Liverpool humbled as Atalanta claim 3-0 Europa League victory
Liverpool endured a disappointing night
Liverpool suffered a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Atalanta in the Europa League on Thursday, with the Italian side claiming a 3-1 aggregate victory to progress to the semi-finals.
Liverpool's struggles continue
The result extends Liverpool's poor run of form in the Europa League, having now lost three of their last four matches in the competition. The Reds have also failed to score in their last two Europa League games.
Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp made several changes to his team for the match, but his side struggled to create chances against a well-organized Atalanta defense. The Italian side took the lead in the 28th minute through Duvan Zapata, and doubled their advantage in the 57th minute through Josip Ilicic.
Liverpool pulled a goal back through Roberto Firmino in the 75th minute, but it was not enough to prevent Atalanta from claiming the victory. The Italian side will now face Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals.
Atalanta's impressive run continues
Atalanta's victory over Liverpool extends their impressive run in the Europa League. The Italian side have now won six of their last seven matches in the competition, and are yet to concede a goal in the knockout stages.
Atalanta will be confident of success in the semi-finals, where they will face Paris Saint-Germain. The French side are one of the favorites to win the competition, but Atalanta have shown that they are capable of beating anyone on their day.
