In a luxury duel, Milan and Liverpool begin their journey through the new Champions League today, and here we leave you the minute by minute LIVE so that you don’t miss a detail of every play of the match.
Here you won’t miss any of the action in a match that promises a lot and that will pit two teams that are desperate for victory. While Milan is coming off a thrashing of Venice in Serie A and is looking to extend its good form in the Champions League, Liverpool is coming off a painful defeat against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
“It is an important match for us as well because it is the first and the next one, and the next one is always the most important, as you know. But because of the history that these two teams have and the place where it is played, it is a match that we are looking forward to,” said Arne Slot about Tuesday’s encounter.
‘WE ARE NOT AFRAID OF HIM’
On the other hand, Arne Slot assured that they will face the duel against Milan without fear, even though they respect the Italian team, which comes with the morale in its favor.
“They have quality players. We are not afraid, but we respect all their players because last Saturday they showed that they are in good form. They had a very good 4-0 win. So we respect Milan a lot, but ‘scared’ is not the word we would use.
“Szoboslai has played all four games and every player feels more important when he plays than when he doesn’t. But every member of the squad has his role and over a season they will all play a lot because we play a lot of games. He has been important for us, especially so far in our work when we don’t have the ball; he has been exceptional in his pressing game. I think something I need to work on with him is to get him involved even more in scoring goals and creating chances for us because I think he scored three last season, if I remember correctly,” he concluded.
