Europa League quarter-final draw: Liverpool to play Atalanta; West Ham to play Leverkusen

Good draw for Liverpool fans you would have to say. They’ve avoided Bayer Leverkusen, the outstanding other team left in the competition and AC Milan and AS Roma. Atalanta will give them a good test, but it would appear that is the easier side of the draw.

The same can’t be said for West Ham, against Xabi Alonso’s high-flyers, although they were nearly beaten by Qarabag but for late heroics, so David Moyes will look to follow their example. It all sets up for a potential Leverkusen-Liverpool final in Dublin. If Liverpool lose in the FA Cup in the meantime, that could be Jurgen Klopp’s last game. Against his potential successor Alonso. In Ireland. What a spectacle and narrative that would be.
