Jurgen Klinsmann makes 'crazy' admission about Liverpool v Inter Milan decider

Former Inter Milan striker Jurgen Klinsmann believes the Italian champions are capable of turning their 2-0 disadvantage around at Anfield against Liverpool tonight.

The German legend knows the strength of the Liverpool side but still thinks Inter can comeback and produce an upset to progress to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Goals from Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah gave the Reds a two-goal lead in the first leg in the San Siro and they are expected to progress tonight.

However, the Champions League is famous for comebacks and Inter will be hoping another one can happen on Merseyside.

“There’s always the possibility, crazy things can happen across 90 minutes," said Klinsmann to Gazzetta dello Sport.

"Even though Liverpool are exceptional, they’re still just a team made up of men and Inter are in the best position to go for it – they have nothing to lose.

“Maybe if they score in the first half then they’ll build up confidence, then who knows."

*PICK THE LIVERPOOL TEAM FOR TONIGHT:

On the loss in the first leg, Klinsmann added: “You win with the details, Inter did everything but score. But if they played as they did in the first leg, but this time the ball went in, it’s a different story.

“However, even if Inter were to be eliminated, it would be the ‘how’ that makes the difference.

“The way they face Liverpool will also determine how they face the rest of the season. They must play a brave match that gives them the enthusiasm to beat their opponents in Serie A.”
