Iraola Debut Clash with Atletico | Sports News

Liverpool’s new boss Andoni Iraola makes his Champions League debut tonight, facing Atletico Madrid in a high-stakes rematch of last season’s opener — a game Liverpool won with a dramatic late header. Coming off a strong win over Ipswich, where Isak dazzled with two early goals, the Reds are set to unleash Bradley Barcola on his Anfield debut — possibly as a starter after coming off the bench last time. Iraola has tweaked the attack, giving Rio Ngumoha his first start and Barcola his first full match, while keeping the same solid defense anchored by Alisson. Cody Gakpo sits out due to injury, with Victor Munoz ready on the bench. This is a pivotal European night — can Iraola’s new-look side build momentum against Diego Simeone’s relentless side?
