This just shows how well they can cope when Salah is not in the team, and with the Reds squad even stronger and stacked with options now, it will only be much easier.Liverpool already looked better against Inter Milan How did you rate the players during Liverpool’s HUGE victory against Inter Milan? 🤩 👇 Join the debate; share your insight.
