Milan Champions League opponents Liverpool suffer shock defeat | OneFootball

Milan will face Liverpool in the Champions League on Tuesday and received a boost with news Arne Slot suffered his first defeat on the Reds bench.

The European showdown is at San Siro on Tuesday at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).

Here is how you can buy tickets for Milan vs. Liverpool in the Champions League.

It has been a dismal start to the season for the Rossoneri under coach Paulo Fonseca, managing only a pair of comeback 2-2 draws with Torino and Lazio around the defeat to newly-promoted Parma.

However, their rivals were stunned today too, because Liverpool suffered a shock 1-0 home defeat in the Premier League to Nottingham Forest this afternoon.

Liverpool upset can inspire Milan

It was wholly unexpected off the back of three consecutive victories, all keeping clean sheets, against Ipswich Town, Brentford and Manchester United.

A late goal from Callum Hudson-Odoi proved decisive in surprising ex-Roma goalkeeper Alisson Becker, giving Nottingham Forest their first victory at Anfield since February 1969.

The promising signs for Milan were in the lack of bite upfront, where Liverpool struggled to create genuine chances.

Their moves tended to break down before reaching the opposition half and a move to three at the back in the later stages also proved fruitless.

Despite dominating possession at 70 per cent, the xG for Liverpool was only 0.87.

Federico Chiesa was again not even in the squad and it remains to be seen if he can get his debut against Milan next week.
