Liverpool will face Bologna in Wednesday’s matchday two Champions League fixture at Anfield, marking another encounter with Italian opposition.
This will be Arne Slot’s first experience of European football on Merseyside, following Liverpool’s impressive comeback to defeat AC Milan 3-1 at San Siro. Meanwhile, Bologna managed to secure a respectable goalless draw against Shakhtar Donetsk in their opening match.
While Liverpool’s resilience in Champions League matches against AC Milan is well-known, they did not need to replicate their dramatic Istanbul comeback to secure victory against their 2005 and 2007 final rivals on September 17, despite Christian Pulisic scoring early in the match.
