Welcome along. The Champions League is back!

The tournament that Liverpool dragged their way into kicking and screaming last season returns this week, and the Reds are starting exactly as they did a year ago with a home game against Atletico Madrid.

There are a few different characters this time around though, and one of them, head coach Andoni Iraola, will be here from 1pm to preview the game, as will Reds midfielder Alexis Mac Allister.

Stay with us.
