Jamie Carragher has set the most important game of Liverpool in the current campaign.
His views came after the Reds came closer to the Premier League triumph after their 2-0 win over Newcastle to clearly increase 13 points at the top of the table.
The side of Arne Slot has so far enjoyed a stunning campaign after most of Liverpool have dropped their performance collective – where both Manchester City and Arsenal would be out of the competition in the current phase.
While the Premier League title holders have struggled since the start of the season, the Gunners suffered a huge blow on Tuesday after a disappointing scoreless draw against Nottingham Forest.
The Reds are unbeaten in their last 24 Premier League collisions since their 0-1 defeat against Forest in Anfield.
Carragher, speaking on the stick to the football podcast, which you are offered by Sky Bet, has shared his opinion that the loss of September was not Liverpool's most important match of the season.
“I thought, you just called the forest game and the forest competition came very early in the season,” said the red icon in a discussion with Ian Wright.
'And I think a game that was really important, nothing to do with the competition, they played AC Milan away.
“A few days later. They are beaten 1-0, I think AC Milan scored within three or four minutes and it was that thing they eventually win; I think it was 3-1.
Only three days later, after their defeat by Forest in Anfield, Liverpool went to AC Milan in Giuseppe Meazza for their first Champions League collision of the season.
The match was well documented as a stunning comeback from the men of Arne Slot, who managed to score three goals after Christian Pulisic led the Italian side.
Center supports Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate both responded in the first half with main attacks, while Dominik Szoboszlai scored the decisive goal in the 67th minute.
'If you look back on that game, now, now because you mention Forest, and I think that was a big moment for the manager.
“That was probably a huge turning point, that AC Milan game. They are still not the AC Milan of old, but it is still San Siro, a big game. '
Since the defeat of Forest, Liverpool had been unbeaten in all games until they were beaten by Tottenham in the first stage of the Carabao Cup in mid -January.
However, they managed to cancel the situation by beating Spurs 4-0 in the second game to qualify for the final, where Slot's Side will be confronted against Newcastle on 16 March.
Liverpool was the first to finish in the Champions League group phase, two points above Laliga Giants Barcelona.
Wright responded to the opinion of Carragher by praising the performance of Mohamed Salah this season, which added an assist to his statistics against Newcastle on Wednesday.
He said, “We look at Mo Salah, I think the best season ever is.”
“He is just absolutely incredible, he was absolutely my favorite player of the season,” Jill Scott added.
