The Italian Champions' 29-game unbeaten run has ended at Anfield.

Liverpool, after being shown the exit in the FA cup by giant killer Banrsley, demonstrated strong dominance in midfield and attacking.

The absence of Materazzi gave Liverpool the advantage to score in five minutes before the end of time.

We will see they back in action in second leg to see which team will survive
