According to Mundo Deportivo, all eyes will be on Llorente at Anfield. This attention stems entirely from his own performance, as the player has turned Liverpool's home ground into his personal lucky charm. He has played at this stadium twice, scoring a total of 4 goals, and now he hopes to prove that good things don't just come in twos.

The report states that on March 12, 2020, Llorente stepped onto the Anfield pitch for the first time in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16.

Atlético Madrid fought hard to defend their 1-0 lead from the first leg at the Metropolitano Stadium. Wijnaldum scored for Liverpool, and Firmino added another goal at the start of extra time. With Simeone's team in dire straits, Llorente stepped up to the challenge. He scored in the 96th and 105th minutes, helping the Rojiblancos take the lead, and ultimately Morata scored from an assist by Llorente, securing the win for Atlético.

This was the match where Llorente burst onto the scene for Atlético Madrid, having joined the team midway through the season with limited opportunities. Simeone recognized the talent of the Madrid-born player in training and decided to give him more playing time higher up the pitch, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Last visit to Anfield

Llorente's connection with Anfield continued during Atlético's most recent visit. Now a wing-back, he had not featured in their previous encounter, but Simeone's team gave him an opportunity this time. Although Atlético lost the match, Llorente scored two goals. Unfortunately, his brace wasn't enough for victory, as Van Dijk scored a last-minute winner in stoppage time.
