The qualification from Champions League Group D is now wide open after Liverpool suffered a 2-0 defeat against Atalanta at Anfield on Wednesday night.
Josip Ilicic and Robin Gosens scored within four minutes in the second half against a much-changed Liverpool side that lacked the fluidity and cutting edge that we normally associate with the reigning Premier League champions.
Jurgen Klopp’s side failed to register a single shot on target, with the Reds boss admitting that it was a ‘deserved defeat’. With nine points from four games, Liverpool still remain top of the group and need one win from their final two games – at home to Ajax and away to Midtjylland – to qualify.
