About AC Milan vs Liverpool this is their first met after 2021 in Champion league and if we see based on head to head statistics in the last few years both teams has been met several times and i can see Liverpool has good records from Milan moreover we all know although both teams has new manager but Liverpool performance is much better compared to Milan because Liverpool under Arne Slot still managed their unbeated records since pre season tour and if we see from their recent performance i think Liverpool should be able to overcomes Milan
Just like i said before Liverpool strongest opponent for League phase is only Real Madrid and i know they also will facing Leverkusen but i don't think Leverkusen still very strong like last season even they just suffered a defeat in the Bundesliga so i am confident Liverpool also can beat Leverkusen and besides these teams Liverpool only will facing Leipzig, Bologna, Lille, PSV and Girona which the status of these teams is only mediocre teams
You are correct, according to H2H Liverpool has a good record against AC Milan, in their last seven meetings in all competitions, AC Milan has only won one of the games, while Liverpool has won the remaining six, so compared to the current performance of both teams, AC Milan is not in the best form, their performance has been so poor since the start of the season, they failed to win any of their last three games, drew two, and lost one. Liverpool, on the other hand, has won their previous three league games with a clean sheet, despite the fact that every club takes their Champions League games seriously, Liverpool remains the favorite to win.
I believe we should not underestimate Leverkusen's ability against any team this season, probable they don't want any of their main players to be injured before the Champions League games, which is why they don't want to put a lot of pressure on the Bundesliga title this season after losing to Leipzig in their last game, but I'm looking forward to seeing how Leverkusen competes with another great team in the Champions League this season.
