Liverpool showed that their attack is one of the deepest in Europe. When one attacker is out of form, they can call upon another world class attacker to fill in, as Benfica saw. Plus, Guardiola’s side eventually overcame Atletico thanks to some substitute appearances from Phil Foden and Gabriel Jesus to change the game.

Man City vs Atletico – When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. 😂
As a Liverpool fan who has been annoyed with our quite poor back up options in recent seasons it is so nice to be able to talk about us having some of, if not THE, best depth in Europe!
If only we had xavi earlier😮💨
Wow I didn't know you were a Benfica fan
KDB & Foden
A better love story than Twilight ❤️
All those '0's is pretty painful to watch. Wow.
But I'm sure it's Simeone who wanted it this way.
I bet he's even happy with this 1 goal deficit!
It's weird how shape and form works, isn't it?
Just look at Salah right now compared to couple months ago. Crazy!
City will be having a nightmare mentality! Liverpool don't care about no paycheck, the only thing on their mind is winning! We here for the smoke. YNWA
Sarcastic congratulations to konate😁😁
I for one am extremely happy with the game Atleti played, it seemed like we just wanted to survive against this man city super team and that's just what we did. I'm thinking we will be more powerful on the counter attack in the metropolitano next week. Aupa Atleti!
As a FC Porto fan i understand you, Adrian: playing against Liverpool is frustrating, their attack is terrible for any defense, no portuguese team is able to stop them, that's the truth.
in my opinion, atleti in the wanda really needs suarez, either starting, or coming off the bench, as his latest performance vs alaves shows that.
Bobby firmino is not a true 9, so liverpool won the league and CL without a true #9 before city.
"Liverpool's defence isn't as airtight as it used to be" – let's debunk that because we have played 11 league games so far in 2022, in that we have 8 clean sheets and and 4 goals conceded. Those goals were a 2-2 vs Chelsea in what was a good game vs Cheslea on top form at the time whilst we had a couple missing in what was relatively a spell of bad for (single draw and loss heading into it). The other 2 were 3-1 wins where the goal conceded changed nothing (if anything woke us up vs Norwich and made us play better). We conceded 3 times in the FA Cup in 4 fixtures, all wins. 3 clean sheets in 3 league Cup games. Add the 2 conceded vs Inter and Benfica and you have a grand total of 9 goals conceded in 21 games.
I'd stick me neck out and say that's as close to airtight a defence as you'll find in any top League, Cup and Continental campaign in that time.
Adrian I love you 💕
Hope we take our form into the weekend so we can overtake City. I want the Quad. #YNWA
What happened to Paco ? 😢
I think that the City defense was amazing last night (or afternoon here in Brazil). The tactical fouls from City strangled any attempts from Atletico (especially with João Felix). The referee did nothing about it, so that task was even more difficult for Atleti
Liverpool's new motto should be: "We never attack alone."
now that theres no away goal rule, there is no incentive for the underdog not to park the bus away from home. Atletico did what they should have given the structure of the competition
Liverpool have conceded TWO goals in their last TEN league games …. The defence remains very airtight 90% of the time.
0-0's don't mean boring.. League Cup finals was 0-0 for 120 mins but was insane intensity from both sides!
What’s more amazing is Reds are doing it with under 1m weekly for five, wait. The entire attack cost Liverpool under 1m weekly.
Konate aint ish. Liverpool uses Van Dijk as a decoy on corners sometimes.
I thought Benfica gave a pretty good account of themselves. They were quick to close down, reasonable defensive organization and dangerous counter. What really impressed me was how they all seemed to be able to change direction with the speed of a gazelle. I've never seen an entire team be so good at that! I'm just glad Liverpool didn't approach the match as a given 😉
Good analysis! As a Benfiquista I never really had much hope that we would win this game, there's just too much of a gap, Liverpool can probably buy almost the whole Benfica team by selling only one of their players. Anyway, just one thing I do disagree is the penalty call, and I'm perhaps a bit biased, but having played most of my time in those 2 positions (centre back and striker) I completely understand what happened when Darwin cut inside and van Dijk seeing he could no longer catch him, used his arm to stop him (I've done it 😋), which worked but was definitely used illegally to stop the striker, however I agree that Darwin did fall too easily, which definitely contributed to the no call (definitely not as bad as the no call in Chelsea vs Newcastle, the guy almost took a Newcastle jersey home). Also, it is true when you say refs tend to not to give the call if there's little chance he'll get the ball but that's just wrong from the ref's part as you're benefiting the infractor, a foul is a foul. Anyway, as long as we don't get crushed in Liverpool I think it would still be positive show for Benfica.
Preach
i dont get is it afrian or paco? im confused
Juaaa!!! Premier League, if this league were the best in the world, England would be recognized as a power in football, and it is not. That is the big problem of Concacaf, instead of looking at Germany, they look at England, a lot of money yes, but little fútbol
Benfica aren't too good but just give us some fan heart!! some good old irrational love for the 'vermelho e branco' that's what it's about
But loserpool fans cry about squad depth lol
You should do a preview with the RedmenTV. Liverpools biggest fan channel, and the god father's of football fan channels. The OG!
Someone is salty after that Benfica v Liverpool livestream… ROFL..
Short vids like these are superior
7:08 – Adrian behind the scenes of that Benfica v Liverpool livestream.. really hope Steve the cat didn't see that.
Llorente is such a talented player my god,he surprises me every time that he plays
Ps Llorente* not Yorentei
And on top of the Mane/Salah/Firmino/Dias/Jota attacking options, we still have Origi and Minamino on the bench who (while perhaps not as consistent as the main 5 options) can both cause problems for opposition teams on their day. So yeah, we kinda do have two full, quality attacking line ups.
The issue with athletico is that they only know how to play one way. Simeone can’t make them turn it up after they go down especially against a team like man city.
Also liverpools offense is their best defense, nobody wants to step out when you can get counter attacked
as a liverpool fan, i can only laugh at this ridiculous notion, but thanks for the vote of confidence all the same.
why do they hate grealish so much? come on thats elizabeth swan!! give some respect for the pirate girl!😂
dont forget minamino
I know everyone loves Klopp, but I really don't like the way he diminishes smaller sides in the way he talks.
But it matches Liverpool fans. They mostly live in their own bubble.
Lewandowski
Sane
Gnabry
Coman
Müller
Musiala
How do you evaluate the Minamino transfer retrospectively?
Is Everton cebolinha playing well?
Haven’t heard much from him in a while
Actual benfica fan : don't think that was a pen … it was really soft
Penchester and varca fans : Penalty!!! LIVARPOOL
Atletico had a game plan of not being clattered in Manchester and stealing the tie in Madrid.. I can see it potentially happening. I dont love Simone, but hes no amateur.
Our league winning season we had Origi and Shaqiri as our only backups, and as much as I loved them, man is the current squad a sight to see and admire.
Adrian Star Wars nerd confirmed.
Not as air tight as it used to be?!? That’s hilarious. Have you seen how many clean sheets Liverpool have had this season?
