Liverpool’s 3-0 defeat at home to Atalanta was the most surprising result of the first round of the quarter-finals of the Europa League. For coach Jurgen Klopp, there is no way to mask the team’s poor performance in the duel against the Italians.
“It was a low point in terms of performance. The good side of a very bad performance is that it is easy to play better. So we have to start there”, said the German commander this Thursday.
Shortly after the game, Klopp spoke to the squad about what happened in the duel against Atalanta. He hopes that the setback will be a harsh lesson for the final stretch of the season and the fight for the English title – the team is in second place in the standings, with the same score as leaders Arsenal – both with 71 points, while Manchester City has 70 .
“We have to show a reaction, I can promise. But I can’t plan the reaction 20 minutes after the game. I’ll think about it. It’s not the first time in my life that I’ve lost a football game, unfortunately,” said Klopp.
