Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain says the players are delighted with their Champions League win at AC Milan.

Jürgen Klopp opted to make eight changes for the encounter at San Siro, where his side came from a goal down to win 2-1 thanks to finishes from Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi.

That result saw the Reds make history as they became the first English club to win all six of their games in a Champions League group phase.

"I said recently I think the team is in the best shape it's been," Oxlade-Chamberlain told Liverpoolfc.com post-match. "I think we're a better team than we have been at this point in time.

"And I think that comes with playing together for years, having moments of success, understanding what we needed to do to get that, the levels we had to set and how relentless we had to be to achieve those things.

"I think that just stands us in good stead every game going forward.

"Whether it's the Carabao Cup, obviously the FA Cup will be starting soon, the last few Champions League games where we've made changes, maybe in recent seasons gone by when we make so many changes it doesn't always go the way you want it to and the performance drops off. But I think tonight was a really good example.

"We can be proud of the fact that the whole squad is important and the whole squad is moving forward and developing together because that is crucial.

"We've had moments where we've had a lot of injuries and players need to step up and fill the shoes of some really top players that play a lot of football for this club.

"So moments like tonight where the young lads can come in and prove their worth and all of us as a group can continue the high standards and winning games and getting a result, I think that shows the team is in a good place."
