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. The last time AC Milan have lost the first match of a Group Stage was in September 1996 against Porto 2-3 in Champions League. Keep up the good work Milan. Milan stand in Group B Last Place.
- Stats before the game. Liverpool and AC Milan have only met on two occasions in European competitions, with both matches being Champions League finals. The Reds won on penalties in 2005. AC Milan revenge with a 2-1 victory in Athens in 2007. AC Milan’s last victory against an English team was in February 2012, when they beat Arsenal 4-0 in the Champions League.
It’s a glorious day for @acmilan returning in @ChampionsLeague https://t.co/Jf2Rvt8p6T
