Liverpool revived their Champions League hopes with a 1-0 win over Inter Milan at the San Siro on Tuesday, despite the absence of star forward Mohamed Salah.
Dominik Szoboszlai converted a late penalty to secure the victory, giving the Reds a much-needed boost after a weekend controversy involving Salah. The Egypt international had stayed behind in England after publicly criticising Liverpool manager Arne Slot, leaving him out of the squad for the crucial clash.
The win keeps Liverpool on track in their group, easing pressure on the team after the earlier fallout with Salah. Manager Slot praised the squad for their focus and determination in overcoming the challenge without their leading scorer.
Liverpool will now look to maintain momentum in their remaining group fixtures as they aim to qualify for the knockout stage of the competition.
