Pep Guardiola's footballing machine weren't able to get a result that night as Simeone's team progressed to the final in Milan.

Atletico will be looking to learn from the lesson they learned in Turin last season where they were on the wrong side of a Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired comeback.

Alisson Becker has been ruled out of this match with injury, leaving Adrian San Miguel to guard the Liverpool goal in front of the Kop.

Up the other end will be Jan Oblak, who will have to face Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, although he's already kept a clean sheet against them before.
