Jurgen Klopp speaks on Liverpool's chances of qualifying for the Europa League semi-finals

Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp has answered questions as to whether his side can still qualify for the Europa League semi-finals after suffering a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Atalanta at the Anfield stadium.

Liverpool were stunned by the Serie A side Atalanta in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals as they fell to a 3-0 defeat in England. This came as a shock to many following the form of Liverpool heading into the fixture, Klopp was critical of his side in his post-match press conference as he spoke about his side not taking their chances as well as making errors leading to the opposition scoring.

He however spoke about the probability of his side (Liverpool) still qualifying for the semi-finals of the Europa League. He said, "I believe that it's not the moment to talk about that. What I can say already [is] I am not in the mood to think now about a game which is in a week's time when we have another one in between. What we definitely will [do is] try and for that we have to play really good. We try to win the game there and then we will see what we can do from there but it's now not the moment for having a big mouth and just telling them what we will do there. We have to play a really good game when we arrive, but this was probably a low point for us performance-wise tonight, I would say, for a long time, so I think it should be possible to play a little bit better – and if we can play a little bit better then we can play much better as well. But, first and foremost, Sunday. That is much more important now."
