Matt: Congratulations to Woltmann and Bradley. I love the way Klopp rotates his team. He really knows how to build youngsters up, which isn't easy to do given his packed squad. Great to see more youngsters getting playing minutes on big occasions, and with Klopp looking after them, you know you won't have heard the last of them.
Phil McNulty's match report is up. Go check it out.

Imagine resting your entire back 4 and midfield and winning in Milan. 100% record in the supposed Group of Death.
Paul
So when does this group of death start?
Scott
Nobody will want to draw Liverpool in the latter rounds. They will have to overcome a massive psycological barrier before a ball is even kicked. Number 7 on the horizon??

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp to BT Sport on winning every game in the group stages:
"Very proud. Especially because of the sixth game to be honest. We chose that line-up because we wanted to win the game. We needed fresh legs. We needed desire to play this game which is difficult in this hectic schedule to always be on fire for the next game.
"What the boys did tonight I could not be more proud. It was an incredible game. I am so happy. The performance was outstanding. Having 21 shots, so many situations where we played outstandingly well and defended passionately and well organised."
On Nat Phillips' turn in the box: "Yes! Situation of the game, eh? No he played an outstanding game.
"Alisson wanted to play desperately so that speaks a lot for him. Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah were exceptional and how much they help defensively was outstanding. This mix of fresh legs and then quality as well was really good. But Nat with that situation was obviously... *laughs*... yes, I am looking forward to seeing it again. We have already spoken about it in the dressing room. It was a ticky one!"

Michael Owen speaking to BT Sport:
"Salah is breaking records every time he plays at the moment.
"The finish was made to look easy, it was not easy. He makes things look so simple at the minute. Every time he's in front of goal you can't see him missing.
"That's confidence. He doesn't feel like missing.
"Where will Mo Salah go? This is the most important contract of his career. Of course it will take time but I can't see him going to any other club."
FT: AC Milan 1-2 Liverpool
Mohamed Salah has been involved in 29 goals in all competitions this season (20 goals, 9 assists).
That's more than twice as many as any other Premier League player.
FT: AC Milan 1-2 Liverpool
A few other records:
Liverpool win their opening six matches of a European campaign for the first time.
Liverpool win six successive Champions League matches for the first time.
Liverpool equal the club record of six successive wins in all European competitions, set from April to September 2010 (Europa League main tournament and qualifying).

Michael Owen is singing Liverpool's praises. He tells BT Sport:
"That should have been the group of death for Liverpool. They've brushed aside all these teams.
"They're miles better. If they played their full strength in all these games it could have been embarrassing for the other teams."

Neil Lennon
Former Celtic manager on BBC Radio 5 Live
I thought Liverpool were excellent. Considering the changes they made, once they got the equaliser, it looked like there'd only be one winner.
They completely dominated AC Milan. The manager will be absolutely thrilled.
So to confirm Group B standings:
1) Liverpool
2) Atletico Madrid
3) Porto
4) AC Milan
