Despite falling behind early on, Liverpool rallied with a dominant second-half performance to secure a 3-1 victory over AC Milan in their Champions League group stage opener. Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk put the Reds ahead before Dominik Szoboszlai sealed the win.

From the moment they equalised, Liverpool took no mercy. Salah struck the woodwork for a second time before Van Dijk's goal, while Cody Gakpo stung Maignan's palms in first-half stoppage-time. It was also Trent Alexander-Arnold's 11th Champions League assist. Not the worst return, even for a player who regularly finds himself on set-piece duty.
