Liverpool's once-promising season is quickly turning into a disaster.

Fans mock Klopp's farewell tour

They trolled Liverpool supporters, saying the only trophy they would win in Klopp's final season with the club was the Carabao Cup.

Liverpool had grand dreams of winning the quadruple after they defeated Chelsea in the final of the 2024 Carabao Cup last February.

The Reds crashed out of the FA Cup, however, losing in the quarter-finals to bitter rivals Manchester United in gut-wrenching fashion.

Liverpool squandered a 3-2 lead in extra time, conceding late goals to Marcus Rashford and Amad Diallo to lose 4-3 at Old Trafford, per the BBC.

They have also dropped to second place in the Premier League table, trailing leaders Arsenal with seven matches remaining.

Thursday's match against Atalanta was the latest heartbreak for Reds fans.

Former West Ham player Gianluca Scamacca silenced the crowd at Anfield with a goal in the 38th minute. He doubled his tally at the hour mark before Mario Pasalic sealed the win for the Italian club with a strike in the 83rd minute.

One Liverpool supporter was saddened by that performance from the Reds, writing on X that the last ever European night of the Klopp era at Anfield is going to be a 3-0 loss to Atalanta in the Europa League.

Leverkusen, Roma, Benfica record Europa League wins

Sports Brief recently reported on the Europa League quarter-final results.

Bayer Leverkusen, Roma, and Benfica also won the first leg of their last-8 matchups on Thursday.

Leverkusen preserved their unbeaten record this season with a 2-0 win over West Ham.
