

Klopp’s team are already five points clear at the top of a group that looked awkward when the draw came out in August. Atletico are in a scrap, level on four points with Porto, whom they still have to play in Lisbon in the final round.
