Jurgen Klopp hit out at the Premier League schedule once again but refused to blame the fixture list for Liverpool's shock 2-0 defeat to Atalanta on Wednesday.
The Reds blew the chance to qualify for the Champions League knockout stages with two games to spare as goals from Josip Ilicic and Robin Gosens gave the Italian side a 2-0 win at Anfield.
It was Liverpool's first home loss in a 90 minute match since September 2018, with the Premier League champions failing to register a shot on target against the Atalanta goal.
