Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund celebrated Atalanta’s disappointing 3-0 win over Liverpool. Hojlund, who signed for the Red Devils from Atalanta last summer, has been an interested spectator for his former Europa League side’s trip to Merseyside.
Liverpool struggled to get out of first gear against the Italians. Former West Ham striker Gianluca Scamacca scored twice at Anfield before Maria Pasalic ended Jurgen Klopp’s chances of winning one last European trophy before leaving Liverpool this summer.
Hojlund’s 16 goals for Atalanta earned him a move to United almost 12 months ago. The 21-year-old obviously has fond memories of his time at the club and was quick to score Thursday’s win on social media.
He shared Atalanta’s Instagram story confirming the full-time result on his own page and added the caption “Mola Mia” with a lion emoji. The legend is a Bergamo expression that roughly translates to “never give up” or “stay strong. “.

Hojlund had a decent first season at United, scoring thirteen goals. Although only seven of those moves came in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Klopp admitted Liverpool’s first defeat at Anfield in 14 months was a “low point” in the club’s season. The Reds will travel to Bergamo next week hoping to pull off another historic comeback, but the chances seem unlikely with such a gruelling run for the Premier League name. Go ahead.
“It’s a very bad game, oh my God,” Klopp said, insisting all eyes are now on preparing for Sunday’s game against Crystal Palace.
“We were good, very good, and then we didn’t continue. They broke, they scored, and we just lost our minds. We were here and there in midfield, I didn’t recognize him.

“It was strange, however, in terms of football, it was a tactical discipline. There was a big chance for Darwin [Nunez], then there was bad luck with Harvey, but they scored and we kept betting on their game.
“We played a bad game and deserved to lose. We have to feel it now, but precisely that night we have to feel bad and then we have to be in position for Palace.
Liverpool remains second in the Premier League but has 71 points up for grabs with leaders Arsenal. He has already won the Carabao Cup this season and could achieve a domestic double in Klopp’s final season by winning the league.
