Liverpool were beaten 1-0 by Atletico Madrid on Tuesday evening, giving them work to do in their Champions League last 16 tie.
The antics of the Atletico players seemed to irritate Jurgen Klopp and his players, as did some of the officiating on the night.
Revenge will be in the air when the Reds face their opponents in the second leg on March 11th, as Anfield hopefully hosts another famous European occasion.
Mohamed Salah was below his best at the Wanda Metropolitano, finding himself substituted in the second half.
The Egyptian was in bullish spirits on social media on Thursday, however, with a Twitter post throwing down the gauntlet to Atletico:

The second leg could prove to be a fascinating tussle, with Diego Simeone’s side likely to defend for their lives.
Klopp will hope that he can continue his record of not losing a two-legged European clash during his time at Liverpool.
The first goal could be crucial, as the Reds look to avenge a disappointing defeat in midweek.
