Liverpool meet one of their rivals in their UCL finals clashes
After being eliminated by Real Madrid in the quarter-final last season, Liverpool need a good start this year. However, they face one of the giants in European football, AC Milan, a team they beat in 2005 final. Surprisingly this is the first European H2H meeting outside the finals.
In effect, Jurgen Klopp hopes his team’s fine start to PL season will reflect in this match. Moreover, Liverpool’s resurgence as a European contender was felt by most teams they faced in recent years. Furthermore, since the start of the 2017/18 season, only Bayern Munich and Manchester City have better records. Indeed, Liverpool’s record stands at 25 wins and 95 goals since then.
Liverpool Key Stats
AC Milan are back in Europe’s top competition
In Contradiction to Liverpool’s recent results in the Champions League, Milan will play in the UCL group stage for the first time since 2013/14. Meanwhile, their start to their Serie A season is perfect so far winning all three matches. Moreover, Rossoneri’s undefeated run extends to eight games since the conclusion of last season.
Alarmingly, Milan’s form guide dips when we take their record against English opposition. In fact, the Italians won just one of their last 13 European matches against English sides (D4, L8). Also, Milan’s strong domestic form didn’t help them in Europe last term as they won just two of their last eight Europa League fixtures.
