'What I can say': Jurgen Klopp reacts when asked if Liverpool can turn Atalanta tie around

After Liverpool's 3-0 defeat to Atalanta in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final, Jurgen Klopp was asked if he believed his team could overturn the tie in the second game in Italy.

"I believe that it's not the moment to talk about that," Klopp answered.

"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."

Liverpool are taking on Crystal Palace on Sunday before the second game against Atalanta.
