Gary Lineker makes James Milner admission as Lionel Messi changes his mind about Liverpool

Here is your Liverpool morning digest for Wednesday, November 24.

Lineker admits he apologised to Milner

Gary Lineker has admitted he was wrong about Liverpool midfielder James Milner.

The 35-year-old has played in the Premier League for 19 years and has made 180 league appearances for Liverpool so far, since joining the club in 2015.

However, despite his longevity in the top-flight, Match of the Day presenter Lineker has conceded that he had misjudged Milner in the past.

It appears that the former England striker was not a fan of the midfielder in his debut season at Anfield.

Messi changes his mind about Liverpool and the Champions League

Lionel Messi has tipped Liverpool to be one of the leading contenders for the Champions League, having “returned” to top form.

Jurgen Klopp’s side have already secured qualification to the knockout stages, ahead of Wednesday’s clash with Porto, after earning maximum points from their first four group games.

Liverpool have scored 13 goals in the process of overcoming a tough group, involving AC Milan, Atletico Madrid, and Porto.

Their clinical nature in front of goal, combined with the Reds’ impressive league form, has caught the attention of Lionel Messi , who insists Liverpool are back to their best.
