James Milner is not a hero or a man of unknown utility – he quickly becomes Liverpool's most important player

MIlner took the task on his own with two tackles on Neymar in the first 20 minutes and then pitched a challenge of such strength that he also took a teammate.

But make no mistake, Milner's performance was not about going around the field trying to sound tough. Becoming familiar with Neymar, one of the most intelligent footballers and space discoverers in the world, was the result of exceptional awareness, concentration and physical form.

As the game progressed, Milner's higher energy levels became even more obvious. In the 70th minute, he felt the danger on the right flank and ran to tackle Angel Di Maria perfectly. Ten minutes later, a dizzy Di Maria was replaced.

Milner however remained at the center of the competition, gaining strength as the match continued as a Yorkshire Eliud Kipchoge. Neymar thought he had finally shaken him as he made his way to the edge of the box in the final stages, but Milner returned to excitement as the Brazilian seemed certain to score.
