    Let's kick things off with a reminder of how the game unfolded...

    BBC Sport journalist

    Time now to shuffle away from Liverpool and look at the other English side who were in action last night.

    Chelsea made their return to the Champions League with a defeat against Bayern Munich.

  3. Recap: Last-gasp Liverpool do it again

    That's your lot with regard to Liverpool this morning.

    We'll be turning attention to Chelsea now but before we do, here's a recap of all the best bits from our Reds analysis:

  4. Another Ngumoha milestone

    Rio Ngumoha became the youngest player to appear for Liverpool in a major European competition on Wednesday evening.

    Aged just 17 years and 19 days, the teenager replaced £116million man Florian Wirtz in the 74th minute.

    While he wasn't the one to find the winner this time, Ngumoha looked right at home on the biggest stage and played with absolutely zero fear during his cameo.

    He won a number of corners for his side as Liverpool began knocking on the door before eventually finding the winner.

    From the tried-and-tested to the new and upcoming.

    It feels only right we end our Liverpool feast with a nod to young Rio Ngumoha, who once again set a new record for the Reds on Wednesday evening.

  6. 'Isak is a joy to watch'

    Alexander Isak shakes hands with Arne SlotPA Media

    Liverpool manager Arne Slot on the performance of new striker Alexander Isak: "In the 60 minutes he played, he seemed to be quite fit to me. It wasn't as if after 10 minutes he was already very tired. He could play at this level quite well after one or two weeks of team sessions.

    "He can play football and he's a joy to watch. That is not a surprise to me. He was fitter than I expected, but the fans can't get their hopes too high. We play three times a week and that's a bit too much for him still.

    "We have two great number nines [Isak and Hugo Ekitike] and we're going to use both of them throughout their career here."

  7. Get Involved - 'Simeone and standards?'

    Simeone and standards!? He spends most of his time outside the technical area and even on the pitch at times! That’s NOT the image he should be portraying. I bet people involved in grassroots football will be very happy he was sent off. Well done referee.

  8. Get Involved - 'Simeone makes a valid point'

    Click 'Get Involved' at the top of this page to have your say

    Simeone does make a valid point. How exactly is it supporting your club by just abusing and insulting everyone else? It's not "banter"; it's simply adults behaving like terrible people without any consequences. It puts a lot of people off football.

    James, St Albans

    I have sympathy with Diego Simeone, the behaviour of some fans towards players/managers and officials is bordering on criminal at times. It is a bad example to set to young fans and people who attend grass roots football. Clubs need to be held accountable.

  9. Isak eases his way into Liverpool life

    Liverpool 3-2 Atletico Madrid

    Phil McNulty
    BBC Sport chief football writer

    Alexander Isak, understandably, was some way from his best but showed enough in 58 minutes to give a golden hint to what riches his future may offer.

    Liverpool were actually 2-0 ahead before Isak got his first touch in a red shirt after 10 minutes and there were anxious groans around Anfield when he was left banging his hand on the turf in agony after Atletico defender Robin Le Normand's late challenge made painful contact with the top of his foot.

    Isak had two shots which brought saves from Atletico keeper Jan Oblak, but the most significant takeaway was his link with another Liverpool new boy, £116m playmaker Florian Wirtz.

    The pair dovetailed superbly in the first half to create a chance for Jeremie Frimpong, which he could not convert, then Isak's instinctive flick - with his back to goal and without a look - was played straight into the German's path, bringing roars of approval from Liverpool's fans.

    Isak and Wirtz linked up nine times in the game, this small sample size of their work together suggesting they will be a formidable weapon in Liverpool's armoury.

    It was a quiet introduction for Isak - but enough to show what he will bring.

  10. Thumb poll: Should Atletico's first goal have been disallowed?

    Ben Ramsdale
    BBC Sport

    Good point made by all.

    It was certainly a big talking point last night. Ally McCoist on commentary seemed convinced it was going to be chalked off.

    Only right we have a thumb poll to get a definitive answer, don't you think?

    Aware there are probably quite a few Liverpool fans on this page right now so try and be as honest as you can!

    Should Atletico Madrid's first goal last night have been ruled out?

    Thumbs up if you think yes, thumbs down if you think no.

  11. Get Involved - Atletico's first goal 'clearly offside'

    Click 'Get Involved' at the top of this page to have your say

    Why is there no mention of the first Atletico goal? As blatant a disallowed goal you'll ever see. That gets ruled out and Liverpool stroll the 2nd half.

    Carl, Burnley

    Admittedly I am a Liverpool fan, but that first Atletico goal not being called offside is a joke. I would call it a joke if it was scored by Liverpool. Keen to hear some justification for standing directly in front of keeper not influencing play.

    Sam, Glasgow

    A lot of talk about Liverpools, "Luck". It's not lucky scoring a goal - that's skill. You could argue Liverpool were unlucky last night as their first goal was clearly offside. Haters gonna hate!

  12. 'Do you know what it is like to be insulted for 90 minutes?'

    Liverpool 3-2 Atletico Madrid

    Atletico Madrid

    More from Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone after being asked about the nature of the insults he was receiving: "The truth is I cannot remember exactly. I don't want to enter into the situation.

    "The thing I have is that I have to maintain my position. I need to know how to withstand everything that happens in front of the dugout, and know I cannot fix society. I, and whichever manager, has to live with this because it happens all of the time.

    "My reaction isn't justifiable but do you know what it is like to be insulted for 90 minutes? I hope Liverpool can improve that aspect and that when they identify the person who did that, there will be consequences."

  13. 'I regret the part I played' - Simeone

    Liverpool 3-2 Atletico Madrid

    Diego Simeone speaking in his news conference about the incident following Virgil van Dijk's winner: "Firstly I regret the part I played. It's clear we are in a position where we do not have the right to react and it is not good when we react.

    "We [managers] are in a position where we are protagonists/standard bearers, so in the same manner that we fight against racism and insults in stadiums today, we could also fight on behalf of the managers, against the insults we receive throughout the whole game.

    "It's not easy to be in the position we are in and receive insults for the whole game. I saw it from far away after the third goal. I saw the third goal go in and I turned, the insults continued, and well, I'm a person."

  14. Get Involved - A rugby-style clock over added time?

    Click 'Get Involved' at the top of this page to have your say

    As much as I like the drama of added time, I wonder if a rugby-style clock would be better? There is still the drama of the clock edging towards 90mins, but it stops people getting angry just because a team scored in the (perfectly legitimate) Xth minute of "added time".

  15. What happened with Simeone?

    Liverpool 3-2 Atletico Madrid

    That other talking point we mentioned? Diego Simeone.

    The Atletico Madrid manager was seen clashing with Liverpool supporters at the end of their dramatic Champions League encounter at Anfield.

    After Reds captain Virgil van Dijk scored a 92nd-minute winner in their 3-2 victory, Simeone reacted after he appeared to be goaded by a small number of home fans.

    The Argentine complained to the fourth official with a number of stewards positioned between him and the Liverpool supporters.

    Simeone had to be dragged away from the scene and continued his protests before he was issued a red card by the referee and walked off down the tunnel.

  16. Recap: Thursday morning's headlines

    A busy one so far today with lots of reaction and analysis to Wednesday evening's Champions League results.

    Liverpool focus for now, but we'll be shifting to Chelsea as we progress through the morning.

    Here are some of the top lines so far:

  17. 'Liverpool look like they are unstoppable at the minute'

    Liverpool 3-2 Atletico Madrid

    BBC 5 Live Breakfast

    Former Manchester United midfielder Nicky Butt believes Liverpool’s winning momentum makes them look unstoppable, highlighting the mentality and quality that comes with being Premier League champions.

    "They were in control of the game, but the most important thing when you're on a roll like Liverpool seems to be is winning and any way you can. You keep doing that, and the players they have on that side and the run that they are on as Premier League winners, they look like they are unstoppable at the minute.

    "When the game starts, they are expected to win, and that's a sign of a top team."

  18. Ben Ramsdale
    BBC Sport

    Loving this back and forth between you lot this morning.

    Making my job very easy and keeping me entertained I must say.

    One more post on #Mentality #MenalityMonsters etc to bring you and then we'll have a recap before jumping onto another of last night's big talking points.

    Sorry for the hashtags this morning. Weird mood today.

  19. Get Involved - 'Time will catch up with Liverpool'

    Click 'Get Involved' at the top of this page to have your say

    I've never fully understand the idea that late goals are purely down to some sort of "mentality", as if other clubs that don't score late goals simply aren't bothered. If it's happening 5 games in a row, and you're also throwing away leads, then yes - it's mostly luck.

    Ryan, London

    Great teams don't lose 2-0 advantage after 6 minutes, time will catch up with Liverpool .

  20. 'Liverpool's mentality was strong'

    They [Liverpool] weren't at their best, but they found a way. Their mentality was strong, and they found a way of getting over the line.

    In this case, it was [Virgil] Van Dijk. He had a lot of complaining with the referees, which I think actually helped him get a little bit of more space for this corner.

    It's a brilliant piece of striker-play from a centre half, to know the moment of the game, to know the team needed it and to start the Champions League run well as well as the momentum they've got this season.
