Liverpool faced Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League at the San Siro in Milan. It was pure dominance from Liverpool in the first half. Liverpool started the match with both Hugo Ekitike and Isak in the attacking lineup.
In the 11th minute, Inter made their first substitution due to an injury: Hakan Çalhanoğlu went off and Piotr Zieliński came on. In the 13th minute, Inter forward Lautaro Martínez received the first yellow card of the match. In the 31st minute, Konaté scored for Liverpool, but the goal was ruled out for handball after a VAR check.
Liverpool made their changes in the 68th minute, with Wirtz coming on for Isak and Bradley replacing Gomez. In the 87th minute, Alessandro Bastoni pulled Wirtz’s shirt inside the box, and after a VAR review, the referee decided to award a penalty against the home side. Dominik Szoboszlai made full use of the opportunity and scored in the 90th minute.
Arne Slot will be pleased with the team’s performance, especially at a time when he has been facing criticism over Liverpool’s recent form in the league. During the pre-match press conference, the media questioned him about his relationship with Mohamed Salah, but he chose not to respond directly.
His only comment was a brief line:
“Better to ask this question to Mo Salah.”
Despite the noise surrounding the team and the manager, Liverpool’s dramatic 1–0 victory over Inter Milan has given both the fans and Arne Slot a much-needed boost.
