# Liverpool fans hail Oxlade-Chamberlain’s performance against Atletico

A number of Liverpool fans have been lauding Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s performance against Atletico Madrid, despite the Reds losing on the night.

Jurgen Klopp’s side were dumped out of the Champions League in unjust fashion on Wednesday, following a dramatic evening at Anfield.

After a 1-0 win in normal time, extra-time saw four goals scored, with Atletico eventually prevailing 3-2 on the night and 4-2 on aggregate.

Oxlade-Chamberlain was handed a start in midfield and he played a starring role for Liverpool, providing constant energy and quality, crossing for Gini Wijnaldum to head home the opener.

There were echoes of the 26-year-old’s performances in 2017/18, when he became such a key man before suffering a [cruciate ligament injury](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/jul/18/alex-oxlade-chamberlain-out-for-season-knee-injury-liverpool).

Despite Liverpool bowing out of Europe, ending Klopp’s run of never losing a European knockout tie as Reds manager, it was hard to have too many qualms with the performance.

These Liverpool supporters took to Twitter to single out Oxlade-Chamberlain for special praise, on a night when his reputation soared.

> HUGE shoutouts to Oxlade-Chamberlain and Gini Wijnaldum.\
> One of their best performances in a Liverpool jersey.\
> Didn't deserve to lose.\
> 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

> Oxlade-Chamberlain repaid Klopp’s faith in abundance tonight. Constant thorn in Atletico’s side; demanded the ball, drove at the defence and got in between the channels. Exceptional all-round.
