Liverpool player ratings just hit different when there’s a 90+2’ winner involved. If your heart did burpee jumps while refreshing Live Score, same yaar. Another Champions League night, another late show, because apparently calm endings are banned at Anfield. Strap in, grab water, and let’s rate the madness.

The One With The Captain’s Clutch Gene
Virgil van Dijk went full “90s Bollywood hero,” showing up in stoppage time to head home the winner when the script demanded a twist. Liverpool let their 2–0 lead get gobbled up, but big Virgil rallied everyone for one last set-piece and delivered with a 90+2’ dabangg moment. He organized the backline every time Atletico threatened and made more key clearances than half of us have naps on a Sunday. That chest-thump? Yeah, that’s “never gives up” energy bottled. Anfield, late-winner FC, season 95 of “heart attack football.”Mo-mentum Operator (You Already Know)
Mohammed Salah didn’t even wait; he set up the opener from a free-kick and then slotted home the second inside six minutes (full Mo show, what else is new?). Even when Atletico began the comeback, he was teasing defenders and whipping in a cross late that was straight-up begging for a tap-in. Bro went all-out sprints till the end, proving once again: transitions, tap-ins, tap-outs, Mo can do them all and still smile at full-time.

Robo Mode: Early Impact, Heavy Miles
Robertson was pinging up and down the left like his Fitbit was tracking for a marathon, bagged the opener (via deflection, but points for effort), and shut down counters with recovery sprints worthy of a Rocky montage. Subbed off late, probably to check if he’s still got feet. Liverpool’s wing-backs remain chaos engines, great for memes, less so for their calf muscles. Moral: Robo’s Fitbit needs therapy. Klopp’s gegenpress: fun for us, cardio trauma for them.Debut Watch: The New No. 9’s First Taste
Alexander Isak got his “Hello, Anfield!” moment, drifting left, dropping deep, and giving Atletico a little taste of what’s coming. He wasn’t going full 90 (manager confirmed pre-game, load management op), but the touches and half-turns? Saucy. Managed a sharp effort on target and linked well in Liverpool’s revolving attack. Subbed before the real wildness began. Verdict: soft launch successful, updates pending.

- Plot Twist FC: Atletico’s Fightback & Sidelines Drama
Just when you thought you could tweet “job done,” Marcos Llorente snatched two goals (one before halftime, one in the 81st) and turned Anfield into a real-life suspense thriller. Atletico’s coach went full spicy, a late red card, and post-match rants about insults from the stands. Liverpool’s season of “barely making it but making it anyway” is the hottest content around. Love the drama, but my BP can’t take it every week!
Another European night, another dil‑dhadak finish. Liverpool fans, cardio ka subscription canceled. Who’s your Man of the Match and what’s your rating for the debut lad?
