AC Milan, the Rossoneri, who were ranked 10th in Serie A before the game, ushered in the first round of the Champions League stage, and AC Milan sat at their home PK against Liverpool, who were ranked 4th in the Premier League before the game.
Before the game, AC Milan had been unbeaten in 2 consecutive games (1 win, 1 draw), while Liverpool's 1-1 record in the last 2 games was not as good as AC Milan's. In the last five meetings between the two sides, Liverpool have the absolute upper hand as Liverpool have beaten AC Milan in all five of them. So this game is also a revenge battle between AC Milan and Liverpool.
Just three minutes into the first half, AC Milan launched a long pass from the goalkeeper, Morata sent a delicate diagonal ball at the back, Pulisic won the ball and rode alone, ran into the right side of the penalty area and scored a low shot to help AC Milan take the lead.
AC Milan legends Kaka and Dida are witnessed.
In the 17th minute of the first half, Mohamed Salah hit the crossbar with a powerful shot from the right side of the penalty area, and AC Milan escaped.
Six minutes later, Trent Alexander-Arnold from a set-piece on the left side of the pitch sent in a clever overhead pass and Konate leapt in front of goal to head home to help Liverpool equalise.
Seven minutes later, Salah hit the crossbar again in stoppage time on the right side of the penalty area!
At the end of the first half, Tsimikas sent a clever pass from a corner on the right, and Van Dijk jumped up in front of goal to help Liverpool take the lead again.
In the 22nd minute of the second half, Gakpo sent a clever pass, and Szobosloy volleyed in front of goal to help Liverpool score again.
In the end, AC Milan was reversed by Liverpool and missed the start of the new Champions League, and AC Milan lost to Liverpool 6 times in a row, continuing the shameful record of not winning against Liverpool for 14 consecutive years! And the Liverpool team ushered in a good start!
