Champions League news from the 5.45pm BST kick-off
The only previous time that Liverpool have visited Lask, in the Europa League back in 2023, Jürgen Klopp was still manager of the club and the German put out a largely second-string XI, with Caoimhin Kelleher, Kostas Tsimikas, Harvey Elliott, Steven Bajcetic, Ben Gannon-Doak, Wataru Endo, Darwin Núñez all part of the starting line-up.
At half-time, Lask were 1-0 up and although Núñez scored a penalty early in the second half, it was only after the hour mark – when Klopp brought on Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister – that Liverpool finally wrestled control of the match. Two minutes after those subs, Luis Diaz put Liverpool ahead before another late substitute, Mohamed Salah came off the bench to seal a 3-1 win.
