Liverpool came from behind to beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 at Anfield in the Champions League, with Alexis Mac Allister scoring a stunning winner. Bradley Barcola had an eventful full debut, forcing a save before being substituted due to cramp. Marcos Llorente opened the scoring for Atletico, but Dominik Szoboszlai equalized before halftime.

Mac Allister's second-half strike sealed the victory. Coach Andoni Iraola confirmed Barcola's issue was cramp, not injury, praising his chances created. The win gives Liverpool an early boost in the group stage.
