It's a duel that probably takes some football fans back 19 years. AC Milan versus Liverpool, it smells like the Champions League. In 2005, the Reds accomplished the “miracle of Istanbul”, when they came back from a three-goal deficit to claim the title (3-3 aet, 3-2 on penalties). Two years later, the Rossoneri took their revenge in the final of the competition (2-1).
This Tuesday, September 17, Rafael Leão and his teammates will try to disrupt Mohamed Salah's Liverpool at home, at San Siro. Authors of an average start to the championship – one victory, two draws and one defeat – the Milanese are still coming off a large 4-0 victory against Venice.
Opposite, the English have started a new cycle, marked by the departure of the emblematic Jürgen Klopp, replaced on the bench by Arne Slot. Liverpool have started their season better than their future opponents – three wins and one defeat in the Premier League – enough to give the Reds a slight advantage before entering this new edition of the Champions League.
The match can be followed this Tuesday, September 17 from 9 p.m. on Canal + Sport.
