Thierry Henry has reportedly sent a warning to Liverpool following their UEFA Champions League victory over Atletico Madrid.
The Reds started their league phase campaign with three points after defeating the Spanish team 3-2 at Anfield on Wednesday night.
After Marcos Llorente’s brace had wiped out Liverpool’s 2-0 lead, Virgil van Dijk scored the game-winning goal in stoppage time.
With the victory, the Reds continue to have a perfect start to the season, winning all their five games in all competitions.

Despite victory in all five of their opening games this season, Liverpool have needed a late goal to win each one.
Henry Warns Liverpool About Conceding Too Much
According to Liverpool Echo, Henry has warned Arne Slot’s team about their chances of winning the Champions League after the Reds have also given up a two-goal lead three times this season.
“I do think, from pre-season, they concede too many goals,” Henry told CBS Sports Golazo on Wednesday night.
“They got bailed out again the other day against Burnley, and you have to find a way to win games, so we’re not complaining about that.
“But in the Champions League, if you concede too many goals, it’s a tough one to win.”
Liverpool will now be ready to play Everton in the Merseyside derby in their upcoming Premier League game, this weekend. The Reds will travel to play Galatasaray on September 30 in their next Champions League match.
“If you want to beat a team like Atletico, which is known and has an unbelievable mentality, you have to beat them with their own weapon as well and that is mentality,” Slot said after the game.
