Liverpool saw their hopes of Europa League glory ended on a frustrating night against Atalanta in Italy on Thursday.
Mohamed Salah's early penalty earned the Reds a 1-0 victory on the night but couldn't prevent a 3-1 quarter-final aggregate exit. The result means Jurgen Klopp’s men must now concentrate on attempting to secure the Premier League title having already won the League Cup this season.
But there was plenty that went unnoticed or under the radar during the 90 minutes at the Gewiss Stadium.

Klopp confused
Liverpool's obvious need for goals, and Atalanta's contentment with sitting back, combined in a remarkable manner during the first half.
Alisson Becker received the ball outside his area and, with the home side backing off, was able to advance all the way to inside the centre circle before pinging a pass out to the left flank.
Klopp, standing bewildered on the touchline, informed the Brazilian in no uncertain terms that, as the goalkeeper, he might be best served being nearer his own penalty area - not least given outfield team-mates should be taking on the responsibility of initiating attacks from midfield.
Alisson record
Not so much a moment missed as one that transpired in full view of everyone watching without them ever realising. And once again it revolved around Alisson.
The goalkeeper's involvement in general play was so regular that he completed 82 passes - the most of any player on either side.
And it was also the highest number totalled by any keeper ever in European competition since such records began 20 years ago. Er, well done?
Van Dijk turns away
The game was only a few minutes old when Liverpool players called for it to be stopped, to the confusion of some inside the stadium and those on the pitch.
It soon transpired, though, that Virgil van Dijk had injured his finger which, as anyone who has suffered the complaint is acutely aware, really hurts.
And when the issue was being sorted, Van Dijk chose not to have a look at what was going on. Wise move, Virgil.
Fans make themselves heard
The Gewiss Stadium is a strange mixture of old and modern as Atalanta attempt to renovate without compromising too much on their history.
It wasn't quite finished for the visit of Liverpool, which led to the away fans - fewer than 1,000 tickets were given to the travelling Reds - being positioned in what can only be described a rickety temporary stand in the corner.
But those who made the journey were determined to make the most of their evening, belting through the regular songbook before airing a defiant rendition of "You'll Never Walk Alone" during the closing stages. Mind you, it still wasn't as loud as the PA announcer. It would be no surprise to discover several Atalanta season ticket holders suffer from hearing problems later in life.
