AC Milan face Liverpool in a Champions League group stage match. The Rossoneri's victory against Atletico Madrid two weeks ago made the situation in Group B extremely interesting. Liverpool are currently unreachable in the first position with a total of 15 points, but the fight for the second position is fierce. Atletico Madrid has five points, Milan has four points, as does Porto, so everything will be decided on Tuesday night.

Certainly not only the Milan supporters, but also all those involved with the club regret the missed opportunities in the early stages of the group stage. In the first two games against Liverpool and Atletico Madrid, Milan could have added four points to their assets, but made too many mistakes. Earning just one point in both games against Porto is also of little use, leading to a mandatory victory against Merseyside on Tuesday. However, this is a very serious challenge.

In all probability, Jurgen Klopp will bet on a team similar to the one from the match with Porto two weeks ago. It included young players and those who got less chances to play regularly, but also leaders such as Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah, Thiago Alcantara and of course Alison. Even without all their stars in the starting lineup, Liverpool is a very dangerous team and I am very surprised by the high odds that bookmakers give for a victory.

Over the weekend, Liverpool won a difficult game against Wolverhampton in a Premier League, with the only goal scored by Divok Origi at the end of the match. The Belgian may start on Tuesday and will certainly do his best to show that he is in good shape and could be an equivalent alternative to Diogo Jota, who did not perform well against the Wolves.

Milan have two faces this season, especially in their defensive performance. It is not uncommon for the Rossoneri to concede two or more goals, and against a quality opponent like Liverpool, this will be fatal. At the weekend, Milan beat Salernitana 2:0 after a strong first half, but this was their first win as a host in all tournaments since November 3. The Rossoneri did not win at their San Siro against Porto and Atletico Madrid and are very likely not to do so against Liverpool's reserves, even if it costs them a place in the next round.
