AC Milan were unable to pick up any points during their first game back in the Champions League for seven years as they were beaten 3-2 by Liverpool.
It was a rollercoaster of a game at Anfield where a packed crowd were treated to five goals, with three coming in the first 45 minutes as Ante Rebic and Brahim Diaz fired the Rossoneri into a lead after Trent Alexander-Arnold’s deflected shot opened the scoring.
Jurgen Klopp’s side came back resurgent after the break, levelling through Mo Salah before Jordan Henderson’s first time strike won the game. Nonetheless, the players can hold their heads high, and below are the reactions of the squad on social media…
Usciamo sconfitti da una gara difficile. Sappiamo che il percorso sarà impegnativo, ma daremo sempre tutto per dimostrare il nostro valore anche in Europa.
