Atlético is already preparing the Champions League match against Liverpool. On the field of play Simeone wants to recover Marcos Llorente and Cunha for the clash. And at the club level, Atlético knows that it is a big game, one of the ones that arouses the most interest among the fans of the Madrid entity. But not only among the red and white social mass. The Wanda Metropolitano can now cover all its locations , and that means it will have to give Liverpool 5 per cent of its capacity. In total, Liverpool will have at their disposal 3,300 tickets for the clash.
And the leaders of the English club have already indicated that they want all the tickets and that the match is also marked in red on the reds fans' calendar. For Liverpool it is also a special match for many reasons. The English team has an extra motivation, since Atlético eliminated them from the 2019-20 Champions League, on the already famous night of Marcos Llorente at Anfield. If Liverpool won the game on the 19th, it would take an almost definitive step to be first in the group stage of this new edition of the Champions League.
Atlético, on the other hand, has to adapt to the new normal. Last Saturday, against Barcelona, the Wanda Metropolitano was able to register its total capacity. More than 60,000 spectators came to the stadium, although there were practically no visiting fans in the stands of the rojiblanco enclosure. In the clash on the 19th it will be different and Atlético will already have to open the sector reserved for the rival fans. After a year and a half he will have to reactivate all protocols for visiting fans.
The rojiblanco enclosure will relive the meeting lived on February 18 of last year, with a crowd in the stands in the round of 16 first leg of this competition. The 1-0 goal, Saúl's goal, left everything open for the second leg, in which Atlético completed a historic night. In the first leg, the Metropolitan Wanda registered a full capacity to the flag and passion was unleashed among the rojiblanca fans.
For the clash to be played on November 3 in Liverpool, The Madrid club has also asked for 5 percent of the tickets that correspond to it. However, it will be necessary to see the number of Atlético fans who want to travel to Liverpool for the match.
