Sky Sports' Adam Bate reports from Anfield on Liverpool's Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid, highlighting the performance of new signing Barcola. Despite missing a big chance early in the second half, Barcola showed promise with his pace and work rate.

His defensive effort won over the Kop, with fans chanting his name within 15 minutes after he tracked back to stop an Atletico counter-attack. Bate notes that Barcola's speed could be a key weapon for manager Iraola.

However, there was concern as Barcola trudged off before the hour mark. Iraola had emphasized the need to manage his fitness after missing pre-season. Bate suggests Barcola needs to get up to speed quickly but believes he can make a difference based on this display.
