Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp accepted their lack of goal threat failed to put enough pressure on Atalanta to help turn their Europa League quarter-final back in their favour. (More Football News)
Mohamed Salah바카라s seventh-minute penalty had raised hopes of a Barcelona 2019-style comeback but the Egypt international missed a relatively straightforward lob to make it 2-0 towards the end of the first half and they faded badly after the break as they exited the competition 3-1 on aggregate.
That meant for only the third time in the 21st century, England have no teams in the semi-finals of the Champions League or Europa League/UEFA Cup.
바카라We didn바카라t lose the tie tonight, we lost it at home,바카라 Klopp said after a 3-0 first-leg defeat proved decisive.
바카라It바카라s very easy to congratulate Atalanta because they deserved to go through. When you win a tie against us 3-1 in especially this way you deserve it absolutely.
바카라But I loved our game, especially the start. I loved the commitment, desire and power we developed in this game but it was clear we had better score from time to time otherwise it could be tricky over 90 minutes.
바카라The second goal could have helped a little bit. We have to create a little bit more than we did in the first half as it바카라s clear you need a result to help destabilise the opponent.
바카라If you have a second goal it바카라s a tricky one as the next goal is extra time but we didn바카라t get to that point and we will never really know how that would have looked.
바카라Disappointed we didn바카라t go through but not frustrated or angry. If you don바카라t deserve it, it바카라s all good.바카라
Salah has looked well short of his clinical best since returning from almost two months out with a hamstring problem.
Even though he has scored six in 11 game since he came back two of those have been penalties and he is squandering more chances he would normally be expected to take.
바카라I바카라m not particularly concerned. That바카라s what strikers do. That바카라s how it it is. We have to go through it, he has to go through it,바카라 added Klopp.
바카라He is one of most experienced players in the squad. That바카라s pretty much all.
바카라It바카라s not that Mo didn바카라t miss chances before in his life, that바카라s part of the game. The penalty was super convincing, a super penalty then the next chance that was unlucky, but it바카라s not the first time has has missed chances like that.
바카라I won바카라t make a big story of it. I바카라m not particularly concerned.바카라
