BERGAMO, Italy - Atalanta progressed to the Europa League semi-finals despite losing 1-0 to Liverpool on April 18 as they triumphed 3-1 on aggregate to move one step closer to a first ever European final for the Serie A side.

Atalanta had stunned the Premier League club 3-0 in the first leg of their quarter-final last week at Anfield, levelling another huge blow to Liverpool's dreams of a fairytale ending in manager Juergen Klopp's final season.
