Liverpool stunned at Anfield in 3-0 lossHoping to replicate Barcelona comebackMurphy backing former club to winWHAT HAPPENED?

Liverpool had no answer to Serie A side Atalanta in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final clash. A brace from former West Ham man Gianluca Scamacca and a third from Mario Pasalic leaves Jurgen Klopp's side with it all to do when they travel to Italy on Thursday. But Murphy believes the tie is not out of reach.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Murphy said: "I think we will see chaos. I think we will see Liverpool go 100 miles an hour from minute one and take a huge risk to try and score the first goal. It wouldn't surprise me if Liverpool go through. If Liverpool get the first goal a few of the Atalanta players will get nervous. They have to take that risk."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Reds famously came from 3-0 down to beat Barcelona 4-0 at Anfield during their run to Champions League glory in 2019. It will require a similar effort to conquer Atalanta who have already done the hard work at one of the world's most intimidating grounds.

Having already secured silverware in the form of the Carabao Cup, Liverpool still have hope of winning two more trophies this season. They slipped up in the race for the Premier League crown against Crystal Palace last week but they are still within touching distance. A magical night against Atalanta could spark a flourish for the Reds in the final weeks of the campaign.
