The Rossoneri lose 4-1 but claimed a bonus point in the shootout · Referee: Omar Al Ali (UAE). · Goals: 5' Salah (L), 29' Saelemaekers (M), 41' Thiago (L), 82' e ...
The Reds still looked like the more likely side to score, however, and came close with a Matip header in the 61st minute. Núñez bagged a quickfire brace, scoring in the 82nd and 87th minutes. Doak also hit the post in between the two goals. Thiago received the ball at the edge of the box and rifled it in to restore the Reds’ advantage. El Halili came close to bringing the Rossoneri level for a second time but he was denied by the crossbar (70’). Much like the previous one, today’s game saw the tempo drop in the second half. Lazetić and Firmino both had opportunities before the half came to a close, but to no avail. Then, they’ll return to Milan as the season gets closer to resuming. During this evening’s friendly, the English side were livelier and more clinical, with Núñez bagging a second-half brace after Salah and Thiago’s goals in the opening period. A minute’s silence was held before the game and AC Milan played with black armbands on in honour of the memory of Siniša Mihajlović. In the 41st minute, disaster again. During the shootout, Mirante took centre stage as the Rossoneri came out on top.
Liverpool opened with their (probably) more senior line-up, with Caoimhín Kelleher, Joël Matip, Joe Gomez, Andy Robertson, James Milner, Harvey Elliott, Thiago, ...
It’s always nice to watch the Reds without peril, and each of the Liverpool goals was a different type of brilliance — particularly the first three. I’m gonna be honest: I did not realize there was going to be a shootout until the commentators said so midway through the second half. The Uruguayan scored with a sharp, low finish, and all was calm again. The Spaniard made a difficult return ball from a corner look remarkably routine. Robertson would prefer you didn’t have a look at AC Milan’s goal, which did not cover him in glory — his attempt to head the long ball might well have stopped him from recovering well. Liverpool opened with their (probably) more senior line-up, with Caoimhín Kelleher, Joël Matip, Joe Gomez, Andy Robertson, James Milner, Harvey Elliott, Thiago, Mohamed Salah, and Roberto Firmino on the pitch — all of whom would not be a surprise on a starting line-up in a regular season game.

The step-up in intensity will be a welcome one for Klopp, as his side face Manchester City in the Carabao Cup in just six days time, before returning to Premier League action on Boxing Day against Aston Villa. Liverpool have been able to benefit from his omission, with Thiago having spent the World Cup break with his club team-mates in Dubai. Salah and Roberto Firmino combined effectively in attacking areas, with the former a threat throughout his time on the pitch. Despite largely dominating possession, a defensive lapse allowed Alexis Salemaekers to level for Milan in the first half against the run of play. Matip played a key role in Liverpool’s opening goal against AC Milan with a trademark driving run forward, before finding Mo Salah in the box. The 23-year-old had admitted his heartbreak at Uruguay's World Cup exit, having been ineffective throughout the group stage.

Liverpool saw plenty more positive signs as they beat AC Milan 4-1 in their second and final friendly game in Dubai, with Mohamed Salah, Thiago Alcântara ...
He was laid in by Clark with a superb pass and finished nicely, getting himself a goal that will do no harm. Thiago was against the Ligue 1 side and perhaps that would have been seen more then had Elliott not been injured in the first half, but it was certainly clear to see here. Neither stuck to the touchline as they made attacking movements with Elliott, in particular, able to take that role when Salah moved inside. Bobby Clark came on later and produced a stunning assist to seal the victory and Ben Doak hit the post and then set up a second for Núñez late on. They did that here but have not always done so far this season.
