Luis Suarez explains how Atletico Madrid will beat Liverpool in the Champions League

In the Champions League on Wednesday night, Luis Suarez revealed how Atletico Madrid will beat Liverpool.

On Matchday 3, Atletico were defeated 3-2 at home by the Reds. Antoine Griezmann had already bagged a brace when he was sent off.

Due to Griezmann's suspension, Suarez is expected to start in midweek in the absence of the Uruguayan.

Before the match, he spoke to UEFA.com about Liverpool's loss.

"I think details can work against you in these types of games, especially in the Champions League," he said. "Any small detail, the smallest of mistakes, a millisecond where you're distracted...they can all prove damaging."n the Champions League you pay for it. That's obvious.

''If from the first whistle to the last whistle you don't play with conviction, passion and desire to win, if you get distracted in a Champions League game, you pay for it.''

I think that's what happened against Liverpool. We started well, but they were strong, intelligent, and experienced, and they were ahead after 20 or 25 minutes, until we were able to get back in the game.

After Antoine Griezmann was sent off, we had one less man but kept playing to the same level. The pace was very high, and they started to attack a little more until the penalty."

It is not the first time Atletico have faced Liverpool. In March 2020, Diego Simeone & # 39; s side secured a 3-2 victory after extra time in the second leg of the pair & # 39; s round of 16 meeting, ending the Reds' hopes of retaining the Champions League.

Asked whether Atleti would repeat the feat on Wednesday, Suarez answered: "Of course, every team has its strengths and weaknesses. We know how good Liverpool are on the counter attack when they get up to their pacy attackers.
