He Liverpool is forced to come back from 0-3 this Thursday against the Atalanta in Bergamo to reach the semi-finals of the Europa League. Throughout its history, the ‘red’ team has staged epic comebacks. But Jurgen Klopphis coach, does not believe that what is needed today can be compared to 5 years ago against Barcelona.
In the 2018-19 Champions League, Barcelona beat Liverpool 3-0 in the first leg at Camp Nou and lost 4-0 at Anfield. The Reds won their sixth Champions League, in this case by winning the final 0-2 at the Metropolitano.
Klopp stated time before the meeting before the group of Gian Piero Gasperini: “It’s the same result to overcome. But not the performance. We lost 3-0 at Barcelona and a lot of people didn’t understand how. Against Atalanta we lost because of that result at home and our rival deserved it -must win. The difference is huge “We will try to play better than the first leg, win. And we’ll see.”
Klopp He recalled that in 2020-21 they won 0-5 against Atalanta at the Gewiss Stadium in the Champions League, they lost 0-2 at Anfield. He sees a different scenario now. “But a lot of people thought the tie was over after the first leg and now it’s not,” he added.
confessed Klopp that then, in 2019, he told his players before the game against Barcelona “That, if we fail, we must do it in the most spectacular way possible and this time I will tell you too.” Coincidence: this Thursday is the birthday of Divock Origithe author of the fourth goal against Barcelona. Currently on Nottingham Forestthe Belgian forward will be 29 years old.
