Atletico Madrid fullback Renan Lodi felt victory over Liverpool was his best performance for the club.

The Brazilian impressed as Atletico won the first-leg of their Champions League round 16 tie 1-0 in Madrid last night.

Lodi stated: "I think it was one of my best games with the Atlético shirt. I also remember the match against Celta as a good match.

"In the last games I was not well and that's why they changed me. I was waiting for that confidence to play the 90 minutes.

"(Diego) Simeone is like a father to me, I know that all his decisions are for my good."

On the return-leg, the Brazilian added: "We know the Anfield game will be very complicated and we are prepared for everything."
