Atalanta vs Liverpool LIVE: Europa League latest score and updates with Reds chasing more goals
Liverpool are in need of a second-leg comeback in Italy if they are to keep their faint treple hopes alive
Liverpool require one more European comeback under Jurgen Klopp as the Reds travel to Atalanta looking to keep their Europa League hopes alive.
Klopp’s side were favourites to reach the Dublin final on May 22 and provide a fitting farewell for the German manager, but Atalanta ripped up the script as they stunned Anfield with a 3-0 victory in last week’s quarter-final first leg.
Liverpool have overturned a 3-0 defeat under Klopp before, famously against Barcelona and Lionel Messi in the Champions League in 2019, but that was at Anfield. But Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace means the Reds are without a win in three games. Follow all the action below plus get the latest odds and tips right here:

62 mins: A lot like last week’s game in terms of Atalanta’s shape, and the fact they’re getting almost all their men behind the ball in defence.
When they do break they look fairly dangerous though, and Ederson wins a throw.
