By Sean Walsh The European leg of Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool farewell tour is under serious threat. Few expected Atalanta to leave Anfield with a result in the first leg of their quarter-final on Thursday. Even fewer would have predicted them to run out 3-0 winners. This was hardly the tonic Liverpool needed to recover from their brutal 2-2 draw away at rivals Manchester United last Sunday, and now their hopes of Klopp ending his reign with one last European trophy are close to going up in smoke. So what exactly went wrong for Liverpool on Thursday? Lazy, lazy defendingBoth Klopp and Virgil van ...

By Sean Walsh Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk insisted there is 'no point' in his side showing up for the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final with Atalanta if they don't think they can overturn a 3-0 deficit. The Reds were stunned by the Serie A side on Thursday night, who will take a three-goal cushion back to Italy for the return fixture next week. Gianluca Scamacca scored either side of half-time before Mario Pasalic rounded off proceedings late in the day. Van Dijk fronted up to the cameras post-match and hit out at his teammates for a string of individual errors, but urged t...

By Sean Walsh Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes his side's inability to deal with aggressive man-to-man marking over the pitch was a key reason behind their 3-0 loss at home to Atalanta. The Reds' hopes of sending Klopp off in a blaze of European glory were dealt a significant blow with a huge defeat in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final. Former West Ham United striker Gianluca Scamacca gave Atalanta the lead just before half-time and then doubled their advantage on the other side of the break. Mario Pasalic, once on the books at Chelsea, rounded off the scoring in the fi...

By David Lynch Liverpool's Europa League hopes have been left hanging by a thread after a shock 3-0 defeat to Atalanta in the first leg of the sides' quarter-final tie. A brace from former West Ham striker Gianluca Scamacca and a further strike from Mario Pasalic condemned the Reds to their first loss at Anfield since February 2023, when they were beaten by Real Madrid. And, barring a miraculous comeback in Bergamo, dreams of Jurgen Klopp capping his final season in charge with a European trophy look to be dead. How the game unfoldedThe raft of changes made by manager Klopp suggested he felt L...

By Sean Walsh For a short but sweet while, Atalanta were the heartthrobs of European football. Their first Champions League adventure in 2019/20 saw them play their home games down the road in Milan at San Siro - and they were the only team occupying that famous old stadium to reach the knockout stages that year. Atalanta were minutes away from qualifying for the semi-finals that season before conceding twice late on to PSG, ending one of the European Cup's great fairytales of recent years. The grandmaster behind that side, Gian Piero Gasperino, is still in the Atalanta dugout and will be look...

By Ewan Murray Liverpool may have stumbled in their bid to be crowned Premier League champions on Sunday, but Jurgen Klopp's side must now turn their attention back to European football. The Reds have been drawn against Italian side Atalanta in the quarter-final of this year's Europa League, with the first leg of the tie coming at Anfield this Thursday. Liverpool have breezed through the competition to date, including racking up 11 goals over two legs against Sparta Prague in the last 16. A semi-final clash with either Benfica or Marseille is up for grabs, but Atalanta will be no pushovers. Gi...

By Toby Cudworth Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has not ruled out returns for Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Jota against Atalanta in the Europa League. Alexander-Arnold has not played for the Reds since February, when he was withdrawn after 45 minutes of the 3-1 win over Burnley in February, while Jota hasn't seen action after picking up a knee injury the following week at Brentford. Jurgen Klopp has also been without first choice goalkeeper Alisson for two months, weakening Liverpool's arsenal in what has been a crucial period of fixtures. They remain in the hunt for a second Premier Leagu...

By Ewan Murray Liverpool's Europa League campaign has rarely got out of second gear but things are starting to get serious for the Reds in this year's competition. Now at the quarter-final stage, Liverpool's rampant victory over Sparta Prague in the last 16 has set up a tantalising tie with Italian side Atalanta. The clubs have clashed on only two occasions previously, both sides coming away with a victory on the road during the 2020/21 Champions League group stage. The Reds are searching for a first Europa League title under Jurgen Klopp during his final campaign with the club, with injuries ...

By Toby Cudworth Liverpool supporters' groups have announced a withdrawal of flags at the Kop end for Thursday's Europa League clash with Atalanta. The action has been taken in protest at Liverpool raising season ticket prices by two per cent last week, meaning there will be a very different look and feel to proceedings as Jurgen Klopp's side aim to put themselves in a strong position for the two-legged quarter-final tie. A statement from supporters' group Spion Kop 1906 read: "We are disappointed in the club's decision towards ticket prices for 24/25. "In response, there will be no flags on t...
