⚠️ Weather Warning in Merseyside Ahead of Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid, But Match Set to Go Ahead
Liverpool’s upcoming Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid coincides with a yellow weather warning for high winds across Merseyside, sparking concerns about potential disruptions. The Reds are set to host Diego Simeone’s side at Anfield on Wednesday night.
The Met Office has advised that while strong winds may cause travel delays and power interruptions earlier in the week, there are currently no warnings for the day of the match.
Official guidance states: “Strong and gusty winds may lead to travel disruptions and power interruptions. Delays in road, rail, air, and ferry transport are likely, and some coastal areas may experience spray and large waves.” The warning is in effect from Sunday evening through Monday, with conditions expected to improve by midweek.
Fans can take reassurance that the match is scheduled to go ahead as planned, providing relief after last season’s postponement of the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park due to extreme weather.
Liverpool’s Focus on Atletico Madrid
Anfield is expected to be at full capacity as Arne Slot looks to carry domestic form into Europe. Atletico will pose a stern test, though their squad includes Julian Alvarez, who is recovering from a minor injury.
Liverpool may also see new signings Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak make their Champions League debuts in front of the Kop. While conditions for Wednesday appear safe, fans are advised to stay updated on any lingering travel disruptions.
