All Milan deludes itself, then Liverpool overwhelms it. Maignan goes knockout

Milan è was defeated 3-1 by Liverpool on its Champions League debut at San Siro: after Pulisic’s flash goal, the Reds overturned the result thanks to goals by Konaté, Van Dijk and Szoboszlai. For coach Paulo Fonseca è there also came the Mike Maignan injury headache: the goalkeeper is likely to miss the derby against Inter, and young Lorenzo Torriani could take his place.

The start of the match è that of magical evenings: Pulisic triggered by Morata makes a 40-meter sprint taking advantage of a chasm in the English defense and beats Alisson. The Reds enter the game as the minutes go by, the first ringing è by Salah who hits the crossbar on 17'.

On 23' comes the equalizer: Maignan, not at his best due to some physical problems, comes out wrong on an Alexander-Arnold free kick and Konaté takes advantage by framing the 1-1. The Devil goes into trouble and Salaha hits another crossbar, a prelude to the goal that arrives in the final half on another spot kick: at 41'on the development of a corner Van Dijk header freed doubles and puts the guests ahead.

In the second half, Liverpool continued to play the game and create chances, while Fonseca had to deal with the injury to Maignan, who was forced to leave for Torriani. Milan tried to react to get to the equalizer, but the sharpest chances were for the English, who at 67' found the tris with Szboszlai: Gakpo skipped past Pavlovic and served the Hungarian for the goal that effectively closed the game. The Rossoneri after 3-1 generously try to reopen the match but do not have the strength, despite a mistake by Alisson at 72' Abraham wastes. In the end of the match a flick by Theo Hernandez è the last fire for Milan, forced to surrender to the strength of the opponents (debuts Chiesa in the recovery).
