Marcos Llorente haunted Liverpool again in the Champions League after scoring a brace on Wednesday night, and he adores Anfield so much that he decided to name his dog after the iconic stadium.

Llorente scored both of Atleti's goals in a dramatic 3-2 defeat to Liverpool on Wednesday, equalizing in the 81st minute.

Llorente also scored a brace in his last game at Anfield, when Atleti eliminated Liverpool from the Champions League in 2020 following a 4-2 win.

While Llorente's stunning record continued, Liverpool were victorious after Virgil van Dijk scored a header in the 92nd minute to secure a fifth-straight victory.

Atleti head coach Diego Simeone was sent off moments later, after clashing with a Liverpool fan and showing frustration toward officials.
