Liverpool made a strong comeback to secure a 2-1 victory against AC Milan at the San Siro. After a challenging start, the Reds turned the game around with goals from Ibrahima Konate and Dominik Szoboszlai.
Here’s how each Liverpool player rated in a dramatic night in Milan:
GK: Alisson – 6/10
Largely untested and unable to prevent Milan’s early strike. Some shaky passing gave Milan a few opportunities.
RB: Trent Alexander-Arnold – 8/10
Delivered a key assist for Konate’s goal and managed to handle Leao effectively. His playmaking was instrumental in breaking down Milan’s defense.
CB: Ibrahima Konate – 7/10
Failed to close down Pulisic quickly enough for Milan’s goal but redeemed himself with a header that equalized the score. Grew into the game after a shaky start.
CB: Virgil van Dijk – 8/10
Scored a crucial header to put Liverpool ahead and was dominant in aerial duels with Morata and Abraham. Solid and commanding throughout.
LB: Kostas Tsimikas – 6/10
Caught out for Milan’s opener but provided the accurate corner that led to Van Dijk’s goal. Mixed performance overall.
DM: Alexis Mac Allister – 8/10
Excelled in breaking up play and setting the tempo. Showed composure under pressure and nearly assisted with a brilliant through ball.
DM: Ryan Gravenberch – 7/10
Liverpool initially lacked protection in midfield, but Gravenberch’s influence grew as the game progressed. Elegant in possession and distribution.
RW: Mohamed Salah – 7/10
Unlucky not to score after hitting the woodwork twice. Remained a constant threat and was dangerous down the right flank.
