Atalanta vs Liverpool LIVE: Europa League latest score and updates with Reds chasing more goals | OneFootball

Losing to Atalanta at Anfield a ‘low point’ for Liverpool, Klopps says

Liverpool require one more European comeback under Jurgen Klopp as the Reds travel to Atalanta looking to keep their Europa League hopes alive.

Klopp’s side were favourites to reach the Dublin final on May 22 and provide a fitting farewell for the German manager, but Atalanta ripped up the script as they stunned Anfield with a 3-0 victory in last week’s quarter-final first leg.

Liverpool have overturned a 3-0 defeat under Klopp before, famously against Barcelona and Lionel Messi in the Champions League in 2019, but that was at Anfield. But Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace means the Reds are without a win in three games. Follow all the action below plus get the latest odds and tips right here:

Why the rest of Europe is celebrating the Premier League’s night of failure

So, Liverpool and West Ham going out means that England have almost no chance of getting that extra Champions League place.

And many in Europe will be celebrating the absence of English clubs from the Champions League semi-finals for only the second time since 2017. It is more about the perceived hubris of the Premier League, especially when they pay £2bn more in wages than any other league and earn billions more in broadcasting revenue.

The world’s greatest show isn’t showing its face in the Champions League semi-finals.

‘Something must be done about the Premier League’ is a common refrain in European club boardrooms - so Real Madrid and Bayern Munich duly obliged, knocking out Manchester City and Arsenal to leave no English clubs at the semi-final stage for only the second time since 2017

Jurgen Klopp is next to speak to TNT.

He praises the commitment and desire of his side, saying that it was a tricky game.

“A bit unlucky with Trent, if he was a bit fitter he could go a bit longer, but then we missed that. The longer the game went, we changed [things] but lost structure. We couldn’t create properly, but we won the game and that’s what we wanted to show.

“We can now focus on the league and that’s what we’ll do.

“We’ve created 67 shots in three games that we didn’t win one of. We played not bad in that period. We have two-and-a-half days to make sure we recover. This was the reaction we had to show.

“Let’s put a line under this competition, we would’ve wished we could go to Dublin. Now we have one competition left, and we throw everything into that.”

Virgil van Dijk is first to come in front of the cameras.

He credits Atalanta, saying that Liverpool showed “great fight”.

“The reality is that we’re out, and we have to very quickly turn this around. We need everyone for the last push.

“We had some opportunities. There was still time, [but] maybe at times we wanted it too quickly. Like I said, credit to Atalanta.”

When asked how difficult the game was, he says that Liverpool created chances, but maybe didn’t make the right decisions.

“We’re out of the competition, and that’s a bad feeling. Showing maturity, showing togetherness, and professionalism, is the key.

“Everyone feels disappointed, but we don’t have a lot of time to be disappointed. Anything is still possible.”
