Liverpool win away in the Champions League without Mohamed Salah for the first time since 2009, in a big night for boss Arne Slot.

A brief VAR review saw the referee point to the spot and hand Liverpool a late opportunity to snatch maximum points. With Mohamed Salah out of the squad, it was Dominik Szoboszlai who stepped up to take spot-kick — dispatching it with the authority of a seasoned penalty taker under the pressure of a jeering home crowd.

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot questioned whether Mohamed Salah should be the one to initiate a conversation with him following his explosive interview at the weekend.

Liverpool shrugged off the absence of Mohamed Salah as midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai scored an 88th-minute penalty to give them a 1-0 Champions League win at Inter Milan on Tuesday that boosts their hopes of a top-eight finish.

Atalanta, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich all overturned early deficits to win their own matches. Ginluca Scamacca and Charles De Ketelaere helped take down Chelsea, a brace from Jules Kounde helped get past Eintracht Frankfurt, and Lennart Karl scored for the third straight game as Bayern got past Sporting CP.
