Will Atalanta be a litmus test for the Reds?
Even before the start of the UEFA Europa League, fans and experts agreed: the only way to win the title this time is through Liverpool FC. And the Reds have so far fully lived up to their role as favorites. The outgoing coach’s team marched confidently Jürgen Klopp through the group phase, including two wins (3:1 in Linz, 4:0 at Anfield Road) against LASK. And in the round of 16, Sparta Prague became the top scorer Mo Salah & Co. were literally overrun with the overall score of 11:2.
Can Atalanta Bergamo now become the first real test for the six-time Champions League and Master Cup winners Liverpool? The Trainer-Fuchs team Gian Piero Gasperini is still undefeated on the European stage this season. SK Sturm at least held the club from Lombardy to a draw in the group stage with a 1-1 draw in Graz. And in Bergamo the Blackies also narrowly had to admit defeat with 0-1. In the round of 16, the Italians eliminated Sporting Lisbon, another close affair with an overall score of 3-2.
The star of the Italian team is an attacker Teun Koopmeiners. The 26-year-old, who has been with Atalanta for three years, has already scored ten times this season – but only in Serie A. In the Europa League, however, the Dutchman is still waiting for a goal. This makes the duel between Liverpool and Atalanta also interesting from an Austrian perspective: the ÖFB team will also face Koopmeiners at the UEFA EURO 2024 in Germany in June.
