KLOPP: NEVER GIVE CUP

Jurgen wants to invoke spirit of Barcelona miracle saying: If we fail...let's fáil beautifully

-  DAVID ANDERSON

JURGEN KLOPP has evoked memories of Liverpool's famous Barcelona comeback by telling his players to "fail in a most-beautiful way" if they cannot complete their mission impossible tonight.

Liverpool trail Atalanta 3-0 following last week's horror show at Anfield and the Reds have never won a European tie after losing the first leg at home.

They famously beat Barcelona 4-0 at Anfield in the Champions League semi-final in May 2019 after losing 3-0 (celebrating, above), and Klopp will send his players out tonight with the same words.

"I remember that I said, 'If we fail, then let's fail in a most-beautiful way', and that's how I see it again," said the Liverpool boss.
