Liverpool, for the epic in Bergamo
The Europa League will define its semifinalists today. One of them might be Atalanta or Liverpool in case they come back from 3-0 down at Anfield. Klopp’s team eight days ago suffered one of their worst defeats at home and were practically eliminated from European competition, however, tonight might mark another path.
Those led by Gian Piero Gasperini are not confident with what they achieved in the first leg and that is why for today they will put the best they have on the team on the field. Once once more names like Juan Musso, Mario Pasalic, Teun Koopmeiners, and Gianluca Scamacca appear on the roster.
Those from Anfield have just lost to Crystal Palace in the Premier League duel the previous weekend, with which they finished third in the tournament, two points behind the new leader called Manchester City. For its part, Atalanta tied once morest Monza 2-2 in Serie A and is sixth in the tournament with 51 points in Conference League positions.
“It is truly extraordinary and we know what Atalanta is regarding. Gasperini is doing an incredible job there for years and years and it is difficult to play once morest Italian teams. It always was: tactically they are super disciplined and super dangerous in many areas, so we have to give our best to advance to the next round,” Klopp said regarding this duel in Italy.
