Liverpool fans stunned by Cody Gakpo transformation after what he did v Milan
Liverpool fans were left stunned by Cody Gakpo after his performance in the Champions League victory against AC Milan.
Arne Slot’s side grabbed three points after a 3-1 at the San Siro thanks to goals from Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai, but it was the winger who grabbed the headlines.

A highlights package of his display quickly went viral on social media following the game, with fans sharing their praise for the transformation he has made under the new boss.
