In the first 10 minutes, although the two sides had offense and defense, the most eye-catching thing in the game was the linesman's flag. Since the indicator flag fell off temporarily and could not be installed, the lineman could only use a stick as a flag.
In the 18th minute, Liverpool was hit by injuries, Wijnaldum replaced Chamberlain, and Chamberlain was carried off the field on a stretcher.
Two minutes later, Kolarov's 2-meter shot was blocked by Pickford and hit the crossbar. Liverpool escaped.
Affected by Chamberlain's injury, the soldiers of the Red Army, who were briefly distracted by the injury, cheered up and launched another round of powerful attacks.
Juan received a yellow card for uprooting Mane in the 26th minute. This time it was Zhang Mai's through pass that almost caused Mane's single-handed goal.

In the 73rd minute, Perotti made a cross from the left side of the penalty area, and Schick's header was confiscated by Pickford.

In the 81st minute, Roma pulled back a point, Nainggolan made a long pass, and Dzeko stopped the ball on the left side of the penalty area and scored a goal, 1-5!
Dzeko scored in four consecutive Champions League games, the 21st goal in all competitions. In this game, he was firmly marked by Maguire with good height and skill. He didn't have a chance until Maguire went down.
Zhang Mai hurriedly discussed with Van Dijk, and finally the Dutch iron gate personally took action to strangle Dzeko, the Roman high point.

After 1 minute, Dzeko made a cross from the left side of the penalty area, and Perotti shot from the front and missed the near post.
In the 88th minute, Fazio pushed down Zhang Mai who broke through with the ball and received a yellow card.

Liverpool led Rome by three goals in the first leg, and the whole country of the British Isles rejoiced, but there were still two people who were not satisfied with the game.
Zhang Mai was dissatisfied with Liverpool's defensive performance in the last 10 minutes of the game. Lovren, who had been out of battle for a long time, made the Red Army's defense drop by a level.
Klopp and Zhang Mai have similar opinions, but his focus is on the two away goals scored by Rome in the last 10 minutes.
The two finally agreed on one aspect: Roma goalkeeper Alisson Niucha, who saved at least 10 of Liverpool's must-have goals in the audience, hurry up!
On the second day, another highlight of the first leg of the Champions League semi-final also came to fruition:
The Bundesliga class bully Bayern Munich sits at the Allianz Arena, 1-2 was reversed by the Champions League defending champion Real Madrid, Ronaldo played well, and Ronaldo failed to score.
