Andy Robertson's Comments After First Atletico Madrid Game Clearly Backfired

Fans have uncovered Andy Robertson's comments warning Atletico Madrid about Anfield following Liverpool's Champions League exit.

Atletico defeated Liverpool 3-2 on Wednesday night to advance to the Champions League quarter-finals 4-2 on aggregate.

But Robertson's comments following the first leg have resurfaced and they haven't aged well.

The Scotsman told BT Sport after their 1-0 loss in the first leg: "They celebrated like they won the tie after the game, so let's see. They're coming back to Anfield, we know our fans will be there."

Fans have been quick to bring up the 26-year-old's comments after Diego Simeone's side managed to pick up a victory.

Liverpool managed to take the tie to extra-time after a first-half header from Georginio Wijnaldum.

Jurgen Klopp's side dominated throughout the game but couldn't find a second in normal time.

However, Roberto Firmino netted four minutes into the first half of extra-time to give his side the lead.

But Atletico substitute Marcos Llorente netted a brace to stun Anfield as the half came to a close.

Alvaro Morata then added a third deep into added time to give his side victory on the night alongside progression to the next round.
