You could forgive Liverpool’s lineup for experiencing deja vu after Jurgen Klopp encouraged his Liverpool side to give their all in Bergamo and to ‘fail beautifully’ if they must fail at all.
It was a similar rallying call issued to the squad ahead of a fateful return leg in the Champions League against Barcelona back in 2019.
Winning will, arguably, be an even harder outcome to achieve coming up against Atalanta’s likely raucous home ground.
Yet, try Klopp’s men must to keep alive any hopes of a treble-winning campaign.
