Milan took the lead early on through Christian Pulisic but then conceded two goals from set-pieces to Liverpool’s two-man centre-back duo in quick succession before being slumped to a 3-1 defeat at the San Siro in the opening game of the new UEFA Champions League phase for the 2024-25 season.

“We played against Liverpool, a big team, and we started well, both in attack and defence,” said Fonseca, who led the Rossoneri to a 4-0 Serie A win at Venezia on Saturday for their first win of the season.

“But then we conceded two goals from set pieces, which changed the game. We lost our mental balance because when the team doesn’t believe, we have problems and can’t play the way we prepared in training.”

“I told my players, you can’t make mistakes in a game like this. At the same time, I have to be honest that Liverpool are the better team than us.”

“We have to keep working hard, not just for 20 minutes, but to play our game for 70, 80, 90 minutes. After we conceded the second goal, the team stopped playing. It became difficult after that.
