Liverpool Crumble at Home: Europa Dreams Fading?
Liverpool’s hopes of salvaging their season with a Europa League triumph lie in tatters after a shambolic 3-0 home defeat to Atalanta in the first leg of their quarter-final tie. The Serie A side drew first blood through former West Ham striker Gianluca Scamacca, who capitalized on a Caoimhin Kelleher error to break the deadlock in the 38th minute at Anfield.
Despite some bright moments from Harvey Elliott and Darwin Nunez, who struck the woodwork, Liverpool looked increasingly bereft of ideas and urgency as the match wore on.
