Bergamo –
Juergen Klopp can smile widely after Liverpool’s landslide victory at Atalanta. Klopp was finally able to conquer Italian soil as well. Excellent!
Before visiting Gewiss Stadium on Wednesday morning (4/11/2020) WIB, Liverpool were overshadowed by the manager’s poor record. Although in terms of squad quality, the Reds are still ahead of Atalanta.
How could he not, because Klopp has never won in his five trips to the home of Italian teams, all of which have resulted in defeat! Klopp visited Italy twice with Borussia Dortmund.
They first lost 1-2 to Napoli in the group stage of the 2013/2014 Champions League, then fell 1-2 at home to Juventus the following season in the round of 16.
The record did not improve and worsened with Liverpool when they lost three games to Pizza Country. The first was in the second leg of the 2017/2018 semifinals when they were defeated 2-4 by AS Roma.
Then Juergen Klopp defeated twice in a row at the Napoli headquarters, scoring 0-1 in the 2018/19 group stage and 0-2 in the same round last season. Well, the guys from Merseyside managed to break this bad record.
Without palliative, Atalanta, who was the quarter-final of last season, was brushed with a score of 0-5! Diogo Jota in that match became a star with three goals. While the two remaining goals were made by Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.
This is the England team’s biggest home win against an Italian team in a European competition. These results also confirm Liverpool’s good start to the Champions League this season by eliminating the first three games. They previously beat Ajax Amsterdam 1-0 and Midtjylland 2-0.
Liverpool won their first three group stage matches in their history for the first time in the competition.
