Liverpool crashed out of the Europa League at the quarter-final stage despite winning 1-0 against Atalanta on Thursday, as they slumped to a 3-1 aggregate defeat.
Trailing 3-0 from the opening leg, Liverpool set about making amends straight away and went in front on the night through a Mohamed Salah penalty after just seven minutes.
The hosts may have expected an onslaught after that, but it never arrived as Liverpool ran out of ideas the longer the game progressed.
The result sees Atalanta move into the last four, while Liverpool now only have the league to focus on in their bid to give Jurgen Klopp the perfect farewell.
