Liverpool’s return to home life in the UEFA Champions League saw them defeat RB Salzburg 4-3 on Wednesday night.
The Reds played their first home European game since that historic 4-0 win over Barcelona back in May and returned with a similar level of entertainment.
Jurgen Klopp’s men faced a side who hold many of the same principles of his own. A style of play based on energy and prominent attacking football showed just how dangerous teams can be when they go toe-to-toe with the Reds – and execute it precisely.
Salzburg’s manager, Jesse Marsch, became the first American manager to take a side into the UEFA Champions League and the US coach showed his value against Klopp’s men.
Their average of 4.4 goals per game before this encounter indicated that there would be goals on Wednesday night, and there certainly were.
Salzburg’s attack caused Liverpool a host of problems in the second half, but the Reds ultimately came out on top.
After the dramatic win, we outline three players who starred for the Reds against Salzburg.
