Liverpool sets a high bar, however, and this time — fuelled by a strong summer in the transfer market — the aim is go further in Europe in addition to retaining the Premier League title.
"Of course, we have a lot of desire for winning trophies this season again," goalkeeper Alisson Becker told reporters ahead of the return of UEFA's top competition.

"It takes time for all the players to adapt to a new style of play, a new competition, and everyone knows how physical and intense the Premier League is," Alisson explains

While nothing can be won or lost in terms of the Champions League group phase this week, a victory over Atletico Madrid would be the first step towards going one better on the European front this time around.
