Mid-season friendlies are not organized to decide who’s the best nor to pour in some additional pressure, but it’s always nice to end one chapter with a win, even in a friendly.That’s what Liverpool did on Friday night, topping AC Milan 4-1 (2-1) in the ultimate match of the Dubai Super Cup.Mohamed Salah, Thiago Alcantara and Darwin Nunez, with a double, pushed the Scousers to a comfortable win as they dominated the game and deservedly won in the end.Both gaffers, Jurgen Klopp and Stefano Pioli, opted for their best-possible squads and provided the fans with some excellent football.The Reds – playing today in their black-and-white away kit – opened the scoring almost instantly as Salah buried it low past the keeper following great teamwork and sealed with Matip’s meticulous assist.The Italians fought back near the 30-minute mark through Saelemakers, but it didn’t stay in stalemate for long. Thiago Alcantara fired an exquisite one in the bottom right corner near the half-time interval to return his side’s lead. Unlike previous games – mostly the one against Arsenal – Klopp decided to keep his key players on the pitch much longer in the second half, and it paid off for him massively. The German gaffer was happy to see his gifted striker Darwin Nunez finally making his presence visible with a much-needed brace. The Uruguayan netted twice in the span of just six minutes – firstly, it was a superb solo run, as he dashed from the right flank before a smooth finish into the near corner; the second one was a classy tap-in following Doak’s assist that found the South American on the far post for 4-1.##NAJAVA_MECA_6893005##
