Liverpool fans give team bus amazing welcome ahead of Atletico Madrid in Champions League

These were the scenes at Anfield as Liverpool fans welcomed the team bus to the ground tonight.

The Reds take on Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, currently trailing 1-0 from the first leg in Spain.

An amazing atmosphere is already building for the match, and Jurgen Klopp will be hoping supporters can inspire his side to victory and qualification for the quarter-finals.

Skipper Jordan Henderson has recovered from injury and is back in the starting eleven.

Fabinho has dropped to the bench, and Naby Keita has not been named in the matchday squad.

Tonight's tie goes ahead despite many sporting fixtures and events across the continent being cancelled or postponed due to the spread of coronavirus.

Around 3,000 Atletico supporters are believed to have made their way over for the game.

And it has led to some questions as to whether they should have been invited to travel - and why a firmer stance has not been taken by the Government and footballing authorities.
