Liverpool cruises past Atletico Madrid 2-0 to advance into the Champions League round of 16
Liverpool and Ajax extended their perfect winning records in the Champions League on Wednesday to advance into the round of 16 that’s starting to take a 1970s throwback look.
Liverpool had never opened a Champions League group stage with four wins, though it was rarely troubled against Atletico in Group B after Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane scored in the first 21 minutes. Atletico dropped to third in the group behind Porto, which was held to a 1-1 draw at last-place AC Milan.
Second-place Dortmund trails Ajax by six points in Group C with two rounds left. Dortmund is level on points with Sporting Lisbon, which routed Besiktas 4-0 and hosts the German side next on Nov. 24.
