That’s all for the Liveblog this evening, check the main site for more post-match coverage. We’ll see you tomorrow for Bologna-Shakhtar Donetsk and Manchester City-Inter, hopefully with better results.

Real Madrid 3-1 Stuttgart, Carlo Ancelotti starts the defence of his trophy well.

Goodness. Bayern Munich 9-2 Dinamo Zagreb.

Abraham looks furious, but he and Calabria took the whole team over to the Curva Sud, so they could get insulted. And they deserved those insults.

Losing can happen, but not like that.

UCL | Milan 1-3 Liverpool: Rossoneri fall flat after dream start

FT: Milan 1-3 Liverpool

Loud, loud jeers from the fans.

97'
Rafael Leao off the upright!

Better than nothing, but not by much, he gets down the left and smashes a strike against the near post.

96'

They’re singing it very loudly now. Helped by the guy with the megaphone leading the crowd…

95'

Torriani makes a save on Darwin Nunez at the near post.

The crowd is again very irritated more than disappointed. Milan just sort of gave up.

94'

Abraham gets cross with Endo over a challenge. The crowd is now chanting “Show some balls” to the players.

92'

Chiesa and Endo on, Salah and Mac Allister off.

That is Federico Chiesa’s Liverpool debut.

90'

Into 6 minutes of stoppages. Emerson Royal has in the last few minutes avoided a yellow card with an acrobatically poor challenge and almost given the ball away in his own penalty area.

88'

Milan force a corner, from which Theo Hernandez crosses back in and the Gabbia header is off target. Abraham frustrated because he shouted for it.

86'

Brave goalkeeping from Torriani, who comes flying out to clear from Darwin Nunez, who was offside anyway.

Pretty much everyone leaving now… They see now sign of a fightback from the Rossoneri.

85'
Milan chance

Pulisic cuts inside, shot charged down, so is the Reijnders follow-up, then Theo Hernandez scorcher flashes just wide.

84'

Okafor and Gabbia on, Morata and Tomori off.

83'

Nunez acrobatic volley off target, but Szoboszlai was offside anyway.

81'

Konate’ booked for a foul on Tammy Abraham, who has at least tried to get something going.

80'

Now you know why San Siro wasn’t sold out. Some Milan fans are already leaving.

79'

Alexander-Arnold off, Gomez on.

77'
Tomori crucial

Darwin Nunez sprints away onto a through ball, can roll across or shoot, but Tomori is just as quick and manages to make a decisive block.

76'

Milan move it around well after an Abraham run, but nobody was ready for that Morata pass.

75'

Liverpool corner, Van Dijk gets his head to it again, but over the bar.

74'

Corner comes out to Reijnders, who boots it well wide from distance.

73'

Better! Rafael Leao sprints past Konate’ down the left, pulls back from the by-line, but Gravenberch got back for the decisive block. Corner.
