Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has hailed his players despite their exit from the Europa League.
The Reds beat Atalanta 1-0 in Bergamo, but lost the tie 3-1 on aggregate.
After Mohamed Salah’s early penalty, Klopp’s men failed to get more goals, despite having control for most of the game.
Klopp has now said they will concentrate on the Premier League, where they are in third place, two points behind leaders Manchester City.
“It was clear we gave ourselves a massive hurdle. I liked the game a lot tonight with the desire and power the boys show. It was incredible from them.
“It was really tricky and we were too hasty in moments. We won the game and that was the reaction we wanted to show. It was difficult and we knew it would be but they deserve to go through 100%.
“We have to focus on the league and that is exactly what we will do from now. Tonight we won the game so we are back to winning ways.
“We have a few days to recover to go again against Fulham. That will be a different game but it will be tricky,” Klopp said.
