What better than a vintage match between AC Milan and Liverpool to kick off this new Champions League formula? This clash between two of the competition’s greatest winners will bring back some glorious memories, including that exceptional final that saw the Reds overturn the Rossoneri in 2005 in Istanbul on a spring evening, for what remains the greatest final in history.
Much water has flowed under the bridge since then, and if Liverpool had not qualified in Champions League Last season, the Mersey club made its big comeback for the first year of the post-Klopp era. And it is the British who will approach this great classic as favourites. Opposite, Paulo Fonseca’s Milan has not yet found its cruising speed.
