WHAT A CHANCE! Atalanta 0-1 Liverpool (agg 3-1)
Atalanta 0-1 Liverpool (agg 3-1)
Liverpool are bang up for this but they can’t allow Atalanta to keep on settling, which they are slowly doing. When the chances come, as they seem to be doing in abundance for the Reds, they need to be a bit more clinical.

The London stadium erupted after that goal, Leverkusen look as if they are still feeling the effects from their celebrations at the weekend. Xabi Alonso is trying to rally his players on the touchline. Meanwhile, Bowen is having a word with the referee after being clipped a couple of times by the opposition

BIG SAVE! Atalanta 0-1 Liverpool (agg 3-1)
Atalanta 0-1 Liverpool (agg 3-1)
That’s exactly what Liverpool needed. You felt like a fast start was necessary if they were going to overturn the deficit and they’ve done just that. Now it’s about building on that – they certainly look up for it and Atalanta’s passing has been wayward and nervy.

Meanwhile in Lille…
‘Fans need to get behind Irons’
The home crowd are going to have a big role to play. They need to get behind their team from the start and try and create a big atmosphere for their players to thrive off.
Warm-ups underway in Bergamo
Gary McAllister: ‘You can never say never with Liverpool’
They were poor against Atalanta. I thought they played quite well against Palace. They just weren’t clinical in front of goal.
Their record of coming back after conceding an early goal is remarkable but it’s not a position you want to be in. You can’t just keep relying on coming back from conceding a goal. It’s an elite club that has got an amazing record across the two European trophies.
You can never say never with Liverpool. Under Klopp as well, they’re not going to give it up. They need to defend better. As much as they need goals, they need a clean sheet.
Atmosphere building in London
Scene is set!
Peter Crouch: ‘It’s a huge ask for Liverpool to go through’
It’s difficult to put your finger on it [Liverpool’s issues]. The Palace one we didn’t see coming. Atalanta were the better side. There’s one thing losing that one but you expected a reaction at Anfield against Crystal Palace but it wasn’t there. They did have chances, gilt-edged chances, on another day they’d score three or four. But Palace did a job on them and it was unexpected.
The most important thing is bouncing back from the last two results. You need a performance tonight and to win the game. It’s a huge ask for them to go through. But when you watch those clips of comebacks over the years [maybe they can]. I came here thinking no chance, and then you watch these comebacks and start thinking about the history of the club and in Europe, maybe they can.

Jurgen Klopp: ‘It’s a big shout to give Cody Gakpo the nod’
Jurgen Klopp has gone very strong so it’s clearly a case of win or bust for Liverpool. It’s a big shout to give Cody Gakpo the nod over misfiring Darwin Nunez up top.
It’s also a big night for Trent Alexander-Arnold in his first start for two months. The midfield is very attacking, so it’s evident the Reds are not willing to go down without a fight.

Gian Piero Gasperini: ‘It is one of the most important games in our history’
I expect the best Liverpool possible, with a team that will come here to play all its chances. We will have to play a great game to get a result.
We know that it will be one of the most important games in our history, if not the most important. But these are things that are said on the eve of the game, then comes the moment when we will have to know how to isolate ourselves.
Is Bowen fit?
Jurgen Klopp: ‘It’s over when it’s over’
I’m long enough in this business to know that it’s two legs. It’s over when it’s over. We are allowed to play tomorrow which means it has our 1,000% focus. We are only here for one reason.
I remember that I said, ‘if we fail, let’s do it in the most beautiful way’ – and that’s exactly how I see it again. We want to win the game but if we want to win then we’d better play good. If you play good then we have a chance to win it. We will see.
