The Reds travel to the Gewiss Stadium on Thursday night for the second leg, looking to overcome a 3-0 deficit in a European competition for the first time since the famous Champions League semi-final against Barcelona in 2019.
Liverpool have only ever played one match away at Atalanta in their history, and the same result this time around would see the Reds progress to the semi-final of the Europa League.
The last time Liverpool travelled to the Gewiss Stadium was in November 2020 during the Champions League group stage.

The game was played with no fans in the stadium due to the COVID-19 restrictions on fans attending football matches across Europe.
Diogo Jota scored his first hat-trick for Liverpool in the game, with Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane also on the score sheet in Italy.
