Jurgen Klopp warns his Liverpool players that Atletico Madrid will 'EAT' them if they are not 'incredibly brave' and up for a 'proper fight' at the Wanda Metropolitano

Jurgen Klopp has warned Liverpool's players they will get eaten by Atletico Madrid if they repeat the performance that saw them lose their European crown.

The Wanda Metropolitano stadium holds special memories for Klopp, whose team won the Champions League here in June 2019, but their most recent visit in February 2020 was abject and ended in a 1-0 defeat in the last 16; Atletico completed the job at Anfield a month later, winning 3-2.

Klopp has never overseen a Liverpool win in Spain during his six years in charge - he has lost four and drawn one of five matches - and believes that sequence will be extended if there is any kind of drop from the blistering form they have shown in the Premier League.
