Liverpool hosted PSV Eindhoven in the fifth fixture of the UEFA Champions League at Anfield, and the match ended with a 1-4 loss for the Reds.
The painful loss comes to aggravate Liverpool’s already existing issues as they have been suffering locally and on a European level this season.
It is true that they retain 13th place, with three wins and two losses, and a number of points that is not catastrophic and allows them to qualify for the knockout round playoffs; however, losing a home game to PSV is worrying, given it adds to their poor run of form.
What is even more worrying is the team’s unconvincing performance and their inability to be as dangerous as needed from an attacking perspective, for various reasons.
On the other hand, PSV achieved a new milestone in their current UEFA Champions League journey, beating Napoli 6-2, confirming that they do not fear any opponent.
In this tactical analysis, our main focus will be to explore what went wrong in Liverpool’s attacking tactics and performance, assessing the wrong decisions and the situations that they could have dealt with in a better way.
Inter Milan’s perfect UEFA Champions League record came to an end on Wednesday against Atlético Madrid.
A stoppage-time goal from a corner by José María Giménez lifted Diego Simeone’s side to a sixth straight win.
Atlético Madrid desperately needed the win because they were hovering near the bottom eight of the league phase, but the win jumped them up into 12th place.
It was a second straight loss for Inter after their 1-0 defeat in the Milan Derby to their inner city rivals.
This season after Simone Inzaghi left for Al-Hilal hasn’t really gone according to plan for Inter.
They are currently sitting fourth in the Serie A table and have already lost four league matches, when they only lost a total of five last season.
It was a fascinating tactical battle between Diego Simeone and Cristian Chivu, but the match more than likely should have ended up as a draw.
In this tactical analysis article, we will take a look at Atlético Madrid’s build-up tactics against Inter Milan’s mid-block, Inter’s utilisation of their full-backs pushing forward, and how Inter Milan tilted the field against Atlético Madrid.
