Milan vs Liverpool: Champions League – LIVE!

58 Minutes: Milan brought in Ismail Benesar for Brahim Diaz and Alexis Selemaker for Tonli.

For the third time in the game, Has turned into a rebound! Mane steals the ball from Tomori, bursts into the box, hits a shot at Magnon and it travels to Origi, who takes it to the far corner!

53 Minutes: A goal is scored in the second Group B game, and Antoine Griezmann scores it! As it stands, Atlético Madrid is going through second place.

53 Minutes: The ball breaks Salah on the side of the field, but his shot is too close to Magnon.

51 Minutes: Casey is played with a free-kick and goes over the foot of Simikas. Milan Want penalties, the referee won’t give them and VAR isn’t going to change his mind. Slow-motion replay makes it look like more of a dive than it initially appears.

50 Minutes: Krunik and Origi walk side by side. Oriji’s arm does his Krunic’s jaw, but that’s no excuse for the face-clutching floor-rolling that follows. Milan win a free-kick.

48 Minutes: Minamino receives the ball outside Milan’s area, is allowed to see it, assess his options, go right, change his mind, turn left, and finally shoot over the bar.

46 Minutes: Peep! Second half is going on. “Speaking of the coffee cup, one must give Ibrahimovic a big steaming one of the strongest things in the house, because he’s got the most sleep in the first half,” says Peter Oh.

players are back And ready to go again. Meanwhile, I’m jealous of the person who got to write this update on the match, they were (essentially) liveblogging this evening:

“Influenced by Liverpool’s intent, despite already being through to the next round,” writes Colm Fordham. “They are giving Milan A fair match even with some second-string players. Liked Oxlade-Chamberlain’s dribble and shot to equalize—but Mo Salah’s finish? sublime or perfect? Um, both — but surely even closer to the bar than he’d like?

an impressive first half From Liverpool’s Fringe+. Oxlade-Chamberlain is looking really sharp, and Salah remains just Salah.

45+2 Minutes: We have half the time. It is not the result that Milan need (Porto is drawing with Atletico Madrid, and is running as it stands), nor a liverpool ideally want. A big second half is about to come.

45+2 Minutes: Oriji tries an optimistic 35-yard try, which flies well over the target.

45+1 min: First half stoppage time of two minutes, give or take.

43 Minutes: Ibrahimovic has the ball on the left. He waits for more support before, once he has five teammates in all to aim for, he turns to Phillips, who clears. In the meantime, here’s a sort of report on other Group B games:

41 Minutes: Liverpool, after making eight changes, hold 62% of the Serie A leaders, and lead 8–3 in goal attempts.

39 Minutes: Mane is played down the left, and is allowed to run despite being clearly offside and has a shot that goes wide before the flag goes over.

38 Minutes: This is Salah’s 20th goal of the season. December 7th. Thus he became the fourth player to score 20 or more goals in five consecutive seasons.

Equalizer! Excellent work from Oxlade-Chamberlain, who takes two challenges and sends a shot that’s not too far from Magnon, but he falls miserably. He pushes it out, but Salah gets to the first rebound.

35 Minutes: one more liverpool Nothing comes to the corner. They had five and did nothing with any of them, Milan had one and scored from that.

32 Minutes: Good foot from Origi inside the area, but then he explodes with a left foot straight into Megan. as it stands Milan Sit in second, one point ahead of Porto, who are drawing with Atlético Madrid.

And the home side took the lead! It turns towards the near post, Minamino misses a chance to clear it with his left foot and a shocked Alison dismisses it to Tomori, who slams into the loose ball.

28 Minutes: Milne breaks up, and finds Ibrahimovic in space on the right side of the field, but Konate comes back, grabs him and blocks the shot from coming in. Milan, however, there is a corner.

25 Minutes: Liverpool won their third corner of the night. Milan Not one yet. This time it’s not cleared immediately, and Konate has time to kill a defender before he can.

22 minutes: Liverpool breaks up, and the ball is sent to Oxlade-Chamberlain in the centre-forward position. The advice behind him is completely free, but Oxlade-Chamberlain fails to control the ball, let alone passing it, and Milan Take him off

20 Minutes: Casey slips and loses the ball to Minamino in midfield, so grabs his opponent by the thigh and hits it to the floor. The referee gives a free-kick, but no card.

18 Minutes: On or off target in Porto, and there is no shot in a corner.

15 minutes: Tsimikas gets a chance to cross from the left, with Origi being the clear target. Instead he picks someone in about 38 rows of stands.

12 Minutes: After falling out with Oriji after a successful challenge, Romagnoli is receiving treatment. After watching the slow-motion replays, I don’t think there’s any way any player could have really been hurt.

10 Minutes: No chance, but an encouraging start. have to win Milan and are showing good positive intention, and liverpool Hardly going to play low blocks.

7 Minutes: Messias Jr. pushes the ball behind Simikas and tries to run straight through him. He puts a palm in the face for his troubles, goes down but the referee remains adamant.

4 minutes: Neko Williams has her first shot of the night, a low effort from about 23 yards that rolls up to Magen.

3 minutes: It is currently 4C in. Is Milan, or around it, and Klopp’s face is hidden behind a snood or some such person. His team has started very fast on the pitch, but no goal is in danger so far.

The players are going out! “I hope Nate Phillips empties his pocket,” writes Jake Lynch, “because he has to fit 6ft 5in Zlatan Ibrahimovic in it.”

Jurgen Klopp talks With BT Sport: “Look, we want to win a football game. We played five matches in 14 days, and that’s the only game when we can really make a difference. We want to push it, we want to be aggressive We want to go for it, but we will see.”

Are we proud? I tried to search for the phrase “we are proud” on a popular search engine, and the top result is “ac” Milan We’re proud coffee cup set”, and now I’ll go to the grave believing it would sparkle on the other half of the room if the photographer rolled up the words “coffee cup set”.

in group A, RB Leipzig have doubled their advantage over Manchester City, and are now 2-0 up. City will still win Groupe, Mind and PSG until they take a 3–1 lead over Club Brugge.

Hello World!

For Liverpool, who have won this group and taken a 10-point lead in their last match, there is little other than figures to play for tonight (no English team has ever scored 100%). won) Champions League group fixtures) and pride, and in the build-up Jurgen Klopp made some subtle hints that he might be involved in a little squad rotation as a result: “We’ll have to spin. We’ll spin,” he teased.

Meanwhile, Stefano Pioli will play for his best side given Milan’s current injury issues. “Liverpool will take the pitch higher, but we know them well and if we get out of their press, we can create significant opportunities,” he added. “The more unpredictable we are, the more trouble we can create. We must have many offensive players, without giving them any reference points. Imagine a defensive line that doesn’t know who to mark. This one There is a position that we must use. It is useful to play these games. We will need sacrifice and commitment.”

They’ll also need a few other things to go their way, given that second place can hardly be more heatedly contested. Porto are the current holders, and know they will be through it if they beat Atletico Madrid at home. Milan will hold on to Porto if they draw and the Portuguese side loses, but that won’t help them much as Atletico will overtake both of them. Whereas if Milan and Atlético both win there may be some maths involved. The pair, you see, would not only be level on points, they would have won the same number of points in games between each other (three), with the same goal difference in those games, and scored the same number of goals. Next on the list of tiebreakers is the goal difference across the group (Milan is one better than Atlético), followed by goals scored (again) in all group matches. Milan There is another), and goals were scored (which if we get that far will make Atletico win, even if they go down 3-2 in the evening). In short, it’s a three-way race that might have been extremely exciting (but, for balance, might not).

Here’s a reminder of what happened on the list when these parties met:
