Media caption, Highlights: AC Milan 1-3 Liverpool
Joe Rindl
BBC Sport journalist
Liverpool claimed an assured victory at AC Milan on their Champions League return to firmly bounce back from Saturday's shock defeat by Nottingham Forest.
The Reds were stunned on the break inside three minutes when AC Milan winger Christian Pulisic found the net with a driven strike across goal.
But Arne Slot's side responded with a dominant performance and, after Mohamed Salah hit the bar, defender Ibrahima Konate levelled with a stooping 23rd-minute header from Trent Alexander-Arnold's free-kick.
Salah struck the bar again before Virgil van Dijk completed the turnaround shortly before half-time when he met Konstantinos Tsimikas' corner with a close-range header.
The win was wrapped up in the 67th minute when Cody Gakpo ended an electric run by squaring the ball to Dominik Szoboszlai for a tap-in.
Liverpool also gave a brief debut to summer g Federico Chiesa who replaced Salah in the 93rd minute.
Slot starts new Liverpool European era with win Media caption, AC Milan 1-3 Liverpool: Stephen Warnock analyses Liverpool win
Liverpool were playing their first Champions League match in 18 months after spending last season in the Europa League.
It was a happy return - even after a shaky opening which may have had a few Reds fans worrying about the start of a slump.
But after Liverpool conceded they were back to their high-pressing best, catching Milan out in dangerous areas and firmly responding to Saturday's honeymoon-ending loss to Forest.
Salah looked lively, hitting the bar twice in the first half, and AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan did well to twice keep out Gakpo.
Liverpool's centre-backs got their side back into the game with towering headers to punish AC Milan for poor defending at set-pieces.
After the restart Maignan denied Diogo Jota, but was injured by the striker's follow-through and had to replaced because of knee trouble.
The visitors continued to dominate and got a deserved third through Szoboszlai's tap-in, while Reds keeper Alisson Becker was called into late action, tipping a Rafael Leao strike on to the post in the final moments.
Liverpool have tough fixtures to come in this year's Champions League - notably against Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen in October - so a win to kick things off will be a big relief for Slot.
During the match Liverpool players wore black armbands to pay tribute to travelling er Philip Dooley who was killed when struck by a vehicle in Italy, while representatives from both teams placed flowers on what would have been his seat at the game.
The Reds' victory was their first in Europe without Jurgen Klopp as manager since Brendan Rodgers' side beat Besiktas 1-0 in the first leg of a Europa League last-32 tie in February 2015.

This will be the fifth meeting between Milan and Liverpool in European competition, with half of their previous clashes coming in the UEFA Champions League final (2/4) – 2004-05 (won by Liverpool on penalties) and 2006-07 (won 2-1 by Milan).
Liverpool have won all three of their UEFA Champions League games at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium, winning 1-0 in 2008 and 2-0 in 2022 against Internazionale, and 2-1 against Milan in 2021. The Reds are the only team to play there more than once as a visiting side in the competition while maintaining a 100% record.
Liverpool have won four of their last five away games against Italian sides in European competition (L1), with all five of those coming since 2020. Prior to this, the Reds had only won three of their first 14 such matches away to Italian opposition (D3 L8).
Milan are unbeaten in their last four games against English sides in the UEFA Champions League (W2 D2), with each of those coming across the previous two seasons (v Spurs and Newcastle). They’ve never previously managed to avoid defeat in five consecutive games against English opponents in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League.
In taking charge of Milan, Paulo Fonseca will be just the second Portuguese to manage an Italian club in the UEFA Champions League, after José Mourinho with Internazionale (2008-2010).
Liverpool manager Arne Slot has lost all three of his away games in the UEFA Champions League, with each of those coming in the group stage with Feyenoord last season (2-3 v Atlético Madrid, 0-1 v Lazio and 1-2 v Celtic). Despite that, Slot’s Feyenoord had the second-best shot differential away from home in last season’s group stage (+19 – 48 for, 29 against), while only Man City (24) faced fewer shots on the road.
Milan striker Álvaro Morata was the t-top scorer in the UEFA Champions League group stage last season, netting five goals in six appearances. Only once in his career has he netted more than five goals in a single campaign in the competition (six for Juventus in 2020-21).
Mohamed Salah has scored 41 goals for Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League; the most ever by a player for an English club in the competition. Since his first season at the club in 2017-18, only Robert Lewandowski (54) and Kylian Mbappé (42) have outscored Salah (41) in the UEFA Champions League.
Across the last two editions of the UEFA Champions League (2022-23 and 2023-24), only Vinícius Júnior (84) and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (64) have completed more dribbles than Milan’s Rafael Leão (57).
Trent Alexander-Arnold has assisted 10 goals for Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League (52 games); already the second-most ever by an English defender, only behind Ashley Cole (12 assists in 108 games).
