Liverpool might have won 1-0 away at Atalanta on Thursday night, but it wasn’t enough to keep their dreams of a Dublin send-off for Jurgen Klopp alive.

In truth, the damage had already been done last weekend at Anfield.

Again not at their best in Bergamo, Klopp now has it all to do to keep the below-par Reds in Premier League title contention with six games of their season, and the German’s reign, remaining.

As the inquest into Liverpool’s loss of form continues, Atalanta have made history by reaching their first European semi-final since 1988.

The 0-3 at Anfield is too much even for a team used to comebacks like Liverpool, who this time are unable to overturn the score against the tenacity of a working Goddess and who never stops fighting.

‘The English change of pace does not arrive.

The most beautiful night in your history, the most precious night, the night of the Goddess of racing, capable of an exceptional feat: qualifying for the semi-final.

‘Never has a narrow home defeat been sweeter for the Nerazzurri, semi-finalists of the Europa League and capable of eliminating the big favourites for the final victory.’

‘Atalanta gets luxury scalp after closing like a hedgehog’

‘The feat had already been achieved a week ago, now in Bergamo it was enough to put the bow on a double match that will remain in the history of Italian football.

‘Liverpool completes a horror week with two defeats and one elimination, Atalanta gets a luxury scalp and now dreams.

The English don't have any left, Atalanta and an entire city can celebrate: for the first time, the Goddess is in the semi-finals of the Europa League.’

‘The wolf Klopp will not have proven to be so bad’

Corriere Della Sera

‘The Goddess of Endurance has nerves of steel and goes where she has never gone before.

With the lungs of De Roon, the growth of Scamacca, the energy of Ederson and the intelligence of Koopmeiners, Gasperini's team cushioned the potentially deadly impact of Salah's initial penalty and forced Jurgen Klopp to bid farewell to the European Championship after nine years at Liverpool in any cold quarter-final, at least for a team that can still challenge for victory in the Premier League.

‘The wolf Klopp will not have proven to be so bad, as Gasp had joked on the eve, but here he needed to find his true Liverpool without a win in three games, regardless of whether or not the qualification was already compromised with the thunderous 3-0 suffered in Anfield seven days earlier.
