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.
