Atletico Madrid ace Joao Felix: We must keep Liverpool attacking trio quiet

Atletico Madrid ace Joao Felix says keeping Liverpool's attack quiet will be key in tonight's Champions League clash.

Felix admits they must be wary of Reds trio Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.

He said, “We expect a very strong team. What we all know. It's Liverpool. They have a great team, especially their attack, it is great, but we are prepared for them and we will do everything possible to win. Salah is dangerous, Mané is dangerous, Jota is dangerous. At the bottom line they are dangerous… It will be difficult.

"We know that they are very aggressive, they press a lot. This can be good or bad for us. The pressure they exert can give us a lot of room to play, but maybe not. We just have to be prepared for both situations."

On working with Antoine Griezmann and Luis Suarez, Felix added: "I have learned a lot. This is the second year that I play with Luis, with Antoine it is the first. I can see a lot of quality, a lot of experience and this is good for me, as a young player, to learn and work with them."
