Liverpool extended their scoring run across all competitions to ten consecutive matches as M. Llorente opened the scoring for the visitors in the 17th minute, assisted by J. Alvarez. Atleti arrived following a heavy defeat away at Athletic, while the hosts had put together a four-match unbeaten sequence that included a recent victory away at Ipswich Town. Despite controlling 55 percent of possession and registering four shots on target, the visitors could not hold their advantage against 14 total shots from Liverpool.
D. Szoboszlai equalised in the 40th minute with an assist from R. Araujo, earning an 8.5 rating for his efforts, before A. Mac Allister netted the winner in the 50th minute following an assist by A. Isak. That decisive second strike added to an overall expected goals total of 1.62 for the hosts, comfortably outstripping the visitors' 0.91 figure. M. Llorente finished as the highest-rated visitor with an 8, while Cristian Romero also earned a positive rating of 7.5. The recent history between these clubs already included a five-goal meeting here on 17 Sep 2025 that also finished in a home victory by a single-goal margin.
Following this result within the 24-team standings, PSG led the table on 3 points, leaving the visitors 3 points behind the early leaders after matchday 1. Liverpool next play at home to Fulham on 12 Sep.
