Liverpool Wins Champions League Match Against Bologna

Liverpool secured a 2-0 victory against Bologna in their first home Champions League game since February 2023, with goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah. This win marked an impressive start for manager Arne Slot, who achieved his eighth win in nine matches, alongside a first clean sheet in three. Salah made history by becoming the first Liverpool player to score in five consecutive home Champions League matches, further solidifying his impact with an assist for Mac Allister's opener. Despite Bologna's attempts to equalize, including hitting the woodwork, Liverpool's defense held firm, ensuring they maintained control of the game. The victory also highlights Liverpool's strong form in European competitions, having scored at least twice in their last ten home matches. Meanwhile, former assistant manager Pep Lijnders, now at Red Bull Salzburg, is facing struggles in his new role, contrasting with Liverpool's current success under Slot.
