Champions League opener brings big test at Anfield

Liverpool open their Champions League campaign against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, with $169m signing Alexander Isak expected to debut alongside Mohamed Salah. Arne Slot’s squad has been preparing hard, though Curtis Jones remains out and Alexis Mac Allister offers a timely boost.

Federico Chiesa stays professional despite exclusion, while Milos Kerkez smiles again after Sunday’s struggles. It’s all eyes on Isak tomorrow — and if his price tag is anything to go by, he should probably come with free Wi-Fi too.
