Liverpool and Atletico Madrid clashed in the opening round of the UEFA Champions League. For the Madrid side, the match got off to a disastrous start, and the team set a new negative record right from the opening minutes.
Details: Atletico Madrid have set a personal anti-record in the Champions League. In the showdown against Liverpool, Diego Simeone's side conceded two goals in the first six minutes of the match—something that had never happened before in his era.
This was not only a first under the Argentine manager, but also the first time in Atletico's Champions League history. Such a disastrous start left 'Los Colchoneros' fans in utter shock.
Atletico's problems aren't limited to the Champions League: their La Liga campaign has also been disappointing, with Simeone's men collecting just 5 points from their first four matches.
For the record: Jan Oblak became the first goalkeeper in Atletico's history to reach 500 appearances for the club.
