Liverpool will kick off their 2025/26 Champions League campaign under the Anfield lights against Atletico Madrid.

The Reds are looking to lift Europe’s most coveted trophy for a seventh time after a disappointing end to their pursuit last season.

Arne Slot’s side were beaten by eventual champions Paris Saint-Germain in the last-16 of the competition in March.



But the reigning English champions will go into the match with optimism, thanks to their 100 per cent win rate in the Premier League this season - though they have needed late goals to keep that record intact.

Meanwhile, Atletico have begun the La Liga season slowly after making a host of signings, only managing their first league win at the fourth time of asking last weekend with a 2-0 home victory over Villarreal.

Yet, manager Diego Simeone boasts pedigree in the competition and Atleti finished fifth in the newly-launched league phase last term.

The two sides last met in November 2021 at Anfield, with Liverpool winning the group stage fixture 2-0 thanks to goals from Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane.

And we now bring you everything you need to know to tune into the upcoming league phase clash.
