Liverpool put an end to mounting criticisms with a crucial Champions League victory at the San Siro, overcoming Inter Milan thanks to a late penalty from Dominik Szoboszlai. Nearly 1,000 miles away from the sidelined Mohamed Salah, the squad demonstrated unity, resilience, and strategic discipline that seemed absent in previous matches. The traveling supporters’ calls for Arne Slot at full-time showcased their trust in the manager after a rocky phase.
This win, Liverpool's fourth consecutive triumph at the San Siro, was particularly noteworthy as it was their first Champions League away victory without Salah since 2009. Chief executive Michael Edwards observed the match in Milan as Liverpool responded strongly to their disappointing performance against Leeds.
With only 19 fit players available, Liverpool arrived in Italy short-handed yet resolved, putting on a disciplined performance and securing a vital clean sheet. Alisson Becker’s earlier assertion about the squad's support for Slot was evident on the pitch.
Virgil van Dijk acknowledged external criticism but emphasized the need for unity, affirming the team's commitment to improving together. Andy Robertson admitted that recent performances fell short, deeming the victory essential for a club of Liverpool's stature in the Champions League.
Although Salah's absence was a hot topic post-match, Slot refrained from shifting the focus. When questioned about whether Salah should apologize or engage in discussions, Slot underscored the need for responsibility and understanding. Van Dijk chose not to elaborate, stating simply that Salah trained as usual and remains part of the squad.
The night truly belonged to Szoboszlai, who now leads the team in goal involvements this season. Slot commended his physical fitness and performance, noting that the midfielder played all four games in just ten days and confidently converted his first in-game penalty for the club.
Inter Milan had not lost in 18 consecutive European home games, but Liverpool’s composed and systematic approach shattered that streak. Slot praised the team's achievement, insisting that the focus should remain on the on-pitch players rather than external matters. He reminded fans that Liverpool has a legacy of unforgettable European nights, adding this victory to that illustrious history.
The match proved that Liverpool can advance as a cohesive unit, with or without Salah.
