He was magnificent and [Alexis] Mac Allister was also very good. ‘I liked the way Liverpool played and how Arne Slot stopped Inter from playing, his tactics were on point. ‘Isak, you can see he’s still not at the races in terms of playing a whole game, but that was a proper Liverpool performance. ‘That is how you play away from home and stop your opponent from playing, I didn’t know they had it in their locker. ‘Regardless of the controversial penalty, that would have been a reassuring performance for Liverpool fans to watch.’ Isak started the match before being subbed off with around 25 minutes remaining and replaced by Wirtz, who won Liverpool’s penalty.

But overall, a good performance from us.’ Slot’s Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk added: ‘It’s a good feeling of winning. That’s what Liverpool stands for.’ On Salah’s uncertain future at the club, Van Dijk said: ‘It’s difficult but it’s a collective difficult situation that we’re all in. ‘Between Mo and the club, things are going on and he’s not here today, that’s the reality.
