AC Milan vs Liverpool Preview

  • Draw or Liverpool win
  • Diaz to score

Historic European Rivalry Renewed

The newly formatted UEFA Champions League (UCL) wasted no time in delivering high-stakes matchups, and the clash between AC Milan and Liverpool on matchday one is set to be a classic.

Both clubs boast illustrious European histories, having conquered the continent multiple times, and they’ve even taken turns claiming trophies at each other’s expense.

Liverpool’s miraculous comeback in the 2005 final in Istanbul remains one of the most iconic moments in football history, while Milan exacted their revenge two years later in Athens.

AC Milan’s Struggles Against English Clubs

Since their triumph in Athens, AC Milan have faced difficulties when up against English opposition. The Rossoneri have managed just three wins in their last 21 encounters with English clubs (D6, L12), including two losses to Liverpool in the 2021/22 UCL group stage.

Furthermore, the San Siro, once considered one of Europe’s most formidable fortresses, has lost some of its intimidating aura. Milan have won less than half of their last 18 European home games (W7, D3, L8).

Coming into this match, Milan were in a precarious position but gained some respite with a 4-0 win over Venezia at the weekend.

This victory was crucial for new manager Paulo Fonseca, who had a challenging start with three winless games in Serie A (D2, L1). The win against Venezia could mark a turning point as Fonseca aims to steer Milan back to European glory.

Liverpool’s European Comeback and Recent Form

Liverpool, under the guidance of Arne Slot, are making their return to the Champions League after a season in the UEFA Europa League.

Slot began his tenure on Merseyside impressively with three consecutive wins without conceding, but the Reds suffered a shock defeat in their last outing, losing 1-0 to Nottingham Forest in a surprising upset.

This marks an important European fixture for Liverpool, especially since their previous campaign ended in Italy against Atalanta.

Despite that setback, Liverpool have a strong record in Italy, winning four of their last five trips to the country (L1). The Reds will be looking to maintain this momentum as they embark on their UCL journey this season.

Key Players to Watch

Ruben Loftus-Cheek (AC Milan)

Loftus-Cheek will be aiming to reinvent himself at Milan, particularly against Liverpool. During his time in England, he faced Liverpool eight times without registering a goal or an assist.

This match offers a fresh start and an opportunity to make a significant impact on Milan’s European campaign.

Luis Díaz (Liverpool)

Díaz has been a key player for Liverpool, particularly in European competitions. Notably, he has scored in Liverpool’s first European game of the season for two consecutive years.

Díaz’s attacking flair and knack for scoring important goals make him a player to watch in this encounter.

Conclusion

This match promises to be a thrilling encounter between two European giants with rich histories and a sense of rivalry.

AC Milan will be looking to build on their recent win and overcome their struggles against English teams, while Liverpool aim to re-establish themselves in the Champions League with a strong start.

With both teams having something to prove, this clash at the San Siro is set to be a captivating contest.

Prediction: A closely fought match with Liverpool’s recent European experience and strong record in Italy giving them a slight edge.
