Liverpool might have gone 1-0 down to Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the last 16, but they can still win the Champions League. This is why.

The Reds lost 1-0 to Diego Simeone‘s side in Madrid and will have to score two past this mean, warrior-esque defence who defend the goal like their lives depend on it.

Against West Ham this side showed they are willing to fight for their lives and their comeback win was impressive because of the mental fortitude they showed to get there, rather than their individual skill.

But the Champions League is different. It’s a pure cup competition against the best, most well-drilled sides in Europe. The fact that Liverpool have been able to get to the final two years in a row is incredible but it means we can’t take them for granted.

We are experiencing one of the best times every to be a Liverpool fan. We nearly have a fully fit squad, Jordan Henderson should be fit for the reverse leg, Anfield is a sold-out cauldron every week and is only going to get bigger, we could win the Premier League with just three more victories and are still in the FA Cup.

Read through the slides below to see five reasons why we can still win the Champions League, despite going into the second leg a goal down.
