Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Italian football club Atalanta qualified for the second-tier UEFA Europa League semifinals, despite a 1-0 home loss to England’s Liverpool on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Liverpool’s Egyptian star Mohamed Salah scored an early goal from the penalty spot to give hope to his team in Bergamo. But it was a quite difficult task for the visitors as Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool were beaten 3-0 by Atalanta last week at Anfield.<\/p>\n

Atalanta eliminated Liverpool to face French team Olympique Marseille in the semis, which will start on May 2.<\/p>\n

“We won the game, and that was the reaction we wanted to show. It was difficult, and we knew it would be, but Atalanta deserve to go through, 100%,” Klopp said.<\/p>\n

“We are out, but I am happy with the game. We would have wished that we could have gone to Dublin, but that hasn’t happened,” the Liverpool boss added.<\/p>\n

Atalanta head coach Gian Piero Gasperini told Italy’s Sky Sport that they are “very happy” to be in the semifinals and did their best against Liverpool during the two matches.<\/p>\n

“We eliminated a great coach and a great team. We put everything into the two matches \u2013 first and foremost, our heart,” Gasperini said.<\/p>\n

Atalanta, Germany’s Bayer Leverkusen, Olympique Marseille and Italy’s Roma reached the semifinals.<\/p>\n

Leverkusen, who clinched their first-ever German league title last weekend, drew 1-1 at West Ham United in a quarterfinal match in London but won 3-1 on aggregate.<\/p>\n

Roma beat AC Milan 2-1 to progress, and Olympique Marseille won 4-2 on penalties against Portugal’s Benfica to advance to the semis.<\/p>\n

The Europa League semifinals will be held on May 2 and 9.<\/p>\n

Ireland’s Dublin Arena will host the 2024 final on May 22.<\/p>\n
