Milan are also winless in their last three home matches in the
Champions League having registered two successive draws and one defeat.
“We are the youngest team in the group so coming up against a team like Liverpool is a huge challenge,” Milan manager Stefano Pioli said after their clash with Liverpool.
“We are playing against a team used to playing at this level, but if we play as a team we can give anybody a game at this level.
"Liverpool are at a high level but we are not quite there yet. We will use this game to develop further and to gain experience in this competition."
