Atalanta achieved a remarkable victory and left the Premier League side stunned in front of their own fans. Gianluca Scamacca scored a magnificent double, one in the 38th minute and the other in the 60th minute. Later on, in the 83rd minute, Mario Pasalic added a third goal for the clinical Italian team, which could prove to be a decisive factor in the return leg of the match.

"Nothing positive to say about the game." "They [Atalanta] 100 percent deserved it. It was a really bad game. I didn't like our tactical discipline. We were everywhere. No counter press. I know the boys can play better football, but not tonight."

Klopp said after the match

The last time Liverpool lost a match at Anfield was on February 21, 2023, when they suffered a 5-2 defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League. Jurgen Klopp's side will need to produce another comeback to keep their Europa League hopes alive next week in Italy.

Liverpool will host Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Super Sunday at the Anfield Stadium, with kick-off at 14:00. Before traveling to Italy for the second leg of the quarterfinal next Thursday, kick-off is at 8 p.m.
