Despite a well-played soccer game, Liverpool fell short during their trek to Madrid as Atletico Madrid came away with a 1-0 victory.
A 9th minute goal by Diego Forlan was all Atletico Madrid needed for the “W” today. Rafael Benitez’s boys will return to Anfield next week optimistic.
It was apparent that Liverpool was missing their scoring Spaniard Fernando Torres up top.
In times past, Forlan had struggled finding the back of net. However, it was he who poked one past goalkeeper Jose Reina. Just moments later Yossi Benayoun sent home Dirk Kuyt’s cross but sailed just wide of the net.
Eight minutes later, Banayoun beat Atletico’s David de Dea but was called offside by the linesman who made a bad call that would cost the Reds a goal.
With a fourth place finish in the EPL, anything other than a win in the week to come will likely bring their season to a screeching hault.
