- 31' The referee calls foul for Youssouf Fofana. He receives a card.
- 36' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 67' What a strike from Dominik Szoboszlai! The score is 1-3.
- 68' Darwin Nunez gets the nod from Liverpool FC. He replaces Diogo Jota and will look to change the dynamic.
- 69' AC Milan ring the changes. Ruben Loftus-Cheek has done his job and it is now time for Tammy Abraham to step up.

- 84' Noah Okafor is replacing Alvaro Morata for the AC Milan side.
