The Liverpool fans in attendance made it clear whose side they were on as they serenaded the team's incumbent head coach. 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.



Explaining his team selection, Slot said: "The thinking is in this moment of time I have 13 players or so. "It's only the second time they [Ekitike and Isak] have started together.

It's not the first time we played the system (two up front). For them, the only other time they played together was against Frankfurt.
