A classic Champions League fixture returns as Liverpool prepares to take on AC Milan on Tuesday. The two European giants have met only four times before, most famously in the 2005 “Miracle of Istanbul” and the 2007 final, where Milan triumphed 2-1. Liverpool’s last encounters with Milan came during the 2021 group stage, where the Reds won both matches.
Milan’s current squad, featuring several ex-Chelsea players such as Fikayo Tomori, Christian Pulisic, and Tammy Abraham, pales in comparison to their legendary teams of the 2000s, which included stars like Paolo Maldini, Andrea Pirlo, and Kaka.
On the other hand, Federico Chiesa is expected to make his debut for Liverpool, adding excitement to the matchup.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s upcoming Champions League game will see manager Carlo Ancelotti juggling his lineup.
With Jude Bellingham returning and Kylian Mbappé finding his form alongside Vinícius Júnior, the team faces Stuttgart, hoping to continue their strong start to the season. Bellingham might be deployed in a deeper role, while Luka Modrić, still going strong at 39, will anchor the midfield as Madrid looks to build momentum in Europe.
In managerial news, Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta is another key figure to watch. After a mixed European campaign last season, Arteta’s Gunners will aim for a statement win against Atalanta, the reigning Europa League champions.
Arsenal’s record in tough away matches has been less than stellar, with defeats at Villarreal, PSV, and Bayern Munich weighing on Arteta’s European credentials.
Lastly, Atlético Madrid’s Conor Gallagher is thriving under Diego Simeone. Gallagher, who left Chelsea for Atlético, impressed with a man-of-the-match performance and a goal against Valencia, setting the stage for their Champions League opener against RB Leipzig. Simeone praised Gallagher’s enthusiasm, highlighting how well the English midfielder has fit into Atlético’s system. Meanwhile, Chelsea players left behind will have to wait for their Europa Conference League debut in two weeks.
