AC Milan are back where they belong in the UEFA Champions League.   AC Milan battled but failing to win the Champions League Group Stage Group B Matchday 1 game against Liverpool on Wednesday 15 September 2021 at Anfield Road in Liverpool, England.   For the very first time in a competitive match, AC Milan will take to the pitch at Anfield Road.  Despite the defeat, we might say that Milan got already a taste of what is needed to claim their domain in Champions.
