On September 18, on the second day of the first round of the Champions League, a strong dialogue started at Anfield Stadium, and Liverpool fought against Atletico Madrid. The two teams played a turbulent game in this game. Liverpool was tied with a 2-goal lead. In the last moment, Van Dijk scored the winning goal and led the team to win. After this game, Liverpool's new player Ekitic's main position is difficult. Liverpool won 3-2, with 95 million strikers appearing: they scored 0 goals in 5 games and gave way to Isaac. In just 4 minutes of the game, Salah shot a free kick and bounced into the goal on Robertson, and Liverpool was lucky to lead. Two minutes later, Salah broke away from the defense in a multi-player siege and scored the ball, helping Liverpool 2-0 with his strong personal ability. In stoppage time in the first half, Llorente's goal won a goal for Atletico Madrid. The game climaxed continuously in the last stage of the second half. In the 81st minute, Lorente's goal chased Atletico Madrid to 2-2. In the 92nd minute, Van Dijk scored a header. Atletico Madrid coach Simeone was sent off with a red card after a conflict with Liverpool fans. Liverpool narrowly won.

5 games in the new season, Liverpool won every game, which is so exciting. This also exposed Liverpool's problems. They spent 483 million euros in the summer window to sign players and signed players such as Isaac, Wilz, Ekitic, and Kelkez. After Liverpool's reinforcement, the results did not look good. Among them, Ekitic transferred from Frankfurt with a transfer fee of 95 million euros and performed poorly recently.

In the game against Atletico Madrid, Ekitic gave Isaac a transfer fee of 145 million euros as a substitute and got a chance to play in the 58th minute. Ekitic missed two excellent opportunities after coming on the court and received a goal from Werz in the penalty area to kick the ball away. At the end of the game, Salah passed to the front of the goal, and Ekitic, who was unguarded, did not kick the ball within the goal frame, and he wasted the opportunity to kill the game. Ekitic in this game made Liverpool fans think of Nunez, and his shooting skills were too poor.

In Ekitic's last five games, facing Arsenal, Burnley, Atletico Madrid, and 2 national team games, Ekitic has not scored, assisted 0 times, with a maximum of 6.6 after the game. After Ekitic was in a goal drought and opened high and closed low, Liverpool would definitely prefer to start Isaac, who has proved himself in the Premier League and has a higher transfer fee. In fact, Liverpool should not buy two centers at a high price this summer, and the transfer fee for introducing Ekitic should be purchased for the left-winger.
