One of the biggest teams in Europe – Liverpool received a shocking slap in the face at their Anfield temple. The Reds were beaten 0:3 by Atalanta in the first quarter-final of the Europa League tournament!
It was Liverpool’s first loss at Anfield in 33 games in all competitions. In front of the disbelieving eyes of Jurgen Klopp, who is helpless in this case.
Caught up in the tough battle for the title in England, the home team seemed to grossly underestimate this game and could never get into it. It was just any other team, but not Liverpool.
Gianluca Scamakka opened the scoring in the 38th minute and then scored once more after an hour of play. Mario Pasalic scored the third goal in the 83rd minute.
The Italians played a famous match, certainly unexpected even by themselves.
Jurgen Klopp bet on a line-up in which some of his main players were absent. And this seemed to be another signal.
The Merseysiders once again demonstrated one of their weaknesses – not taking advantage of good opportunities, with attacks ending in a mistake at the last pass and no accurate shots.
The “Reds” were also tragic in defense tonight.
With this result, even a giant like Liverpool, used to all kinds of twists and turns, will find it very difficult in the second leg in Bergamo in a week.
Commentators in England have also argued that Liverpool have been quite tired after the pile of games in the season so far.
RESULTS
Milan – Roma 0:1, Leverkusen – West Ham 2:0
