The Spaniard sympathizes with the club from Bergamo, but is also a fan of Liverpool.

Liverpool's Rafael Benitez has been named ahead of the Reds' upcoming opponent in the quarter-finals of the 2023/24 European League, reports the Football Italia portal.

The Spanish specialist appreciates that Atalanta can still reach the semi-finals, even if it is very important.

“Atalanta is playing very well, they can harm them (Liverpool) with counterattacks, as Liverpool is even stronger. In Atalanta there is a motivation to win and go through the entire route at the Lise of Europe.

Klopp will try to overcome the pressure of Enfield so that they can act more aggressively, but Liverpool may be forced to leave, and they will continue to fight for the Premier League championship. I respect that in Atalanta there is evidence to escape from pressure, if it is important. “I can support Liverpool, but I should support Atalanta,” said 63-year-old Benitez.

Guess, today, the 11th quarter, Liverpool will take on Atalanta in the first part of the matches of the 1/4 finals of the League. The fight will end at 22:00 Kyiv time.
