Overview
- Liverpool won 1-0 through an 88th‑minute penalty converted by Dominik Szoboszlai after VAR judged Alessandro Bastoni to have held Florian Wirtz, a decision Inter contested.
- Inter lost Hakan Çalhanoğlu and Francesco Acerbi to first‑half muscle problems, while Manuel Akanji recovered to start in defense.
- The result leaves Inter and Liverpool level on 12 points in the league‑phase table, complicating Inter’s push to avoid February playoffs.
- Mohamed Salah was not included in Liverpool’s squad for Milan, with Italian outlets reporting he trained alone following a dispute with coach Arne Slot.
- Italian fortunes were mixed elsewhere as Atalanta came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1, while Juventus prepare for Pafos with Bremer and Rugani back in training and Jonathan David favored to start up front.
