This positive news comes because of how great the Maltese National Team have been performing lately. In their last set of matches, they convincingly beat Cyprus (3-0) and narrowly lost to Slovenia (1-0) and Russia (2-0) away from home. These good performances led to the better ranking.

National Team coach Devis Mangia will now be hoping to further impress not only locally but on a continental and global stage. Their next games in October will be a home game against Slovenia and a trip to Cyprus.

Liverpool beat AC Milan in crazy thriller at Anfield

Sep 16 2021

Last night Liverpool beat AC Milan in what was the best match of this week’s Champions League matches. The match was filled with goals, penalty calls, offside goals and plenty of drama. AC Milan and Liverpool have a history facing each other in the Champions League, meeting each other twice in the Final once in 2005 and the other in 2007. This is the first time the two clubs have met in a normal match not a final.

Liverpool started the game the best way possible, challenging Mike Maignan multiple times, which led to a Fikayo Tomori own goal in the 9th minute. When it seemed that Liverpool will close the game early on they lost their attacking edge. The last 5 minutes of the first half was all Milan. In the 42nd minute Ante Rebic scored Milan’s first UCL goal in 8 years and only 2 minutes later Brahim Diaz gave Milan the lead.

The second half wasn’t as exciting as the first, but it consisted of more player to player battles. The only goal of the second half came in the 69th minute when Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson channeled his inner Steven Gerrard and scored a powerful volley from outside the box. That goal divided the two teams and provided Liverpool with an important win that helped them set out their Champions League intentions.
