    FT: Milan 1-2 Liverpool! A perfect six out of six for Liverpool while Milan, who had so much hope heading into tonight, finish bottom of the group. Liverpool become the first English club to win all their group games in a single UEFA Champions League campaign. The Reds kept their perfect record intact with a thoroughly dominant and deserved victory in Milan, who rarely looked like getting the result they needed to progress.
  • 93'
    Liverpool double sub: Woltman and Bradley on for Minamino and Neco Williams.
  • 91'
    Liverpool should seal the points on the counter as Oxlade-Chamberlain races through but he slices his finish high and wide.
  • 91'
    Bennacer is penalised for a foul on Oxlade-Chamberlain
  • 90'
    3 minutes added on!
  • 88'
    Alisson Becker has a habit of making outstanding stops on quiet evenings. The Brazilian’s concentration never wavers, even when he’s had precious little work to do.
  • 85'
    Huge chance for Milan! Kessie is played through with only the goalkeeper to beat but clips his finish against Alisson Becker and it deflects to safety.
  • 84'
    Kessie escapes down the right and whips in a good cross just behind Ibrahimovic, who tries a spectacular bicycle kick but cannot connect properly.
  • 83'
    Ibrahimovic is adjudged to be in an offside position.
  • 83'
    Milan sub: Krunic is replaced by Bakayoko.

  • 76'
    Phillips is penalised for a foul on Ibrahimovic.
  • 74'
    Milan trying to go for it now, with Theo Hernandez playing almost as a winger and four strikers. But the Rossoneri can't find spaces at the moment.
  • 69'
    Origi is left completely unmarked in the centre of the area to head at goal but cannot hit the target.
  • 66'
    Liverpool fans will be delighted to see Keïta and Gomez return to action. The duo missed all of November with hamstring and calf injuries respectively.
  • 65'

  • 64'
    Liverpool double sub: Keita and Joe Gomez on for Salah and Mane.

de Liverpool en el 55'
  • 55'
    GOAL for Liverpool! Origi complete the comeback! Tomori allows the ball to roll under his boot and Mané pounces, drives into the area and draws a parry from Maignan. Origi reacts quicker than the Milan defence and guides his header over and across the goalkeeper to make it 2-1.
  • 54'
    Important block by Kalulu as Minamino drives the loose ball back across goal.
  • 53'
    Into the midriff of Maignan after another snap-shot, this time from Salah.
  • 50'
    Florenzi, Saelemaekers and Bakayoko warming up now.
  • 48'
    A nimble turn outside the area from Minamino before the midfielder curls over from 20 metres.
  • 47'
    Konate is penalised for a foul on Brahim.
  • 46'
    We're back underway! Milan get us going again!
  • 45'
    HT: Milan 1-1 Liverpool! It's not enough for Milan so far, mathematically at least. A balanced first half, with a goal per side. But Milan need to win. Ibrahimovic and Theo Hernandez, probably Milan's most consistent players usually, have struggled so far. If they up their game in the second half they could be key. Aside from Tomori’s goal, this was a reasonably straightforward half for Klopp’s much-changed side.
  • 45'
    45+2: A long spell of possession for Liverpool ends with Origi blazing over from 25 metres.
  • 45'
    2 minutes added on.
  • 40'
    Messias Junior is penalised for a foul on Tsimikas.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Liverpool en el 36'
  • 36'
    GOAL for Liverpool! The Reds level quickly! Oxlade-Chamberlain is given too much time to line up a shot from inside the area and Salah expertly rifles in the rebound after Maignan parries out the strike.
  • 32'
    Quick feet in the area from Origi and his rising snap-shot is saved by Maignan then gathered at the second attempt.
  • 31'
    Corner awarded to Liverpool.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Milan en el 29'
  • 29'
    GOAL for Milan! Fikayo Tomori scores against the English side! The near post corner is not dealt with by the Liverpool defence and Alisson Becker can only push it out to Tomori, who clinically snaffles the chance after reacting quickest.
  • 25'
    60% possession for Liverpool in the opening 25 minutes.
  • 24'
    Corner awarded to Liverpool.
  • 23'
    Mane is penalised for a foul on Tomori.
  • 20'
    Konate gets a glancing header on the outswinging corner but it flashes high and wide.
  • 19'
    Corner awarded to Liverpool.
  • 19'
    A fierce drive from 20 metres that Tomori throws himself in front of to stop it troubling Maignan. Body on the line!
  • 16'
    Konate is penalised for a foul on Ibrahimovic.
  • 15'
    Liverpool have won eight of their last 11 UEFA Champions League matches away from Anfield.
  • 14'
    Some treatment for Romagnoli gives us a brief break in play.
  • 12'
    Messias Junior concedes a free-kick for a foul on Tsimikas.
  • 10'
    Salah has scored ten goals in his last ten UEFA Champions League matches.
  • 8'
    Tomori rises highest to meet the free-kick but the looping header is easily saved high up by the goalkeeper.
  • 5'
    Brahim as expected is down the middle, in the hole behind Ibrahimovic, with Krunic on the left wing.
  • 4'
    A low, skidding shot from 20 metres that the goalkeeper gathers comfortably.
  • 3'
    A slow tempo early on with plenty of possession for the visitors.
  • 1'
    Liverpool get us going in yellow from left to right while Milan are in their usual colours!

    Alisson and Romagnoli, the two captains, come together for the coin toss and we're about to start!
  • PRVW
    The teams make their way out here! What a great atmosphere in the San Siro!!
  • PRVW
    It's 4 degrees and clear in Milan for this one.

    Danny Makkelie is the referee for this one while Pol van Boekel is the VAR.
  • PRVW
    Both teams warming up and adding the finishing touches.
  • PRVW
    Milan and Liverpool come out to warm up to the sound of “We are Milan” from the stadium announcer, and the home crowd gets fired up.
  • PRVW
    Last season's 5-0 win at Atalanta ended the Reds' run of three successive defeats in Italy, although they have nevertheless been beaten in only four of their last 11 away games against Italian clubs, winning four.
  • PRVW
    Last season's home defeat by Manchester United means Milan have won just seven of their 16 games against English visitors, losing the last two and five of the last six.
  • PRVW
    If Ibrahimovic scores tonight he will become the oldest to ever do so in the UEFA Champions League.
  • PRVW
    Klopp makes eight changes to the Liverpool team that beat Wolves on Saturday thanks to Divock Origi’s last-gasp strike. Alisson Becker, Salah and Mane are the only survivors from that side, and it’s a completely new-look defence and midfield.
  • PRVW
    It's the usual 4-2-3-1 system for Pioli. Two very attacking full-backs, two dynamic midfielders, three roaming, attacking players in behind the lone striker. Tomori returns to the starting line-up after being sidelined for a few weeks.
  • PRVW
    Liverpool bench: Davies (GK), Kelleher (GK); TAA, Matip, Robertson, Gomez; Keita, Fabinho, Woltman, Dixon-Bonner, Norris, Bradley
