Klopp and Liverpool suffered a heavy defeat against Bergamo
What: REUTERS
Jürgen Klopp’s farewell tour has put a damper on the mood. In the quarter-finals of the Europa League, Liverpool FC literally went under in their own stadium. The German coach can hardly believe what he saw.
This bankruptcy particularly hurt Liverpool FC on Jürgen Klopp’s farewell tour. “It obviously feels very, very below average at the moment,” said the devastated German star coach of the Reds on RTL. “You can’t sugarcoat it.” His clearly favored team lost 3-0 in the Europa League quarter-final first leg against Atalanta Bergamo on Thursday evening.
“It was a really bad game for us. We were everywhere and nowhere,” Klopp said on TNT Sports. They had played into Bergamo’s hands and he seemed stunned by the “many mistakes” he had to watch from the sidelines. He says: “A lot of performances tonight were really like ‘oops, wow, I didn’t know they could play like that’. Many players were really alone in many moments.”

Due to the defeat against the club from the Italian Serie A, the former Champions League winner is now threatened with elimination in the round of the top eight. But Van Dijk doesn’t want to admit defeat: “If you don’t believe in it, you don’t have to travel to Italy. However, we made it very difficult for ourselves by losing 3-0.”
Slipped to second place in the Premier League
Gianluca Scamacca gave the guests a 2-0 lead with a brace in the 38th and 61st minutes. In the final phase, instead of Liverpool scoring the next goal, Atalanta’s third goal came from Mario Pasalic (83′).

“Whether we can win 3-0 – I have no idea,” said Klopp, looking ahead to the second leg on Thursday next week. “There’s nothing more to say than it was a poor performance from us, that’s why we lost.”

They should show a reaction on Sunday in the English championship at home against Crystal Palace. “And I’m sure we can do it.” They should, too, because in the Premier League last weekend Liverpool slipped to second place, level on points behind Arsenal FC, after a 2-2 draw at Manchester United.
