Liverpool face the simplest of their eight Champions League league phase matches this Wednesday, although they can’t afford complacency against competition debutants LASK.
The Reds were triumphant in their opening European match of the season, coming from behind to beat Atlético Madrid 2–1 under the Anfield floodlights. The Raiffeisen Arena doesn’t boast the same allure as the fabled Merseyside venue, but just under 20,000 supporters will make their voices heard during a seismic occasion for LASK.
The Austrians were narrow 1–0 losers to AEK Athens in their first-ever match in the Champions League proper, and they will be forced to raise their level a fair few notches for Liverpool’s visit. They were unable to do so during the other meeting between the sides in Linz, when Jürgen Klopp’s men ran out 3–1 victors in the 2023–24 Europa League group stage.
Liverpool might have conquered Atlético Madrid in their continental opener, but they enter the upcoming fixture deflated from Sunday’s bitter 3–0 defeat to Manchester City. Ryan Gravenberch’s costly red card contributed to Andoni Iraola’s first loss as Reds manager, with the Spaniard determined to witness a response from his injury-stricken team on their European travels.
