Liverpool historians will be fretful, however, that tonight’s venue will be an addition to a future question on the TV show ‘Only Connect’ - the final European destinations for legendary Kop bosses.

In 1973, the Serbian venue was where Bill Shankly ended his European exertions as a Liverpool manager.  Unfancied Widzew Lodz stopped Bob Paisley signing off with another European Cup in 1983, defeating Liverpool in the European Cup quarter-final.

Now Jurgen Klopp is hoping he has at least two more cities to visit before he passes the torch to his yet-to-be named successor.

 Having led Liverpool to the great football cathedrals of Madrid, Milan, Paris and Barcelona over the past nine years, this would feel like a low-key end to Klopp’s celebrated adventures on the continent.

Atalanta 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 manager Jurgen Klopp is hoping to evoke the spirit of their Champions League semi-final comeback against Barcelona in 2019.
