Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp didn’t hold back in his criticism of his team’s display in the Europa League quarter-final first leg against Atalanta.
The Serie A side secured a convincing 3-0 victory at Anfield, with former West Ham striker Gianluca Scammaca netting twice.
Speaking to TNT Sports post-match, Klopp expressed his disappointment, stating, “Unfortunately, there is nothing really positive to say about the game. The start was promising with Darwin Nunez’s good moment, but from there, it became a really poor performance, and there’s nothing positive to highlight.”
Klopp highlighted issues with Liverpool’s tactical positioning in possession, lamenting, “I didn’t like our organization on the ball. We gifted them opportunities with misplaced passes, leading to disjointed chasing.”
Despite a disallowed goal for Liverpool, Klopp acknowledged Atalanta’s superiority, admitting, “It was a bad game from us. Atalanta played well, scored three goals, and deserved the win.”
