Liverpool made history once more with their sixth and final win in the Champions League group stage, with Reds rightly revelling in the achievement and depth at Jurgen Klopp‘s disposal.
AC Milan 1-2 Liverpool
Champions League Group Stage (6), San Siro
December 7, 2021
Goals: Tomori 29′; Salah 36′, Origi 55′
With the game a dead rubber for Liverpool and one coming off the back of an intense week, Jurgen Klopp made eight changes for a rare trip to San Siro.
And despite the early dominance, it was Milan who struck first off a poorly defended corner before Mohamed Salah added to his supreme tally with a nonchalant finish.
It was as good as it got for the hosts as while it was a must-win for them, Divock Origi was the one delivering the decisive blow with a well-directed header thanks to Sadio Mane’s pressure.
Safely seeing out the game with two European debuts, Liverpool became the first-ever English side to win all six group games.
And with the pressure off, Liverpool fans were able to simply enjoy the occasion and here’s the best of the reaction of the night…with some humorous takes in the mix!
There was plenty to revel in on the night…
The reds finishing a game at the San Siro with a front 3 of Minamino, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Neco Williams ? Liverpool, Liverpool, take the piss ?????

Ibrahima Konate has bullied Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic this season. Might start calling him the Legend Killer.

And that included winning ALL 6 group games…

6/6 The first English side to ever win all 6 Champions League group matches. This team keeps setting new benchmarks. Incredible to beat AC Milan at the San Siro with 8 changes. Great experience for the young lads

What a team, what a squad. Six games six wins in the Champions League group stages, in a group filled with big names, even rounding off the run with an outing for some of the kids. 18 points, everyone else on negative goal difference. #LFC pic.twitter.com/ssCJXcIVyX

11 points clear of 2nd place. Not in a domestic league, in a Champions League group. Incredible.

Leading to plenty of praise for the Reds…

Sod Salah, give Divock the £300,000-a-week contract.
— Sachin Nakrani (@SachinNakrani) December 7, 2021
Divock’s fourth Champions League goal, the first earlier than a semi-final second leg.

Oxlade-Chamberlain so good at committing defenders. Drives forward, takes on his man and always looks to make things happen in the final third.
— Leanne Prescott (@_lfcleanne) December 7, 2021
That’s a great example of what Chamberlain offers, don’t think any of the other midfielders are doing what he does there.

Brilliant win for Liverpool with lots of good performances tonight. Take a bow Tyler Morton! Not bad for a team with no squad depth…..? #MILLIV
— Jamie Holme (@JamieHolme) December 7, 2021
Ibrahima Konate impressive for #lfc tonight. Some good interceptions, powerful and assertive. And only 22. #MILLIV

And how about those 2 late European debutants…

Joined by his mates Max Woltman and Conor Bradley too. A lovely place to make your senior debut for the former!

What a moment for young Max Woltman and Conor Bradley. Taking their CL bows for #LFC in the San Siro
