Favorites in the Europa League, the Reds are in great danger after their defeat at Anfield against Atalanta (0-3) in the quarter-final first leg. It will take a miracle in Bergamo in a week.

Stupor at Anfield. Designated favorite in the Europa League, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool took a slap at home against Atalanta Bergamo (0-3), Thursday evening, in the quarter-final first leg.

While the Reds are engaged in a terrible final sprint in the Premier League, Klopp had left a few executives on the bench, and Gianluca Scamacca penalized the Mersey club in the first period (38th). The entries of Salah, Robertson and Szoboszlai at the break, then of Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota in the second half, changed nothing. And Atalanta hit the nail on the head with Scamacca (60th) then Mario Pasalic (83rd).

Liverpool will need a miracle when they return to Italy in a week. As a reminder, the winner of this double confrontation will face Olympique de Marseille or Benfica Lisbon in the semi-final.
