Liverpool fans all say the same thing after drawing Atletico Madrid in Champions League

Liverpool have discovered their fate for the Round of 16 stage in the Champions League, as Jurgen Klopp's side face a two-legged affair against Atletico Madrid - leaving fans all saying the same thing.

After advancing through a group stage alongside Napoli, Genk and Red Bull Salzburg, finishing top of the pile, the Reds' defence of their European crown has been successful so far.

However, the knockout stages are when things really start to heat up and a clash against Atletico Madrid will be a stern test for Klopp's squad - particularly as their continental exploits will have to be balanced alongside the push for Premier League glory.

Atletico secured their spot in the knockout stages as runners-up in Group D behind Juventus, finishing ahead of Bayer Leverkusen and Lokomotiv Moscow.

The ties will be split over two weeks in February and March, with the first legs taking place on 18/19 February and 25/26 February, followed by the second legs on 10/11 March and 17/18 March.

Following the draw, many Liverpool fans identified that they will be returning to the venue where they beat Tottenham in the Champions League final last season.
