Champions League: Van Dijk Heads Liverpool To Dramatic Late Win Over Atletico In Opener

By IANS News September 18, 2025 • 09:10 AM View: 336

Champions League: Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk powered home a stoppage-time header to snatch a 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid in a pulsating Champions League group-stage opener on Wednesday night at Anfield.

The Dutchman rose highest to meet a corner in the 92nd minute, sealing the points just as the game seemed destined for a draw after Marcos Llorente’s brace had pulled the visitors back from two goals down.

Moments later, Atletico manager Diego Simeone was shown a red card after clashing with the crowd in a fiery ending.
