The two sides were facing one another in the Champions League, with the game being held at Anfield.
Most people expected it to be a rather boring clash due to Diego Simeone’s usual tactics; however, since Liverpool bagged two goals inside the first 10 minutes, it was actually an entertaining game.
Indeed, the fact that Liverpool ended up coming out on top likely helped the entertainment factor for their fans, but the game against Atletico did finally get Mohamed Salah back to his best.
The Dutchman played almost every single game for Liverpool last term, with the former Bayern Munich man only getting the odd rest here and there.
“Until Atletico scored, that half was Liverpool’s best of the season in terms of being in control,” he said in quotes relayed by BBC Sport.
“A big reason for that was Ryan Gravenberch, who has been ridiculously good so far.
He’s been the best player on the pitch.”
One of Slot’s main goals this season will be to win the Champions League.
Even though the Premier League will be high on his list of priorities, the fact that Liverpool won it last season will likely mean that more of his attention will be turned towards the Champions League.
