Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp expects a very different atmosphere at Anfield will help turn his side’s Champions League last 16 tie with Atletico Madrid around after a 1-0 first leg defeat in the Spanish capital on Tuesday. Saul Niguez’s early strike inflicted just Liverpool’s second defeat of the season in all competitions with a senior team. The holders were frustrated by the hosts’ playacting and Polish referee Szymon Marciniak’s performance as Atletico boss Diego Simeone whipped the Wanda Metropolitano crowd into a frenzy. “Wow, that’s energy!” Klopp told BT Sport when asked about Simeone’s touchline antics.
