Atlético full-back hails team display against Liverpool‘We run ourselves into the ground for each other’Kieran Trippier has said he is loving every minute of playing for Diego Simeone and has not experienced anything like the never-say-die attitude that the Atlético Madrid coach creates.
Atlético became the first visiting team to win at Anfield in 18 months, and first European team for almost five and a half years, when eliminating the holders, Liverpool, from the
Champions League on Wednesday. Their defensive performance prompted a churlish reaction from Jürgen Klopp, a self-confessed “under-average loser”, who said he did not understand why a team with such quality chose to play the way that they do. “They could play proper football,” the
Liverpool manager said following his team’s 3-2 loss and 4-2 aggregate defeat.
