Jurgen Klopp has revived the message he gave his Liverpool players ahead of their memorable comeback victory against Barcelona as they aim for another European miracle.
The Reds are in Bergamo seeking to overturn a 3-0 first-leg defeat in their Europa League quarter-final against Atalanta following a chastening Anfield evening last Thursday.
Only once before have Liverpool fought back from such a deficit when they shocked Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final on the way to winning the competition five years ago.

And while dismissing suggestions of already having a speech prepared to rouse his players before they step out at the Gewiss Stadium, Klopp will lean partly on events of 2019 as inspiration.
"I wrote it already!" he joked when asked about a teamtalk.
After the game (last week), everyone in the stadium thought, ‘that’s it’.
"But since then, a week later, I don’t think everybody thinks it’s already decided.
If we win, the players will find a reason to tell the world what I said, and if we lose no-one will want to hear."
Since the 4-0 victory over Barcelona, several players have given their take on what was said by Klopp towards his players ahead of a remarkable turnaround.
But the Reds boss instead put the focus purely on an improved performance from Liverpool after last week's first leg.
"What is similar (to Barcelona)?
Let's start with a much better performance and and try to win the game and we will see how much time is left at the end.
"I am long enough in this business to know it is two legs, it is over when it is over.
We are only here for playing football – but I cannot win this game in this press conference today."
