Traveling to the Italian capital with many pessimistic predictions about a “less good, more bad” tour, Liverpool showed that the experts were completely right with their assessment.

 

Home team AC Milan launched an attack right after the opening whistle and scored an early goal in the 3rd minute. Christian Pulisic dribbled from midfield, charged straight into Liverpool’s penalty area and fired a decisive shot, opening the score.

Conceding a goal so quickly, the visitors were forced to attack strongly. After Mohamed Salah’s shot hit the crossbar in the 17th minute, just 5 minutes later, center-back Ibrahima Konate headed home an equalizer for Liverpool from Alexander-Arnold’s left-wing free kick.

It was quite surprising when AC Milan gradually lost control of the game and by the 30th minute, only the crossbar saved the home team after Mohamed Salah’s second unlucky shot.

However, the home team could not avoid conceding a goal in the 41st minute, this time from a set-piece situation. Tsimikas took a corner kick from the right wing and centre-back Van Dijk jumped the highest, heading the ball past home goalkeeper Mike Maignan.

AC Milan’s “spider man” himself had to leave the field due to injury early in the second half and his replacement Lorenzo Torriani had to watch his own net shake again.

In the 67th minute, Cody Gakpo assisted Dominik Szoboszlai to score, sealing a 3-1 victory for Liverpool.
