Liverpool get their 2024/25 UEFA Champions League campaign up and running with an eye-catching trip to AC Milan on September 17.
The Reds have enjoyed a strong start under Arne Slot, despite seeing their unbeaten opening to the Premier League season ended by a weekend loss to Nottingham Forest, and a clash at the San Siro will be a major test.
The two clubs are part of the 'European royalty' block with Liverpool winning six UEFA European Cup/Champions League titles and AC Milan on seven.
