00:00THE CHAMPIONS!
00:30No stranger to success at San Siro.
01:00Milan scored four times in the first half hour here on Saturday,
01:04but I don't quite know how to say it, they weren't altogether convincing.
01:08Here's...
01:10Pulisic! Oh, what a start!
01:14And look who it is!
01:16Christian Pulisic!
01:18With less than three minutes on the clock.
01:22Slams Milan into the lead.
01:25It's his birthday tomorrow.
01:28He's celebrating already!
01:30What a fabulous finish.
01:32A season for Milan, one for the States a week ago.
01:36He started the season as he started last.
01:39The main man for America does it for Milan.
01:42And it's a breakaway.
01:44Just batters it home.
01:46It's a wonderful finish from Pulisic.
01:49He just opened up for him.
01:51A wonderful ball from Mike Mignol.
01:54All the way from the back, three passes later,
01:56he's looking for options.
01:58I'll tell you what, I'll just give it a go myself.
02:01And boy, does he.
02:03Dream start for Milan.
02:04Against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
02:07Heavily condensed centre of the pitch.
02:10Blocking out the talents of Sobhuslai in the midfield.
02:18Gravenberg, quickly on by Schotter.
02:20Here's Mohamed Salah!
02:23So very close.
02:25That's for Gakpo.
02:26Sinicaz!
02:27Salah rattling the crossbar, just onside.
02:30He's just swung a leg at it, on his weaker foot.
02:33He said, I'll have a go.
02:35It wasn't the control that Pulisic had, but it had the power.
02:40Mignol was beaten.
02:42That's part of playing over the ball, if you're Mike Mignol.
02:51It's a header by Kanate!
02:53And Liverpool are level.
02:55Mignol came, didn't get there.
02:58And Ibrahima Kanate was first to the punch.
03:03Well, it's a mistake from the goalkeeper, it's a mistake to come.
03:06It may be close to the goal, but you just can't get there.
03:09His eyes have lit up, because it's a floated ball, it's not whipped.
03:13He doesn't know about the height, the strength, the power of Kanate.
03:17Gets up the highest, gets up the strongest.
03:20And once you vacate that line, you've got to make it.
03:23You're leaving the goal open.
03:25Gets there too late, gets there too slow.
03:27Thank you very much for that, man.
03:29Liverpool back on terms.
03:34Kanate's last goal for Liverpool.
03:37I'll tell you what, get through till half-time.
03:41That's a gift from Pulisic.
03:44And here's an opportunity for Jota.
03:47One that he really should have taken.
03:49McAllister, Tidymar, Christian Pulisic.
03:52It was a confident start by Mbale, but that confidence has been severely shaken now.
03:57Liverpool have their tails up.
04:00Alexander-Arnold, here's Salah.
04:08McAllister, Gakpo.
04:12One past two.
04:14Turned away by Manuel, it's Mohamed Salah.
04:16He's hit the crossbar again.
04:19Twice tonight.
04:20This time it was a better strike, but it's just too easy for Gakpo to get down there.
04:23Mike Mignon does relatively well.
04:29Liverpool have got a grip on the game now.
04:32Sine Kester, Gakpo.
04:34Deflected on its way through to Mignon.
04:36Well gathered.
04:40Lost 3-0 in the return.
04:42Lay-up.
04:43Down.
04:47Wasn't the best of passes.
04:48It was perilous.
04:49Gakpo cut it out.
04:51Jota can take it on.
04:53He's got Salah up with him.
04:55Jota has fouled Mohamed Salah.
04:58Salah!
05:00Mignon did well to get down.
05:01Quarter-kick.
05:08Sine Kester with the left foot.
05:10Swung in under the crossbar again.
05:12This time Van Dijk heads in.
05:14Mignon never moved.
05:16He's far from fully fit.
05:18One centre-back equalised.
05:21Another centre-back gives Liverpool the lead.
05:24And both of the goals...
05:25Two set-pieces.
05:27Two goals and two simple.
05:30It's two for Liverpool.
05:32Just steps off Reinders.
05:34Pavlovic has no idea that he's there.
05:38He stepped away from you, man.
05:39Reinders, your job is to mark him.
05:42You've lost him.
05:44Pavlovic doesn't know he's there.
05:46And it's all too late.
05:47It's all too simple.
05:49For all the good play.
05:50For all the good start.
05:52They've been undone by the time the half-time arrives.
05:55It's a complete turnaround.
05:59There's a back-heel assist for the first goal here on Saturday.
06:02It was sparkling.
06:04An instant equaliser after he'd been benched at Lazio.
06:07That's lay-out.
06:10Savaslai.
06:13Alexander-Arnold.
06:21It's a terrific pass into Gakpo.
06:23He got the control he deserved.
06:24Cody Gakpo!
06:26It's a pretty good start for that.
06:28Bayern Munich struggling to get back to his feet.
06:30But it was a good save.
06:34And there is that whistle.
06:36Well, they couldn't have made a better start.
06:38Christian Pulisic gave them a lead inside three minutes.
06:42After a racing opening from the home team.
06:46The Liverpool steady is like no other.
06:49Gakpo.
06:50He's done well again.
06:51Savaslai has not done well again.
06:54Alexander-Arnold, though.
06:56And here's Cody Gakpo.
06:57And he might come for Schotter.
06:59Manon did very, very well with some help from Tomori.
07:02But that looks like the end of Mike Manion's night.
07:07Savaslai.
07:13Savaslai can't reach that.
07:14It'll fall for him, though.
07:17Again, not on his favoured foot.
07:18But a comfortable save for Torriani.
07:21A nice field for Torriani.
07:23But looking at Morata here.
07:25It's not his strong point.
07:27Because he's not a hold-up striker.
07:30He's not a big man.
07:31He's not going to compete with Virgil van Dijk.
07:33I'm just wondering how long before they bring on Tammy Abraham.
07:38More size.
07:40More presence.
07:41Something more for Canarte and van Dijk to think about.
07:54Gravenbeek.
08:04Calister.
08:08Simicas.
08:10Gakpo.
08:17Calister.
08:18That's clever.
08:19Savaslai.
08:21He's trying to lift it over the young keeper.
08:23Instead it's Simicas.
08:26Koke.
08:27Simicas.
08:29Koke.
08:35It's a clever run.
08:36Savaslai.
08:37Tamariya with his back turn.
08:38He doesn't know where he is.
08:40Good goalkeeper.
08:41Just to stand and wait and be beaten.
08:43Get close as you can.
08:46Simicas has had more shots than anyone tonight.
08:48Not scored for Liverpool yet.
08:50This is his 90th appearance.
08:53I say he's not scored.
08:55Back to Gravenbeek though and Savaslai.
08:58And now Gakpo with Salah up with him.
09:01Four against three here in Liverpool's favour.
09:03Cody Gakpo.
09:04Savaslai.
09:06And Liverpool lead by three goals to one.
09:10They are one of the most ruthless counter-attacking teams in Europe.
09:16And you lose the ball to them in the wrong areas.
09:19They score.
09:21Therein lies the weakness of Milan.
09:24And the strength of Liverpool.
09:25And it's Gakpo.
09:26He's been brilliant all night.
09:28Charging down the left.
09:30And he puts it on a plate.
09:32Received a pass from Savaslai.
09:34Returns the favour.
09:35He's off the shin.
09:36He doesn't care.
09:37He's breathing space for Liverpool.
09:40I have to say.
09:43One way or another a goal was coming.
09:50And here's Pulisic.
09:51Pulisic.
09:53Liverpool have been careless in the last 15 minutes or so.
09:59It's come for Reinders to hit.
10:01And that was blocked by a mixture of Kanata and Van Dijk.
10:04And Hernandez!
10:10This season.
10:11He's sick of the sight of Pavlovic and Tamori chasing back in that manner.
10:15Trying to block out crosses and failing to do so.
10:22Here is Pulisic.
10:26Emerson.
10:28Van Dijk did just about enough.
10:30And Gomez.
10:32Improvised.
10:33It's a corner.
10:39Hernandez.
10:40Unmarked.
10:41And the header is over.
10:52Taken by Pulisic.
10:55It's Gabier again.
10:57More up than out by Gomez.
11:00Gabier's there once more.
11:02So too is Kanata.
11:06Simic has got the vital touch in the end.
11:09Endo helps it forward.
11:10Chiesa's interested.
11:12Emerson did pretty well.
11:13Savaslai seizes it on the ball.
11:16This is Luis Diaz.
11:21It's a good recovery.
11:27Fofana.
11:33Sorted out by Gravenbeck.
11:34Not for the first time.
11:37Fofana.
11:39Endo makes the challenge this time.
11:41Here's Chiesa.
11:44Onto Savaslai.
11:47Counted by Pavlovic.
11:49Rijnders.
11:50Liao inside.
11:52Gomez.
11:53It's Rafael Liao!
11:55Smacks against the post.
11:56I think Alisson Maia got a touch.
11:58Could be a very good save there.
12:00It's a fantastic save.
12:03Sharp at the end of the game.
12:07Well that's the closest Milan have come since that opening goal from Christian Pulisic.
12:13His team hit the woodwork twice in the first half.
12:18And that's it for now.
12:19Thanks for watching.
12:20See you next time.
12:21Bye.
