San Siro is the venue and AC Milan are the opponent as Arne Slot embarks on his first Champions League outing as Liverpool manager.
In what is a repeat of the Champions League finals in 2005 in Istanbul, the scene of one of football’s greatest comebacks, and 2007 in Athens, this game promises to be a close encounter with both clubs steeped in European success.
There is a strong Premier League influence in the Milan roster, with six of their current players having experienced top-flight English football, including Three Lions internationals Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Fikayo Tomori and Tammy Abraham.
Federico Chiesa is poised to make his debut in Liverpool red after travelling with Slot’s squad to Italy.
