Liverpool reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The Reds narrowly lost at home to Inter, but won the first leg in Milan 2-0.
Not Edin Dzeko entered the base with the guests but Alexis Sanchez. In order to have more agility in the Italian attack, coach Simone Inzaghi must have thought of the dressing rooms at Anfield, as Liverpool have not lost this season.
This approach has worked. Inter put pressure on the owners of the land in search of a goal. Fans were a bit quiet about it. It really calmed down after just half an hour, when the match was halted due to a medical emergency in the Liverpool stands.
After the start of the second half, Joel Matip climbed the crossbar in favor of the Reds, who took off and saw Virgil van Dijk’s right chance, which was saved by acrobatic Milan Skriniar. And goalkeeper Alisson had to intervene cautiously before the end of the first half with a dangerous cross dose from Hakan Celhanoglu.
Mohamed Salah had to score immediately after the coffee, but the Egyptian hit the post after a nice pass from Thiago. Inter benefited when Lautaro Martinez hit a mop ball into the net: 0-1. However, two minutes later Alexis Sanchz received a second yellow card. Subsequent changes were made, but Inter persisted. Although the best chances were still for Liverpool: Salah hit the post for the second time and Luis Diaz missed another unmissable opportunity.
