UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season

However, if you look at the results in the first leg, where Liverpool lost 0-3, even though they were playing at home. I think Liverpool no longer has a big chance of qualifying for the semifinals or even more so the final. Their opportunities are not yet completely exhausted but it is clear that it will be a very tough struggle for Liverpool. Recently, Atalanta has not been playing well enough in Serie A but they still tend to be dangerous when playing at home.

Meanwhile, for Bayer Leverkusen, it looks like they will have it easy path to making it to the final because their performance is truly promising. Whoever the enemy is, it is likely that Leverkusen will always be ready to face their opponent.

It's not just that Liverpool has little chance of advancing to the semifinals, I even think that there is almost no possibility for Liverpool, losing by 3 goals at a time makes it almost impossible for the Liverpool team to turn things around in the second leg when they play against Atalanta.
What happened was a big surprise, no one expected that Liverpool would lose by a big score at home.

Leverkusen played in the first leg and they have gained very valuable capital to look at the second leg later, winning 2 goals in the first leg and in terms of quality it is also clear that Leverkusen is much better than West Ham so I think no one doubts Leverkusen to win easily. advanced to the semifinals.

This season in the European League we are considering Liverpool as the favorite team as much as Bayer Leverkusen. In our discussion it emerged that Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen will qualify for this Europa League final. The Europa League quarter-final matches won't be as exciting because of how predictable the results are when a weak side is pitted against a strong opponent. Even if people don't watch the quarter-final games that way, all the semi-final games will be interesting and people will try to follow more European leagues from the semi-finals. Expect Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen to qualify for the Europa League final this season and Liverpool to win the title by defeating Bayer Leverkusen in the final match.

Liverpool losing to Atlanta 0-3 on Anfield is one of the most surprising result of this year. Liverpool was supposed to dominate Europa league along with Leverkusen. But seems like Leverkusen would not likely meet Liverpool now. Having a 3 goal advantage and playing next leg on Italy, Atlanta would go on full defense and qualify for the semis.
On another surprise, AC Milan vs Roma played in Milan leading to 1 goal advantage to Roma may lead to Roma being qualified for the semis.

I agree with you. It was Liverpool's most surprising result this season. And none of us expected such strange results. Liverpool lost 3-0 at home. Liverpool's strong defense is completely broken in this match.



In this match if  we are comparing the performance of both teams it can be seen that Liverpool dominated the match. But the interesting thing is that even after dominating the match, Liverpool players could not score a single goal. Liverpool have 70% ball possession. Liverpool players made a total of 19 shots. Even then, Liverpool could not break the defense of Atalanta.

Had Salah been included in the starting XI, the outcome of the match might have been different. In the first half, Liverpool's attack did not play well. And this is why Atalanta's players become more confident. And that's why we saw a better performance from Atalanta's players in the second half.

You know that these Italian clubs are more into defensive play pattern, and that is what will happen when Liverpool will face them in Italy. It will be a difficult task for Liverpool and I don't see anything good coming out from that match for Liverpool.

The reason is that they could not tale advantage of the chance of playing at home yesterday, and utilize that opportunity, but rather Klopp gambled with it by using players on the bench to start the match. I have no pity for them, as they deserved what they got.

I don't think if Salah was chosen for a start squad, this match can be different too much. Salah was sent in since a start of second half but he failed to help Liverpool. Generally after return from his injury, Salah does not have too good performances for Liverpool. He did not have good sense of space and his sensitiveness in his shots was lower than before.

Salah looks to need more time to return his best performances but this season comes to the ending weeks and Liverpool no longer control their chances in Europa League and Premier League.

Mohammed Salah wouldn't be the only Liverpool player on the pitch if the club manager Jurgen Klopp had selected him to start the first leg of their UEFA Europa League quarter finals tie against Atalanta last night and that's why I wouldn't want to believe that the reason why Liverpool were disappointingly beaten at home last night was because of his absence in the starting XI. Liverpool as team were very poor last night and the words of the club manager Jurgen Klopp at the end of the game strongly backs my claim. I think the team had already underestimated the strength of their opponents before the game so weren't expecting the shock they got last night.
Now they have a mountain to climb when they travel to Italy for the second leg of the tie because the Atalanta we all saw last night would never want to lose after leading the first leg with a three goal deficit.

which surprised many fans because Liverpool is one of the favorite teams because their performance is quite stable. but in a match like that it can't be predicted. Maybe losing by 1 goal to Atalanta is still acceptable, but losing by 3 goals without reply even when they really dominated the match, is very disappointing.
even after Klopp's efforts to replace several players by including Salah, Jota and Diaz. it doesn't change the results. I don't know what's wrong with Liverpool, but being 3 goals behind will be quite difficult for them in the second leg. all they can do is maybe equalize the score in the second leg. but it sure was hard work.

Sorry, most of you forgot something. not always a strong, stable, well-established team always wins the match. the proof, Liverpool fell at Anfield to Atalanta. Isn't this proof that football is unique and the results are sometimes surprising and don't match expectations? In fact, we can look at the battle between Liverpool and Atalanta from various angles, but the result is still the same, even though Liverpool lost. on the contrary, I saw it since Liverpool competed fiercely in the Premier League. therefore, Liverpool can slip up at any time as their focus is split into two parts.

In this match, Kloop tried to play with the available players, resting several key players for the Premier League. but what can I do, Atalanta was able to surprise Liverpool. even, in front of the Red supporters themselves. In the second half, Kloop tried to bring on Moh Salah, Diaz, Jota, but was unable to change the situation. Liverpool have been losing since Atlanta broke through Liverpool's goal. now, is not the time to lament the loss to Atlanta. However, how will Jurgen Kloop's team return to its best performance and turn things around in the second leg? Even though it's not an easy job, Kloop still wants to be involved in this competition. what is certain is that he will maximize his team. However, the effects of fatigue can be influential when they enter the match in the Premier League after fighting in the second leg. We'll see how Kloop will take his team.

Apart from that, I still haven't heard some comments about AC Milan which quoted my previous post. However, we'll see and wait what happens in the second leg.

[Marykeller]

Big loss for Liverpool. This will have an effect on their league form as well as they will start to doubt themselves. If they lost at home to Atalanta, what is stopping Crystal Palace from visiting in the weekend and leaving with something as well? Klopp has a big job to get his team out of the ditch and focus them on the match ahead and also rebuild their confidence.

The revere fixture will be very exciting to watch.

- Jay -

The mistake Klopp made was to underestimate Atalanta, believing that his second team players could beat Atalanta since they have proven to be good in some of the matches he had them play in PL matches when Liverpool's top players were on injuries. However, the second team didn't deliver as expected of them, I wonder what strategy Klopp will decide to use when Liverpool faces Atalanta on Thursday after they played against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
It will be too bad if Liverpool wins Atalanta with more than 3 goals and also loses to lift the Premier League title which they are giving all their best to, to lift it

[Volgastallion]

Is incredible how competitive and hard is the football world today, for example we see right now Liverpool is having a sensationals eason until this week, when they lose some points for Premier LEague and after that they suffer this horrible lose for Europa LEague, in only one week seems like all the built in the season is gonna fall apart for only 2 matches, incredible.

[Gencecikmen]

It was close to 14 months since Liverpool were last defeat at Anfield. But Liverpool fell to a woeful 3-0 defeat in the first leg of its Europa League quarterfinal to Atalanta on Thursday evening at Anfield. Atalanta could have scored more at Anfield had it not been for Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher. Liverpool fans were left stunned after this result and very few would have seen this result coming.

Losing at Atalanta's home would have been quite understanding, but they lost three banger goals in front of the home fans? That should be one of the biggest loses they've had at home since last year. I can't really recall the game but they have been super rock solid at home, thanks to Scamacca who opened the way with both goals.
Jurgen Klopp feels like they would get a good chance also when they travel to Atalanta next week, that I'm sure will not be very possible, they should go focus on the Premier League Competition right now.

Kudus was very active for West Ham United yesterday night, I could say he was the best player on the pitch as he tried hard to break Leverkusens midfielder's.
As tough as they the hammers went yesterday, Xabi Alonso made two to three changes which came on to win the game for him

[piebeyb]

People doubted Leverkusen's ability after the previous match against Qarabag where Leverkusen seemed difficult to win against Qarabag in the previous match, whereas against West Ham, which was said to be a big threat to Leverkusen, they could easily win by two goals against West Ham, another match that surprised Liverpool who To be the favorite to win against Atalanta at Anfield, it turned out that they actually lost by three goals without replying in front of all their supporters. it was really a complicated match for Liverpool to win at their home ground.

Roma performed better than AC Milan according to what I said, De Rossi seems to have made As Roma really change for the better, the three matches yesterday were quite surprising to many people but this is football, nothing can be predicted, even the favorite team can lose badly. teams that are not superior and vice versa, so don't underestimate the strength of your opponents, especially in this important competition, they will definitely play more optimally than in the domestic league, the prediction that Leverkusen will meet Liverpool in the final seems to be changing Leverkusen and As Roma.

Yes indeed, I personally don't care whether Salah is played or not because after all, basically at this moment Liverpool have better quality compared to Atalanta. Also, this first leg match is also played at Anfield andalso, based on statistical records in this match also that Liverpool have better dominance than Atalanta. But still, Liverpool failed to get good results at home, instead of getting good results at home in fact Liverpool lost with a big score of 0-3. With a defeat with a big score like this, I personally think it will be a difficult task for Liverpool to be able to turn things around in the second leg later, clearly this is a bad result for Liverpool and I'm sure not I only who lost the bet because of Liverpool bad results in this match.

What Klopp did was quite wrong because they kept some of the main players on the bench, Atlanta did not have too good a performance in the league and they also did not win in the last 3 games in the league so maybe Klopp thinks Atlanta is not capable of winning at Anfield, I think Klopp at this time will definitely regret his decision for underestimating Atlanta, because after all Liverpool will have a difficult job to Looking for a 4-goal aggregate win at home to Atlanta without getting a fight from Atlanta, while Atlanta of course they only need to find a draw to make Liverpool out of the Europa League this season.

The 3-0 defeat to Atlanta certainly made Liverpool now questionable as favourites to win the Europa League ,and I think all of us here will of course see Leverkusen as a strong candidate to win this season if there are no surprises in the second leg, relying on substitutes in that game is not a good and right decision for Liverpool and I think Klopp is to blame for the defeat.

It is obvious that after 0-3 at home, the team has practically no chance of advancing to the next round on aggregate. At the moment, the teams' chances of reaching the semi-finals are assessed as follows:

Atalanta - 1.14
Liverpool - 5.80

1.14 doesn’t look very interesting, but essentially +14% is easy money. I don’t see the option that Liverpool will die in this game given the fact that they have chances in the main tournament - the Premier League. And Atalanta, having played the first game without substitutions (one in the 89th minute can’t be counted), will most likely rest (playing with the second team) in the game with Verona and will be in top shape again in the return match.

Well all they have built in the season isn't falling apart just yet but then they still have a chance to fix everything if they can quickly snap out of the mood that this losses has brought them and begin to get on with making good progress into improving for the games ahead so they will be able to still maintain good form and position enough for a chance to lifting one of the trophies before the end of the season.

Normally football isn't an easy game and has never promised to be because it's actually coming with a whole lot of strength and passion with emotions which also builds up for uncertainties due to the various technicalities involved, in as much as sometimes we may want to see that some of the teams are appearing superior to some, it still not a guarantee that they are going to easily win such a team without out putting in the required efforts, even when such efforts are been put in, you still find out that they sometimes don't get to achieve the kind of victory they aught to achieve because of the uncertainties that may arise in cause of the game.

The case of Liverpool and Atlanta as seen in yesterday's game, is a typical example that the superiority of a team over the other isn't enough to be sure they were going to beat the other team always, sometimes these factors may just be things that comes up while they are on the pitch or the other team just have hard luck and probably some technical hitches around them may all contribute to them loosing.

[Chilwell]

Hahaha Liverpool being defeated by Atalanta is kind of a joke to me, even though Liverpool is very much the favorite of the bettors in this match, but who would have thought that he would actually fail the bet because Liverpool lost this match even with a fairly big score. Even though Liverpool played well and controlled the ball more dominantly, they were unable to score a goal against Atalanta, while Atalanta, with all the strength they had, was able to beat Liverpool's strong team.

This is an embarrassing moment for Liverpool to be defeated in their home, at early stages i thought they will be a come back for Liverpool but unfortunately it didn't happened and Atalanta end the match with 3-0, Liverpool that people were having hope for to lift up the trophy are now facing defeat in their home for the first leg while the second leg will be away and my question is that can they bounce back to score three goals to nothing? From the beginning when i so there previous game before this match i thought it going to be in favour of Liverpool because Atalanta lost their last to game and both are away that is the reason i have much confidence in Liverpool since Atalanta performances are low in away game but the reverse is the case.

However, if you look at the results in the first leg, where Liverpool lost 0-3, even though they were playing at home. I think Liverpool no longer has a big chance of qualifying for the semifinals or even more so the final. Their opportunities are not yet completely exhausted but it is clear that it will be a very tough struggle for Liverpool. Recently, Atalanta has not been playing well enough in Serie A but they still tend to be dangerous when playing at home.

Meanwhile, for Bayer Leverkusen, it looks like they will have it easy path to making it to the final because their performance is truly promising. Whoever the enemy is, it is likely that Leverkusen will always be ready to face their opponent.

That's true, indeed with that defeat I think Liverpool may have given up hope, because their chances of qualifying for the semifinals are not great. Even though they may still be able to pursue the opportunities that still exist, it's true what you said, it will be difficult for them. because with the next match coming up, they will face teams whose performance is quite good. they have to be able to produce consecutive wins to be able to improve their points but that will be very difficult.

especially in the second leg when they face Atalanta again, I'm afraid their mentality will no longer be good, with that of course they will play with a lack of confidence. but even so, it is impossible for them to give up, of course they will do their best to improve things. As for Leverkusen, in my opinion it is clear that they can easily advance to the final because their always good matches make them a team that is unbeatable, and I think they are increasingly confident to face the next teams.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Salah looks to need more time to return his best performances but this season comes to the ending weeks and Liverpool no longer control their chances in Europa League and Premier League.

I don't think so. I would say Liverpool players would have been confident if Salah was in the squad. Even if Salah didn't play well, we could have seen more organized gameplay from Liverpool.

Salah is a very experienced player. So having such experienced players in the squad naturally gives the young players confidence. On the other hand, the opponent would have at least two defenders to block Salah. So Liverpool's attacking players would have scored opportunities. It would also have been a bit difficult for Atalanta's players to counter-attack.

However, I think the main reason for Liverpool's defeat in this match is their match strategy. Atalanta have relatively few attacks. But each of their attacks was very organized and planned. There is no doubt that Atalanta performed well in this match.

Leverkusen was able to prove it in this first leg by successfully beating West Ham with a score of 2-0. Their game was also very good, they controlled the game and they didn't give West Ham a chance in this match. This victory makes it easier for them in the second leg, because they only need a draw, or if they lose as long as it doesn't go by more than 1 goal then they will definitely be in the semifinals.

In fact, what was surprising was when we saw Livrpool who had to lose badly to their guests Atalanta. How could they have lost so badly like that, because at the start they were big favorites to win this match, but instead they had to swallow the bitter pill because they lost in front of their own supporters. In the second leg they will have a difficult job, because they have to catch an aggregate of 3 goals first before turning things around. 3 goals is a number that is not easy for them to achieve.

Even though Liverpool played well and controlled the ball more dominantly, they were unable to score a goal against Atalanta, while Atalanta, with all the strength they had, was able to beat Liverpool's strong team.

Atalanta have been a loose cannon for quite a few years now, alternating amazing results with very poor ones. Obviously no one would have ever expected such a sweeping result at Hanfield from Atalanta, Liverpool are one of the strongest European teams and no one would have ever bet on a defeat especially when they play in their own stadium. For my part Gasperini made a historic miracle with this victory, I only hope that in the return match the result will not be overturned
