Diego Simeone masterminded a classic Atletico Madrid rearguard action to frustrate holders Liverpool in the first leg of the last 16 in the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.

Atleti won 1-0 in the Spanish capital on a night Liverpool forward Sadio Mane will want to forget. He was booked and endured several subsequent attempts to bait him into further rash action until Reds boss Jurgen Klopp removed the prolific No. 10 for his own protection.

Mane wasn't the only big name to suffer on a night when Paris Saint-Germain lost 2-1 away to Borussia Dortmund.
