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. "I don't think I have to do that much to be honest (in the second leg), I hope I can be focused a little bit more on the game. "Our people will be ready. Welcome to Anfield! It's not over yet." Klopp replaced Sadio Mane at half-time with the Senegalese at risk of being sent-off as Atletico players surrounded Marciniak demanding a second yellow card for the African player of the year just before the break. "He was targeted that was clear," added Klopp.
