Why did you end up talking about Manchester City's performance if what you were discussing was today's Atalanta vs Liverpool match? For the second leg match between Atalanta vs Liverpool, it will actually be quite crucial because Liverpool will definitely make a comeback in today's second leg even though it won't be easy to score more than three goals. However, if Liverpool also lose again in today's second leg, I think there is something wrong with Liverpool recently that could affect the mentality of the players themselves.

Even if we have seen Liverpool make a similar comeback in the Champions League, it does not mean that they will keep doing it every season. One of the famous comeback in the history of the Champions League was done by Liverpool in anfield against Barcelona, this means that they have the record of that great comeback. But then, I do not expect such a miracle this time around especially as the match is not being played in anfield. Liverpool might be able to defeat Atlanta but qualifying for the next round could be a difficult tax for them.

The joy of the Bundesliga title is a conviction and a motivation to win triple titles this season. Sincerely, I think Xavi Alonso and his boys deserve it. Moyes let Westham down when he played defensive against Bayern Leverkusen in the first leg, in this return leg he cannot do much.

Because they have succeeded in winning the Bundesliga title, Leverkusen will be able to focus more on the Europa League competition, this will be beneficial for Leverkusen and it is possible that they can produce their best performance.

The second leg match against West Ham should not be so difficult for Leverkusen because they have won by 2 goals in the first leg so that they will be more confident going into this second leg.
Let's just look realistically, these two teams have different strengths and this season it is clear that Leverksuen is much stronger than West Ham, so I don't think there will be any big surprises here and I am sure Leverkusen will advance to the semifinals easily.

Liverpool chances of turning things around in the second leg are very slim because they have to overcome a 3 goal deficit, but for Klopp team it is still possible to achieve a narrow victory even though it does not allow them to qualify for the semifinals. Atalanta, who act as hosts, is certainly at a great advantage, it looks like they will play relaxed by focusing more on defense and relying on counter attacks.

On the Liverpool side, Salah and his colleagues will play aggressively and attack, because they are required to catch up, which will make this second leg match interesting to wait for. But it would be very surprising if in the end Atalanta failed to maintain their lead, and had to give up Liverpool who were heading to the semifinals.

Overall statistically we have to admit that Liverpool are much better than Atalanta, but the surprise in the Europa League makes the story very different. Previously, Atalanta was not at all favored and could create a surprise, where many believed that Liverpool would be able to beat Atalanta easily, but luck was not on Klopp and his fleet's side.

West Ham lost the first leg against Leverkusen and it was goalkeeper Fabianski who saved West Ham from a bigger deficit. West Ham's percentage of possession in the first leg was less than Leverkusen's goal attempts. This shows West Ham's desperation. Leverkusen are the defending Bundesliga champions and are aiming for the Europa League title. They will also want to extend their unbeaten run. Apart from Hlozek, they have no absentees. Bowen is not expected to play for West Ham, while Paqueta will not play due to suspension.

West Ham are a team that should not be underestimated at home, but their first match performance and their recent form is worrying. Even if West Ham score in this game, I think it is inevitable that they will be exposed against Leverkusen's game plan. It won't be a surprise if Leverkusen wins this difficult away game and Leverkusen will be the team to go through.

After the great success in the Bundesliga competition, and making sure that they win the Bundesliga title, they will play in the Europa League competition against West Ham tomorrow. This is the second leg of the quarterfinal match. And Leverkusen has a very good lead of two goals going into the second lead. So I think we can expect them to actually win this match. They way they are playing, it is hard to doubt them at this moment.

I also believe that just because they have been able to win the Bundesliga title, they will not be losing interest in other competitions. They have two more competitions to win, the Europa League competition and the DFB Pokal. And I believe both of them are very winnable for Leverkusen. Let's see if they can continue performing well like they have been doing so far. ~2 odds really impressive for Leverkusen.

Well, if you look at the last two games we lost, we were able to create chances and shots, but we can't put them away. A clinical edge is required if I'm not going to be hiding behind my sofa for the rest of the season. I'm pretty sure Atalanta is going to park the bus against us tonight but we are going to have to find a way to break that and score within the first half in order to progress.

I am not believing yet with Liverpool opportunity has second chance to make come back and winning over 4 goals tonight on second leg match of Europe League against Atalanta. Liverpool had downtrend performance after defeating by Atalanta on the first leg match and got loss against Crystal Palace last week, its difficult how to defeat Atalanta who plays on their home and Liverpool need to win aggregate 4 goals above if want get lead to semifinal round.
Liverpool get huge pressure after losing on the first leg match and dropping their position in domestic league make Liverpool need to prefer focus on domestic league, indeed has chance for Liverpool winning the second leg match but seems not easy scoring 4 goals above with Atalanta play more defensive tonight.

Liverpool can win, but the question is, will it be enough? PSG showed us that anything can happen in a match, if something similar happens with Atalanta, then anything is possible. But if we consider the current situation, I will say that Liverpool will not be able to advance to the semi-finals without some kind of intervention from the referee, such as a penalty or a red card. So today could be Liverpool's last match in the EL.

In other words, European league competitions are not like domestic leagues where it is easier to predict the final result and in competitions such as the European League or UCL it is a prestigious competition to fight for the title.
Liverpool does have a big aggregate difference while Atalanta already has an aggregate score that really gives a guarantee of being able to qualify for the next round, but if Liverpool can hold a draw to score 3 scores and survive until the end of the match, they will definitely enter the penalty shootout round and that's when Liverpool have a big chance to qualify for the next round winning the penalty shootout round.

as I said above, if the difference is 3 scores, it is very difficult, but Liverpool opportunity is still wide open to end the match with a draw and get a surprise from the penalty round.
or there is another option or strategy, namely Liverpool must try to survive without conceding and score 4 scores to qualify for the next round, but this option is much more difficult.
I hope Klopp doesn't make any more mistakes and it's better to use Salah from the first half to the last half.

Liverpool are capable of performing a comeback against Atalanta, they are a bigger club and have players that can make it to happen. Liverpool were distracted in the first leg as they were reserving players for the premier league but they are no longer in the title race therefore all attention is now shifted to the Europa league which is the only chance of getting a big trophy this season before Klopp leaves them. Liverpool have done many comeback against better teams and doing it again against a small club like Atalanta is not going to be hard but the players need to be willing to want to win the game in spite of all the bad games they have been getting of late. I want Liverpool to win this one as all English clubs are out of Europe competition because Manchester city and Arsenal got knocked out of the champions league yesterday night after a tough fight from both teams.

Looks like I'm not the only one who still believes in Liverpool. When it comes to Liverpool and their talented players, anything is possible. Atalanta will play the match by resting its important players. They are a little lucky in this regard, they have a 3-0 advantage and their players are rested. Liverpool, on the other hand, will come into the match more tired as they are competing for the championship in the EPL. We will watch together what may happen in the evening.

I think not only you but all Liverpool fans also wonder how their beloved team can turn things around which looks very difficult to do unless Atalanta experiences what Barcelona experienced when they lost to PSG a few days ago, and for some reason, I predict Atalanta will play more defensive because they knew Liverpool would play aggressively from the first minutes of the match. Catching up from three goals behind is not an easy thing if Liverpool wants to advance to the semifinals without extra time or penalty shootouts Liverpool must score four goals without conceding, and it is quite doubtful because in the last two matches Liverpool's attackers did not even score a single goal.

I still predicted that AC Milan will go to the semifinals, their struggle will not be too hard because they are only one goal behind.
Roma in the last five matches is not a productive team because in five matches in all competitions, they only scored four goals, in contrast to Milan who are much more productive, Milan's attackers will try to score more than two goals and also keep their defense from conceding.

Liverpool lose first leg 3-0 at Anfield. Maybe this second leg might makes change and a miracle will happen but gone are those days, this new one comes in real form. Jurgen Klopp will look forward for an epic comeback, but he should reminded that this is not some random game but a crucial ones. Atalanta will not lose to Liverpool at home, instead they will fight for draw tie because they're more formidable on home ground. The echoes and chants alone coming from the fans will boosts the performance of Manchester City.

I doubt if Atalanta will lose to Liverpool as we are all expecting. They can lose but I don’t think they will misuse the opportunity they had by defeating Liverpool with three goals. Even if Liverpool end up winning the match, I don’t think they can eliminate Atalanta because Atalanta will definitely use their home advantage to score some goals in the match.

That's what makes a football match interesting. That is, there is a small possibility that it could even be a surprise and surprising results from a match are no longer strange. And Atalanta, which has a very small chance of qualifying for the semi-finals, still has a chance to turn things around. But with 3 goals behind in the first leg, things won't be easy for Liverpool. And Atalanta, who will play at home, will definitely play better than in the first leg. And maybe Liverpool will indeed fail and will not advance to the semi-finals. But we'll see whether a big surprise will happen or not. Roma and Milan and also Marseille and Benfica will still be very fierce matches. Because the goal difference between the two is only 1.

That was a comfortable result amx if they can hold on to that very well tommorow at home, they will be able to find themselves in the next round of the European Europa League Competition.
Also, Liverpool lost again against Crystal Palace making it a back to back lose at home. I wonder if they be in a good mood to still face Atalanta at home.
Though they still remain favorites but I don't know if they would be able to score four good goals tommorow night as they travel.

For the game between Bayern Leverkusen and West Ham United, it's gone be a good night for the Bundesliga League Champions, they would get either a draw or win after drinking so much beer from the last game.

Well football happens and we really can't tell for sure before the game ends who's going to win or loose but by records or statistics we can make good speculations and hopefully they get to play out as we speculated which in itself could be considered luck because some other times it happens that our speculations go other wise and not as we have predicted so then we would not be very correct to assume totally what we aren't sure of yet.

Atlanta were able to win Liverpool in their first leg and that isn't a guarantee to the fact that they will still win the second leg because Atlanta isn't really such a tough team and somehow i would want to see them Lucky in the first leg and obviously they are going to make sure to protect it to their advantage so they can still remain in the Europa thereby making things actually really hard for Liverpool been able to make up to three goals or more to make up for their first loss and probably a chance to get to the semifinals of the game. Liverpool may probably get to score three goals because they know what's at stake for this game already.

I understand that currently Liverpool has got less chance but then it's possible they could still find a way around winning a d probably get to be in the semi finals so let's not write them off just yet as they may actually have what it takes to win the trophy this season but may probably at this point be appearing like they don't have what it takes probably because of their recent form a d loss the got in their last fixture.

The ongoing champions league qualification matches is a lesson to learn from and that any team can still have a chance to qualify even after losing in their first leg matches, they just need to be at their best and try to convert every opportunity they have as soon as possible before the game goes not in favour of them. Liverpool’s loss to Atalanta was unexpected and it was a huge one for them to concede three goals to Atalanta. The goal difference is kinda big but in football nothing is impossible and they can turn things around if they want to. They just need to be at their best and win as many goals as possible while be offensive and also defensive to protect their goals. 90minutes is enough time for them to do what they need to in order to qualify for the next round of the competition.

in football matches nothing is impossible and there are always surprises in every match and we can take an example from another competition UCL when Barcelona failed after having a higher aggregate score and this can happen to Liverpool even though they lost in terms of aggregate score and played away from home, of course a surprise could happen even though the chance is very small.
It all depends on how Atalanta performs in the upcoming match and if Atalanta can be more careful not to make mistakes I don't think Liverpool has any chance.

It turned out that it was not in accordance with what we said and Liverpool had to regret leaving the European League despite trying to appear very great but any effort would not be able to change Liverpool situation.
even 1 score scored Salah is like a lucky score to get a penalty kick the chance and for me there is something wrong because even though it looks bad but actually Liverpool has a very consistent appearance in terms of mastering the ball looks more relaxed but strangely does not have a chance to score a score
TBH, this failure I blame Klopp who uses an unreasonable strategy when using Salah in the second half and it is a big mistake like Klopp underestimated Atalanta and ended unable to pursue the aggregate scores that Atalanta had.
