Liverpool pulled off a significant win at San Siro, their fourth victory in four years against Inter Milan. However, the narrative would have been vastly different if Dominik Szoboszlai had missed that penalty. Salah's absence still casts a long shadow over the team, with many left to ponder whether he really is indispensable.
Despite the challenges posed by his non-arrival, Arne Slot took charge and orchestrated an assured display from his squad. What was most notable, however, was the spirit of unity displayed on the pitch after a tumultuous few days for Liverpool. The players showed that they are more than just individual talents but also a cohesive unit.
Virgil van Dijk emphasized that the team's focus should be on itself and that there is no need to dwell on external pressures. For his part, Andy Robertson acknowledged that this victory was crucial for all of them, especially considering the dismal run of results prior to it.
In terms of Salah, Slot deftly sidestepped questions about the player's absence by shifting the focus towards Szoboszlai and other players who stepped up in his place. The manager highlighted how much potential he has shown both physically and on the pitch.
Szoboszlai is indeed proving to be a crucial component of Liverpool's lineup this season, having scored directly involved in more goals than any other player so far (10 – five goals, five assists). His ability to run for 40 minutes non-stop over four games within ten days shows just how well he's been utilized by the coach.
As it stands now, there is no turning point being declared here. The team needs to keep pushing forward and build on this momentum, which seems unshakeable right now. Liverpool will be eager to see how Salah recovers from his absence when they get back home, but their focus remains firmly fixed on the present.

I'm literally blown away by how much heart and unity these Liverpool players showed out there!!! 
They could've easily been distracted by all the external pressure and whatnot, but nope! They banded together like a well-oiled machine 
And can we talk about Dominik Szoboszlai for a sec?!? 
The guy's got skills for days! 40 minutes of non-stop action over four games is MIND-BLOWING 
And I love how Van Dijk's focusing on their internal struggles instead of getting caught up in external drama 
what's not to love about this? 
! They showed some serious grit and unity in that game against Inter Milan, it was beautiful to watch 
. And let's be real, Szoboszlai is definitely emerging as a superstar player 
️, his work rate is insane! As for Salah, we all know he's the king, but Arne Slot handled this situation perfectly by shifting the focus to other players and not making it all about him 
. The team just needs to keep rolling now and I'm sure they'll be back on top soon 
! They really showed heart and teamwork out there at San Siro 
. It's crazy to think how much of a difference one player can make, like Dominik Szoboszlai 
But seriously, it's great to see the squad come together and focus on their own game plan 
. Arne Slot's tactics were spot on 
, and the team's unity is really inspiring 
️. And I love how Virgil van Dijk is keeping things grounded 
. It's not about Salah right now, it's about the team moving forward 
!
! They've got a great chance of making a deep run in the tournament 
. Bring it on! 
He's definitely proving himself to be a crucial part of the lineup and I'm loving how he's stepping up when it matters most 
Salah may not be there, but this team has shown they're capable of overcoming anything together 
FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN SO FAR, SZOBOSZLAI IS PROOF THAT THE TEAM CAN WIN WITHOUT THEIR STAR PLAYER. ARNE SLOT IS DOING A GREAT JOB KEEPING THEM FOCUSED ON THE PRESENT AND NOT LETTING External PRESSURE GET TO THEM 
40 minutes non-stop in four games? that's just ridiculous! lfc needs to keep this momentum going and see how they do when Salah returns 
I'm literally riding this wave of Liverpool's win 
! Arne Slot is a genius coach 
, the way he shifted the focus to Szoboszlai was pure magic 
, and that penalty save? LIFE.CHANGING 
!
