Football Shock loss for Liverpool
With voting for the 2018 Ballon d’Or closing this week, Antoine Griezmann boosted his chances of lifting the most prestigious individual trophy in football with an inspired display and a goal in his 50th Champions League game yesterday. Griezmann helped Atletico Madrid bounce back from a heavy loss to Borussia Dortmund with a 2-0 win over the German club, a result that sent last year’s semifinalist Monaco crashing out. Liverpool were handed a 2-0 shock loss at Red Star Belgrade for whom scored in the 22nd and 29th minutes, while Barcelona, without Lionel Messi, drew 1-1 at Inter Milan to become the first team to progress to the knockout stage this season.
