That's it!

Atalanta are through and well deserved.

Liverpool got the early goal, but Salah's glaring miss in late in the first half seemed to take the wind out of their sales.

While they win 1-0 on the night, they bow out of Europe 3-1 on aggregate. 

18 April 22:49

87' - Both sides going through the motions now.

Atalanta will surely be going through to the semi-finals of the Europa Cup.

18 April 22:46

84' - This one looks done. It will take a miracle for Liverpool to find the two goals they need.

They look resigned to the fact that it simply won't happen. 

18 April 22:37

72' - Joe Gomez replaces Trent Alexander Arnold.

To be honest, it's all gone a bit flat from Liverpool in the last 10 mins. 

18 April 22:31

70' - Just 20 minutes left for Liverpool to find two goals to push this into extra time.

18 April 22:28

66' - Here come the Liverpool changes.

Salah, Diaz and Sboszlai are off.

Nunez, Jota and Elliot are on. 

18 April 22:22

60 ' - Brilliant work down the right sees Atlanta work some space, finding Koopmeiners in the box but Allisson saves his shot. 

18 April 22:20

58' - Free kick for Liverpool sees Van Dyk head straight at the Atalanta keeper.

18 April 22:17

56' - Chance for Liverpool as Salah fires straight at the Atalanta keeper.

He was offside so even if it went in, it would not have counted. 

18 April 22:11

49' - First chance of the second half falls to Atalanta but the shot is fired straight at Alisson in the Liverpool goal. 

18 April 22:07

46' - The second half is underway. Can Liverpool find more goals?

18 April 21:49

HALF TIME!

Liverpool have a goal back, but needs two more. They have been the dominant side, as you'd expect. While Salah scored a the penalty to give them the lead, he missed a glorious chance for a second.

Atalanta (3) 0-1 (1) Liverpool

18 April 21:47

45' - There will be two minutes of added time in the first half. 

18 April 21:44

43' - Free kick to Liverpool in a dangerous position. Nothing comes from it.

Atalanta (3) 0-1 (1)

18 April 21:42

41' - Atalanta have the ball in the back of the net, but Koopmeniers is offside!

18 April 21:41

40 ' - Drama down the other end as Alexander-Arnold loses the ball, but Alisson saves his blushes. 

18 April 21:40

39' - What a miss from Salah!

He is in through on goal and tries to lift the ball over the advancing keeper but puts it wide.

 

18 April 21:37

36' - Liverpool still pushing, but Atalanta are holding firm. 

18 April 21:32

31' - An excellent counter attack by Liverpool comes to nothing as they try one pass to many.

It's something they certainly can be accused of this season.

18 April 21:29

28' - Kiranchuk fires wide for Atalanta!

Poor from Konate who shadowed him, but allowed the forward to fire a shot towards the Liverpool goal. 

18 April 21:20

19' - First chance of the night for Atalanta but Alisson is out quickly to collect the ball. 

18 April 21:18

17' - Liverpool have had plenty of possession, but they have to be wary of Atalanta hitting them on the break, something that many teams have had success with against Jurgen Klopp's side. 

18 April 21:14

12 ' - Another chance for Liverpool as a delightful touch from Gakpo almost puts Diaz in, but the Atalanta does well to come out and block the Colombian's attempted toe-in.

Szoboszlai then shoots from range and the keeper does well to collect. 

18 April 21:11

9 ' - Salah plays a through ball for Szoboszlai but its JUST overhit and the Atalanta keeper collects. 

A strong start from Liverpool, but it's just what they needed.

Atalanta (3) 0-1 (1) Liverpool

18 April 21:09

7'  - GOAL to Liverpool!

Salah makes no mistake from the spot and that's the start the visitors would have dreamed of.

Liverpool fans in full voice now!

18 April 21:07

The decision won't be overturned. Mo Salah steps up for Liverpool.

18 April 21:07

VAR is taking a look. 

18 April 21:06

5' - PENALTY awarded to Liverpool.

Handball in the box. Fair decision. 

18 April 21:04

3' - Early stoppage as Virgil van Dyk needs some attention. 

Doesn't look anything serious, however. 

18 April 21:02

1' - We are under way and Liverpool have to make the play if they hope to turn this one around. 

18 April 20:50

We are just 10 mins away from kick-off in Italy. 

18 April 20:47

We will have some team news in a couple of minutes. 

18 April 20:46

The Reds have it all to do if they hope to turn around a 3-0 scoreline from the first leg.

They've done it before in Europe... just ask Barcelona.
