In a stunning Europa League quarter-final match at Anfield, Atalanta secured a historic 3-0 victory over Liverpool, marking the home team's first defeat at their ground in 14 months. Gianluca Scamacca, the former West Ham striker, was the star of the show, scoring two goals at 38' and 60' before Mario Pasalic added a third at 83' to seal the win. This result leaves Liverpool in a precarious position, needing to mount one of their greatest comebacks in the second leg in Italy to advance. The defeat was a significant blow to Jurgen Klopp's side, which had not lost at home this season until this match.
