On a Tuesday night that saw Liverpool’s Arne Slot and AC Milan’s Paulo Fonseca each take the managerial reins in a Champions League (CL) game with their new teams for the first time, their experiences could not have been more different.
Slot guided Liverpool to a resounding 3-1 victory over Fonseca’s Milan at San Siro, as his team remained calm after a shaky start, storming back after conceding a goal in the opening three minutes.
“To come back so strong and dominant, it was a deserved victory,” said Slot, who replaced retired manager Juergen Klopp at the Merseyside club. “This is an evening I will remember in the future. Hopefully many more times like this will come as Liverpool manager.”
