Liverpool’s return to the Champions League could not have gone any better after turning around a 1-0 deficit to win 3-1 against AC Milan. Arne Slot’s side fell behind in the third minute after Christian Pulisic’s opener. Ibrahima Konate then put matters level in the 23rd minute before Virgil van Dijk gave his team the lead shortly before the break. Dominik Szoboszlai sealed the points with a third goal to Slot’s delight. “The whole team played well and then the individuals can shine from there,” he said post-match. “Normally you celebrate your birthday with your friends and your family. But…
Federico Chiesa has broken his silence after making his debut for Liverpool. The 26-year-old forward, who signed from Juventus late into the summer transfer window, enjoyed a brief cameo as the Reds stormed past AC Milan at the San Siro in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Christian Pulisic put the Rossoneri ahead inside the opening minutes before Ibrahima Konate found Liverpool an equaliser from a corner. Just moments before the break, Virgil van Dijk fired Arne Slot’s side into the lead, scoring from another set-piece routine. Halfway into the second half, Dominik Szoboszlai extended the Reds’ lead to wrap…
Player ratings. Everyone loves player ratings. Well, apart from the players themselves when are they awarded a mark they deem is below their level of performance. Now we doubt there were any such problems with the members of the Liverpool squad last night who glanced at Paul Gorst’s ratings for the impressive 3-1 Champions League win over AC Milan in the San Siro. There were 7s and 8s aplenty and even a 9 for Cody Gakpo, who marked his return to the Reds’ starting line-up with a vibrant display that more than justified Arne Slot’s decision to include his fellow…
Trent Alexander-Arnold sent a message to Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham after helping Liverpool beat AC Milan. The Reds claimed a 3-1 victory over the Serie A giants in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Alexander-Arnold played a key role in the victory at the San Siro, providing the assist for Ibrahima Konate’s header to equalise for Liverpool. Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai were also on the score-sheet as the Reds emerged as convincing winners in their away trip to Italy. Arne Slot and his relatively new side will now look ahead to facing AFC Bournemouth this weekend in…
Martin Zubimendi was a target for Liverpool in the summer transfer window. Martin Zubimendi has reportedly asked Liverpool to revive interest in him when the January transfer window opens. The midfielder was the Reds’ chief target in the summer as Arne Slot wanted to bolster his midfielder options. Liverpool were prepared to meet Zubimendi’s release clause of £52 million in his Real Sociedad contract – but he decided to stay at his boyhood club. Zubimendi was expected to sign a new deal in San Sebastian. Yet Estadio Deportivo reports that the Spain international – who helped his country to Euro…
Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi now regrets his decision to reject a summer transfer to Liverpool and is pushing for a January move, according to reports in Spain. Liverpool had a quiet transfer window compared to some of its Premier League rivals, bringing in just two new players. Italian winger Federico Chiesa was signed from Juventus in a deal worth $13 million, and $33 million was spent on Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, although he was loaned back to the Spanish club for the 2024-25 season as part of the agreement. The Reds were prepared to spend money and pursued the…
Liverpool had quite a few impressive performers as Arne Slot collected his three points in the Champions League by beating AC Milan. But few stood out as much as Cody Gakpo. In on the left flank for his first competitive start under the new head coach, Gakpo set up Dominik Szoboszlai’s goal and was a threat to the Milan backline. Slot revealed post-match that he would have started the match against Nottingham Forest, too, had he not played two lots of 90 minutes for the Netherlands. In that match, he struggled — like most of his teammates did — after…
Hungarian maestro Dominik Szoboszlai has earned high praise from Liverpool club icon John Barnes – drawing lofty comparisons to Anfield legend Steven Gerrard thanks to his sizzling form under new manager Arne Slot. Having joined the squad last July for what proved to be Jurgen Klopp’s final term at the helm, Szoboszlai impressed in his debut campaign. Despite a hamstring setback and a modest tally of seven goals and four assists across competitions, he is now flourishing in a slightly more attacking midfield role under Dutchman Slot. Szoboszlai has now been hailed by Barnes, who commended him for his versatility…
A new update has dropped regarding Liverpool’s potential transfer business in January – one that is in contrast to a recent claim. Much was made of the Reds’ relatively quiet summer transfer window, during a period in which many supporters wanted to see significant additions come in. Liverpool haven’t exactly broken the bank with new signings in recent years, so the hope was that Arne Slot would have plenty of fresh blood added to his squad. Instead, only Giorgi Mamardashvili and Federico Chiesa were signed by the Merseysiders, and the former has remained on loan at Valencia for at least…
“It’s unbelievable that you can lose against Nottingham Forest at home if you can play this well today,” was Arne Slot’s message to his Liverpool players after their 3-1 win over AC Milan on Tuesday. It was a professional response to Saturday’s honeymoon-ender. The romanticism of the iconic San Siro was somewhat dulled with barely two thirds of it full due to unaffordable hikes in ticket prices – and those inside supporting the hosts were largely muted following Virgil van Dijk’s header on 41 minutes. Liverpool’s attacking dominance after the initial 15 minutes can be expressed by their 23 shots,…
