Max 89.7 FM will run live commentary on the UEFA Champions League (UCL) clash between Liverpool and AC Milan at Anfield.
Build up of the UCL game starts at 6:00 pm and the game kicks off at 7:00 PM.
First up in Liverpool’s customarily difficult group is AC Milan, one of the game’s other genuine giants, and one that the Reds have, incredibly, only faced twice in official competition, with both sides winning a European Cup final against the other, in 2005 and 2007.
The rossoneri partake in Group B following a second place finish in last year’s Serie A, 12 points behind local rivals and title winners Inter. Most fans who watched the Italian league last year would agree that constituted somewhat of an overperformance relative to their play on a weekly basis, but despite a few years in the wilderness, Milan remain a talented side, and although they lost Gianluigi Donnarumma and Hakan Çalhanoğlu on free transfers this summer, they’ve done a good job bringing in replacements, adding Mike Maignan and Sandro Tonali to their numbers.
Stefano Pioli’s men currently sit second in Serie A, having started the season with three straight wins, and although last season’s star performer Zlatan Ibrahimovic won’t be travelling with the squad courtesy of an injury, top scorers Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leão should be good to go.
