Atletico's number 14 spoke to the media after the match ended.
Marcos Llorente was once again a standout performer at Anfield. The Madrid-born player put Atlético ahead, but his goal was not enough to earn the team any points. After the match, he spoke to reporters from Movistar.
On the match: "We started the game really well. We scored a very difficult goal here. They put us under pressure, pushed us back and equalized. The second half belonged to them. We lacked the energy to hurt them with turnovers. We failed to hold onto the result. The team put in a good performance against a top opponent. "
First half: "The first half was really good. We were running into space and combining well. You go into it with nothing, and nothing else matters. "
Love affair with Anfield: "There's no way I can score here again. I'm really happy to have scored here, but when the team doesn't win and you're an older player, it makes absolutely no difference to you"
Changes in positioning: "The coach believes there are several positions I can play. I adapt to whatever the coach asks for, since he’s the one in charge. "

My favorite player. People always prioritize goal scorers and great strikers I get that, but Marcus Llorente is a total baller, truly all rounder. energy, determination, playmaking, goal scoring, defending, he's everywhere doing everything. if our team have 2 more players like him we can go places. The only player in Spain or Atleti who's shirt I'd buy.
