Liverpool's supporters belted out Arne Slot's name from high up in the San Siro away end as the Reds took on Inter Milan in the Champions League. In the home end, there seemed to be some trolling on show, as an Inter fan held up an Egpyt flag which carried the words: 'Mo Salah – the Egyptian king.' Salah's absence from the squad contributed to Slot's decision to play Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak together in a front two against Inter.

For them, the only other time they played together was against Frankfurt. It's normal that they need to find a certain connection – the more they play together, the more that will happen." Slot's decision to omit Salah was vindicated as Liverpool won 1-0 courtesy of a late Dominik Szoboszlai penalty, which was scored after Florian Wirtz had his shirt pulled in the box.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.
