We’ve got a Champions League clash to get the nostalgia flowing like few others on our hands tonight as Liverpool welcome AC Milan to Anfield.
The two sides, of course, met in perhaps the most famous game in the competition’s history in the 2005 final, when Liverpool came from 3-0 down at half-time in Istanbul to complete an incredible comeback on penalties, before Milan gained revenge with a 2-1 victory in the final two years later.
Between them, the two sides have won the European Cup 13 times, their tallies second and third only to Real Madrid, but this will be Milan’s first group stage campaign since the 2013/14 season after a fallow period for the Rossoneri.
Liverpool, of course, have more recent pedigree, winning the tournament for a sixth time in 2019, having been beaten in the final 12 months earlier, but they had to watch on with envy last season as Premier League rivals Manchester City and Chelsea fought out an all-English final.
