Liverpool and Atlético Madrid have a rivalry that goes beyond a Champions League match. Therefore, today not only three points are played, if not, much more.

Liverpool host Atlético Madrid this Wednesday for Group B of the UEFA Champions League. In the preview of the match, the official ‘colchoneros’ account changed the historic cover of the ‘Abbey Road’ album by ‘The Beatles’, a band identified with the English club, in a clear provocation.

The official account of the Colchonero box replaced John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrisson with Diego Simeone, Luis Suárez, João Félix and Kieran Trippier. Atlético Madrid and his clear provocation to Liverpool.

The edited image shows that ‘Cholo’ Simeone, Luis Suárez, João Félix and Kieran Trippier replaced John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrisson, the famous members of the disappeared musical group. On the zebra crossing, the ‘Pistolero’ looks distractedly towards the camera and is followed by the Portuguese attacker João Félix with his head bowed. In third position, the Argentine coach appears raising his arms and, finally, Trippier claps his hands up.

In addition, in the Instagram post, the ‘colchonero’ cast put as a description “All You Need Is Atleti”, a parody of “All You Need Is Love”, an emblematic song of ‘The Beatles’. The fans of both teams argued in the comments. The truth is that the meeting in the first leg meant more than a game. In fact, it ended up with the anger of Jürgen Klopp with Diego Simeone, since the Argentine, angry, decided not to greet him when the game ended.
