Champions League trips to Italy have proven somewhat fruitful for Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp.
Twice last season they returned from daunting assignments at the San Siro with victory, first against AC Milan in the group stage and then downing Inter in the first leg of their round of 16 tie.
The previous season, Diogo Jota’s hat-trick was the highlight of a club record 5-0 romp at Atalanta. And even when the Reds were beaten 4-2 at Roma in their semi-final second leg four years ago, it wasn’t sufficient to deny them the first of three final appearances in the last five seasons.
