Milan vs Liverpool: Preview, predictions and lineups
- Milan host Liverpool in Arne Slot’s first Champions League game in charge of the Reds
- Reds suffered shock 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest on home soil last weekend
- Repeat of the 2005 and 2007 Champions League finals
In a repeat of the 2005 and 2007 Champions League finals, Liverpool face Italian giants Milan in Europe’s premier competition this Tuesday.
It’s Arne Slot’s Champions League debut as Liverpool head coach and the Dutchman will want to see significant improvements from Saturday’s 1-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest. Having won the opening three games of the season impressively, the weekend served as a reality check for the Reds.
Milan have made a stuttering start to the 2024/25 campaign with just one victory from their opening four matches under new coach Paulo Fonseca. However, that triumph did come in their most recent outing, with four goals in the opening half-hour securing a comfortable win over Venezia.
Liverpool and Milan have plenty of history from the noughties, with two Champions League final encounters, but their most recent meetings came in 2021/22. On that occasion, Jurgen Klopp’s side came out victorious in two group stage meetings, including a 3-2 thriller at Anfield.
Here is 90min’s guide to a tantalising clash between two sides that boast 13 Champions League triumphs between them.
