On this day in 2018 Liverpool began one of their most memorable and dramatic Champions League campaigns, which ultimately ended in a sixth European Cup at the end of the season. They started as they meant to go on on September 18 with the visit of Ligue 1 Champions Paris Saint-Germain.
It proved to be another magical night under the Anfield lights and Jurgen Klopp ’s side got off to the perfect start in the first-half. There was no stopping a towering header from Daniel Sturridge as he leapt into the air to meet a cross from Andy Robertson - the former Liverpool striker made an almost instant impact in his first Champions League start in six years.
James Milner increased their lead from the penalty spot a few minutes later after Gini Wijnaldum was clipped in the box. However, Thomas Tuchel’s side were able to reduce the deficit before the break through defender Thomas Meunier.
