Liverpool finished their first 40 minutes of football against the Rossoneri with a goal and 14 shots (including a Mohamed Salah penalty), but that allowed Stefano Pioli's side to remain within striking distance.

AC Milan lead by two goals at half-time, with Liverpool having completely shut down and allowing the Serie A heavyweights to claw their way back into the game.

Ante Rebic scored Milan's first goal, firing low and hard past goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who couldn't get down in time to prevent the ball landing in the back of the net.
