Liverpool has been on fire since the beginning of the Champions League, and they cemented their domination during their latest match against AC Milan. The Reds secured a 2-1 win against the Italians, becoming the first English team to win all six games in their group. Milan desperately needed a win for a chance to make the last 16, and it seemed they could make it happen in the first half. Fikayo Tomori’s goal was a ray of hope that his team needed, but their celebration was short-lived because Liverpool quickly made a comeback. Mohamed Salah’s scored an equalizer a few minutes later and managed to become the first Liverpool player to reach 20 goals in five successive seasons since Ian Rush. Liverpool’s domination continued in the second half, as Divock Origi ended up scoring a winning goal ten minutes after the break. Liverpool’s manager Jurgen Klopp said that he couldn’t be prouder of his players following their history-making performance, adding they were "absolutely outstanding". "It's an exceptional performance... with that many changes, the boys have to be confident enough to show how good they are. I saw so many good things tonight it was unbelievable," said Klopp after the match.
