Liverpool's UEFA Champions League defence came to a stuttering end amid a series of gaffes from backup goalkeeper Adrian. The Spaniard replaced the injured Alisson Becker for the last-16 second-leg tie against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, but he failed to keep out two long-range shots from substitute Marcos Llorente.

Atleti's unlikely two-goal hero helped secure an improbable 3-2 win at Anfield. Alvaro Morata's goal late on not only continued the streak of players coming off the bench to make the difference for Diego Simeone's side, but it also secured a 4-2 aggregate triumph.
