Liverpool's Europa League Campaign Ends Despite Win at Atalanta
Reds Show Promise in Second Leg but Fall Short on Aggregate
Liverpool 1-0 Atalanta (Aggregate: 3-1)
Liverpool's Europa League campaign came to an end on Thursday night as they lost 3-1 on aggregate to Atalanta, despite a 1-0 win in the second leg in Italy. Mohamed Salah scored the only goal of the game for the Reds, but it wasn't enough to overturn the deficit from the first leg.
Liverpool had shown a lot more promise in the second leg, but they couldn't quite do enough to turn the result around. The Reds created a number of chances, but they were unable to find the back of the net until Salah's goal in the 67th minute.
Atalanta had won 3-0 at Anfield a week ago, thanks to a double from former West Ham striker Gianluca Scamacca and a goal from former Chelsea player Mario Pasalic. Liverpool needed to win by at least three goals in order to advance, but they were unable to do so.
Jurgen Klopp's side will now turn their attention to the Premier League, where they are currently third in the table. They will be looking to finish the season strongly and secure a top-four finish.
