What happened. Bradley Barcola made his first Liverpool start in their Champions League win over Atletico Madrid but was wasteful in front of goal. He had a one-on-one saved by Jan Oblak and later struck wide from a clear chance.

• Barcola joined Liverpool from PSG for £123m late in the summer window.
• He debuted off the bench at Ipswich before starting against Atletico.
• Tim Sherwood said Barcola 'missed a few sitters' on Sky Sports.
