Liverpool marked their Champions League return with a dramatic 3-1 comeback win against AC Milan at San Siro 🏟️! Despite an early shock from Christian Pulisic’s opener for Milan, the Reds flipped the script with goals from center-backs Ibrahima Konaté and Virgil van Dijk, plus Dominik Szoboszlai’s clincher. Talk about birthday goals for manager Arne Slot! 🎂
🎙️ 'You wouldn’t have said this after five minutes, but we did well,' laughed Slot, celebrating his 46th with 4,400 traveling fans chanting his name. Van Dijk praised the team’s composure: 'We stayed calm and found solutions — that’s what matters.' 💪
Milan’s early lead via Pulisic’s lightning counterattack 💨 faded fast as Konaté’s towering header (his first goal in 2.5 years!) leveled the score. Van Dijk’s bullet header before halftime ⏱️ and Szoboszlai’s slick finish sealed the deal. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich unleashed chaos with a 9-2 demolition of Dynamo Kyiv! 🤯
