Liverpool was already in the Champions League knockout phase by winning the first five group games. Of course, one-sixth was a welcome bonus, but if Milan had finished this run, he wouldn’t lose his sleep.
For Milan, their presence in Europe this season relied on what happened at San Siro, but even their concrete goals, despite eight changes, their name in European history. It wasn’t enough to stop this insatiable Liverpool side, rewriting it into perfect symmetry, Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi defeated Tottenham in 2019 to win their sixth European title.
He scored at San Siro when Liverpool became the first British team to win all six group games. Of course, nothing matters unless Liverpool gets its seventh European title in May. But the sensational start of the season raises an important question: who would, if not Liverpool?
It wasn’t a happy trip to Germany for Manchester City. Initially, they were beaten by RB Leipzig at the age of 21. RB Leipzig hasn’t had a coach since Jesse Marsch left on the weekend.However, they also set an undesired record of not playing in any group games this season. Overall, they haven’t scored goals in 10 of the last 11 Champions League games.
On Tuesday Pep Guardiola changed three of the four on his back. John Stones and Nathan Aké were at the center of the defense, Oleksandr Zinchenko also appeared, and Kyle Walker took his place. Only the Ukrainians were unharmed, Stones blamed the second goal, Walker was sent off, and Ake seemed to have a back injury.
Jack Stephen also replaced Ederson with a goal.
Citi actually owes him to prevent RB Leipzig from escaping in the first half of the game. He made many great saves, including a breathtaking short-range stop to defeat Silva.Of course, as the group campaign progresses, others will be in the limelight. Manchester has scored more than two goals in three different group stage games for the first time since the 2014/15 season.
Stoic Guardiola said, “February is February,” without being bothered by the lack of goals at a post-match press conference.And he is right. At about the same time last year, some questioned the shape of the city and canceled it for the title run. They won the Premier League, advanced to the Champions League finals, and broke the record of consecutive victories by the top British team (21) and the club record of 28 undefeated games in all tournaments. The
Premier League has also held a joint league that has scored eight goals in 15 games so far. You would expect them to rise at the end of the season.So far, the lack of clean leaves in Europe is not a landmark for Guardiola’s radar. But he’s aiming for the Champions League final this time, so there’s no doubt that he’ll be at the bottom of his heart six weeks later.
